Why does my acne medication make my acne worse?
Sudafedrin asked:
I just started using a new acne medication last week (Neutragena for men) to treat my mild acne. Nothing too big, just some sparse pimples. Ever since, it seems my acne has been getting worse, popping up in places that it never was before on my face. I am kinda concerned!

Acne medicine works by taking anything that is under the skin that will soon be acne and pushing it out. Its a process thats anoyying but works. It gets worse before it gets better. Just be patient
well you have to see what kind of pimples you have then use the cream that treats that type of pimple usually using the wrong type of cream can worsen the problem
sometimes if your skin gets too dry it will compensate by producing more oil….then you get more zits. some of those acne treatments do that to me. I went to the dermatologist, he gave me some kind of cream that has clindamycin in it (it’s an antibiotic) that worked like a charm. try going to the dermatologist.
eat only healthy foods. no sweets red meat and white flour products and put aloe vera gel on the acne and this will heal it
It happens with most medicines in the beginning. It will all go away soon.

I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered
my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of
drugs. I cured myself through DIET.
-This is what you should avoid/elminate:
fried foods
White bread/flour
starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta)
soda/carbonated drinks
sugar/corn syrup
meat/dairy
soft foods (processed foods)
hydrogenated oils (in processed foods)
-you should increase your intake of:
fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least)
8 glasses of water a day
whole foods
black and/or brown bread (whole grains)
nuts
-you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline forming foods, to 20% acid forming
foods. (mostly fruits and vegetables)

Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get
away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods
below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and
elminate than those above.
I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer
today.
He also said you can help yourself through osteopathic adjustments to your spine,
he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn’t in proper
adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven’t done this yet, as it is
expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the
aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years.
Don’t believe the people who say it doesn’t effect it, I swear to god this will
help. It helped me. =) good luck!
