I do not endorse the Clearasil adult vanishing cream mentioned in a previous post. It is tinted very darkly and it makes my zits bigger and more painful.

My chin is so bad that it’s made my lower lip swell and stick out. It stings when I speak or make any facial expressions.

I made an appointment with a dermatologist several weeks ago, but I still have several more weeks to wait for my appointment. I’m still looking forward to the visit even though I have no experience with this doctor’s office but couldn’t afford the fee with the dermatologist who treated myself and my family in previous years. All I can afford is to cross my fingers and hope for success.

is to stop picking/touching/performing “bathroom surgery.” Though I may still have acne, it isn’t as red and noticable as when I pick at it to help it along. This is hard to do, since I don’t realize how much I touch my chin during the day or rest my head in my hands when I’m tired.

Recently I couldn’t afford a dermatology appointment but could afford OTC treatment before a big event. I got:

*Sulfur-containing spot treatment (Clearasil Adult Acne Treatment)
*Aveeno Redness-Reducing Moisturizer with SPF 15
*Schiff’s B-Complex vitamins

It helped reduce inflammation, though there are still some persistant cyctic buggers. I’m still looking for Queen Helene Mint Juleup Mask. I’ve used that in the past with amazing success. It’s really inexpensive but a little hard to track down.
