get rid of acne

since I started my antibiotics and I don’t see a huge improvement. I have 5 cysts on my neck, one of which is huge and painful. My face is ok, just a few little spots. Argghh . . . so frustrating. I’ll give it a full month and see how I look. If there’s still no improvement, it’s back to the doctor I go.

three huge cysts on my neck, two on my left cheek, and three on the right. I am so glad I finally went to the dermatologist today. He have me tetracycline, a b.p. face wash, and an antibiotic topical gel. I am starting the antibiotics tonight. I hope this works!

After much trial and error, I think I’ve found the right combination of treatments for my skin. I use antibacterial Cetaphil in the morning and St. Ive’s exfoliating scrub for oily skin before bed. Occasionally I use white vinegar as a toner. I’ve also been drinking more water, taking a multi-vitamin and limiting my dairy intake.

So far, the clogged pores and inflamed red bumps on my cheeks are fading and I’m not breaking out more. I’m still not completely blemish free, but it’s getting better!
