Pimple Face

I am so baffled why my face is breaking out on tiny pimples on my forehead and chin area. I am way past the puberty stage where having skin blemish is a common occurrence.

I am still using the same pimple cream. I just noticed that my skin is probably immune to the components of the pimple cream. I think I will have to check the internet for the best acne treatment review. I may have to shift to a different brand if mine does not serve its purposed anymore.

Not Another Zit!

What is wrong with my skin these days? I think I am too old to have pimples. Then again, maybe not.

After my pimple outbreak few days ago, another one developed on my right cheek. Almost near the chin area and it is very red. My daughter saw and teased me about it. She thought, only she would get pimples and I was the invincible one. Wrong!

I am fussy about what I put on my face. I wonder how to get rid of acne fast? I have a party to attend to. I don't want my big, red zit to get all the attention. Sigh...

Mega Zit on my Face

They said, when one pushes 40 (although it is still 2 years before I am over the hill), the blemish comes far in between. Well, let me tell you this, that does not apply to me. My face has been breaking out lately. I have small pimples below my chin and some at my back. And to my surprise, I saw one mega zit right on my left cheek near the ear lobe. Ouch!

The pimple is so red that my friend even tried to wipe it thinking it was a ketchup splatter on my face. Double ouch!

I am not very keen on concealing the blemish, too afraid that I may aggravate and cause it to create a tiny village of zits on my face. So, I am sticking to my acne treatment clear gel with a mild salicylic acid component so as not to burn my face and cause discoloration.

I hope it clears up soon because I am getting a bit conscious every time people mistake it for a ketchup. That will give you an idea on how red it is right now.

Pimple Be Gone...Please!

My daughter's skin problem is still at its peak. We already took her to a dermatologist last time we had a vacation in the Philippines. She was given a hypo-allergenic soap for her face which was mild with balanced ph level. She was told to drink plenty of water, have enough rest and to skip oily and junk food too.

The skin doctor also prescribed an acne cream to use at night on her problematic areas like the forehead and the T-zone. So far, the pimples on her forehead had diminished. However, new pimples are now visible on her nose area.

She is really into the puberty stage now. Much as I try to console her that things like having pimples and blemishes are part of growing up, she is not convinced. I am not sure if we can blame it to the genes since her dad had pimples while passing thru adolescent period. I was not spared too but had barely an outbreak of blemish.

I hope this skin problem does not affect her social life and the way she sees herself. I am just scared that this blemish issue will mar her confidence in meeting people and being who she really is inspite of the external appearance.

Oily Skin and Acne-Prone

I am sure my daughter did not get her acne-prone genes from me. I never had that much problem while I was about the same age as her. I have tried several oitments for her sensitive skin. I checked with the dermatologist about her skin-condition but she still gets break-outs. I am thankful though that the area affected is confined to the forehead only. Imagine if her cheeks get pimples too. She will get very upset and it is not a young lass would like to see when she looks on the mirror.

She is very careful with her face now. She is using the one recommended by the dermatologist. However, the best acne wash is still water in my opinion.

Beauty 101 - Acne Treatment

Acne can be treated. It is really not a hopeless case as long as you take necessary steps to maintain good hygiene. Drink plenty of water and eat vegetables and fresh fruits. Avoiding greasy and fatty food can also prevent the acne from building up. Over the counter acne treatment gel can also prevent the spread of acne and aids in drying the affected area; thus, minimizing scars and blemish spots. also, it pays to have a good night sleep and avoid getting over-stressed.

Having a flawless skin is a genetic disposition. If you are blessed with a peachy complexion then better take care of it.

Acne Village

My daughter gets very conscious with her skin complexion these days. She is checking on her face specially her forehead regularly now. Her forehead is her problematic area because it is acne-prone. We call it her little acne village. It's just a banter and we make sure she does not get fired up with that.

After checking the web to find the best acne spot treatment and checking with a skin specialist, she has been given a mild acne gel to dry up the acne. So far, it's doing a great job without leaving my daughter's forehead dry and flaky.

Spotless Back

I really admire those ladies who can bare their freckles-free, pimple-free and not so hairy backs with pretty off shoulder blouses and tube dresses. I remember when wearing those kind of clothing when I was younger and blemish-free. I wonder what happened as I have gotten older. Although I barely get pimples on my face and I am very thankful for that. My back is another problem. Lately, I noticed some rashes which I think are small pimples. I wonder if I can find any good acne body wash here in Dubai. I just cannot stand having small rashes at my back. I can bear having freckles here and there but please not the zits!

Skin Problem

My daughter is turning 12 few weeks from now and her acne has started to sprout like little mushrooms on her forehead.

I tried giving her mild acne cream to combat the growth and spread of her tiny army of pimples. I hope there is acne pills that we can purchase here for her age. However, I think the growth has something to do with the onset of adolescence. I keep reminding her not to prick nor touch the pimples so they don't get worse.
