me and my acne

Speaking from experience here. It might not be something you cant "fix". I have different triggers to my acne.

Sometimes its stress & this is really the only time that extra care with washing etc helps.

Other times its infections & with time & meds they clear.

Sometimes its just things in my body out of sorts. It doesnt have to be something specific like infection. It could be lack of sleep etc.

No matter what the trigger it is an indication for ME that somethis is amiss.

I will mention that for some reason my skin stays great when I am on Bactrim for maintenance. That might just be keeping things in check tho.

I dont really have "answers", but rather food for thought before you go loading up on skin cleansers etc.

I remember having a pimple on my face monthly when I was taking Pulmozyme. Before I starte Pulmo, I had wonderful skin. After a while, I got use to the pulmo and my skin cleared up. Thankfully with my tx drugs, my skin has been great. No pimples at all.

i think TOBI causes rashes. A friend of mine takes tobi and she is brreaking out all over and she thinks it is tobi. I looked it up on drugs.com and tobi causes rashes.


There are homeopathic cremes and gels that work wonders. I cannot remember the name of this product but it is a homeopathic gel and it is for acne and I used when I was on pulmo. It worked great.

The tube was peach and white colored. There are not that many homeopathic gels at the health food store so you would probably find it<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Oh, I just remembered the name. I believe it is called NELSONs something.

I love when I remember stuff from way back when. lol
