All About Pimples & Acne - Thread 7

[ireneeey]

To those who are suffering from chest acne/bacne, what did you do to solve this? Napaka bipolar kasi ng chest and back acne ko. Minsan clear tas minsan ang dami lalo na pag malapit na ang period. Pwede rin bang lagyan ng toner yung chest? Like for example yung glycolic toner that I am using for my face, pwede rin kaya sa chest? I am using Likas papaya soap and teranex glycolic soap. Yung Likas for the whole body, while teranex is for chest and back lang. But still, di sila enough e. Im thinking of putting Johnsons powder after taking a batch. Pawisin pa naman ako.

i have the same case sis ireneeey. I consulted a derma last week and recommend nya is to use acne aid soap. Balitaan kita after a week pa, if ok.

Thanks sis! Actually kakakita ko lang niyang acne aid soap kagabi sa Watsons. Already thought of buying it na nga sana kaso naisip ko magpost muna dito. Yan ba yung may sulfur? Or iba pa yata yon. 2 kasi nakita ko yang acne aid soap and yung isa I forgot basta may sulfur siya.

[xsugar]

ay di ko alam sis yung sulfur one..pero yung binili ko is yung cleansing bar lang talaga 'steifel' yung brand nya. eto yung nirecomment nila para daw light lang tsaka pwede ng body and face. So far so good for me kasi parang ang squeaky clean feeling after:)

Update mo nalang ako sis if anong effect sayo. Right now, Im using safeguard for my chest and back. Then apply ng benzoyl peroxide after. Squeaky clean din kasi siya. Tignan ko kung effective.

Magmula ng gumamit ako ng cetaphil cleanser, di na ko tinubuan ng pimples s forehead ko. Sa forehead lang kasi yung acne ko. Wala din akong ginagamit na iba sa face ko. Moisturizer lang din sa morning. I scrub with honey and sugar once a week and put sheet mask once a week pero hindi consistent. Naniniwala akong less is more talaga. Huwag na maglagay sa face ng kung ano-ano kung di naman ma-pimples face mo. S chest and back acne naman meron ako noon, pero nung uminom ako ng ishi premium plus vitamin c, pansin ko nawawala siya.

Any recommendation for bacne problems? My 12 year old son has lots of pimples on his back. I brought him to a derma inside our village. Forgot her prescription but i bought it of course from her clinic, 1 liquid then isang ointment or cream type, GPO i think. applied it for one month. Nothing changed. Went back again. Same meds, ituloy lang daw. Another month, ganun pa rin. Nothing to do na daw. Just continue lang and it will pass na lang daw ganun daw talaga kasi stage of puberty tapos baka genetics din. No other options na daw kasi yung ibang alam niya di pwede sa bata like peeling, etc. Laki din ng nagastos ko sa kanya ha every time i buy meds nasa 2k plus wala din pala. Problem ko din yung sa forehead niya pero less naman compared sa back. 2nd visit namin she pricked the pimples on the forehead buti naman di nag scar. i asked her if she can recommend any natural options like apple cider, etc, di daw nya marecommend kasi wala daw silang study about it.

Hi, before I suffer din sa bacne. Check nyo din shampoos na ginagamit nyo and kung pano nyo balawan ang buhok nyo. Me, sicne I started to shampoo upside down and mag banlaw, nawala na sya. Clear na ang bacne ko. Minsan kasi yung chemicals nung mga ginagamit natin sa ulo natin. pag ni ririnse off natin tapos pababa sa katawan natin, cause din sya ng pag clog ng pores sa back at chest natin. Try nyo lang din.

Know what triggers your pimples/bacne.. Mine kasi pag sa chin/jaw - hormonal/dairy and chocolate, pag back/chest/shoulders - fabric conditioner and since i have fungal acne too, i avoid products with ingredients like fatty acids, oils, polysorbates, yeast ferment and esters.. I learn to read ingredients and avoid those that could potentially trigger my fungal acne. But Dairies are hard to resist, minsan i give in to temptation expect the next morning there's a zit or two sitting on my face.. Sa fabric conditioner naman lately ko lang narealized na it might be one that triggers my back and chest acne. I might be sensitive sa ingredients (haven't check it but its probably loaded with fragrance stuff)..I sweat a lot and combine it with fabcon on my clothes equals to back and chest acne.. I did test for a week na huwag lagyan ng fabcon yung mga damit ko mostly shirt, bra and office blouses.. And no new pimples or bumps have surfaced.. Then i tried using sulfur soap as body bar and i add sulfur ointment sa routine ko as a wash off mask sa face. Wrong move, i forgot to patch test. I was confident that im okay with sulfur and got pretty excited to put it in my routine. I'm sensitive to sulfur pala, 5days later i got some tiny bumps on my face which looks like a rash pero flesh-colored and then some red tiny rashes sa neck and chest. My skin feels itchy and i have that feeling that something is crawling on my skin lalo na sa back.. So i stop using the sulfur soap and the ointment and hide them in the deepest corner of my drawer.. Never again..
The rashes and tiny bumps have subsided days after i stop the sulfur.. I used lactacyd baby bath (blue) to help calmed those rashes and moisturize with CosRX oil-free lotion. A week later i've noticed na pati yung mga maliliit na pimples on my chest and back have dried out and healed, and my skin starts to feel smoother lalo na sa back. Ginawa ko ng staple body wash yung lactacyd baby bath and pair it with exfoliating bath gloves na may foaming net (2-3 times a week). Since i sweat a lot, i don't have that amoy-pawis smell anymore. Lactacyd baby bath doesn't lather rich but you can use some foaming nets to it. I love how its light and gentle on my skin, i really love the smell and it's low PH too. Bear in mind lang to patch test first, you might be sensitive to some of its ingredients.

di ba nakakaitim yung lactacyd baby wash? acidic kasi siya dba? do you use whitening soap too?

[Corinthians]

No, it doesn't cause darkening in my case ha. But always wear sunblock, lalo na sa areas na expose sa araw (arms, neck, legs). Yes it is an acid (lactic acid) but mild in concentration that's why its gentle even for babies. I do moisturize lang since i have dry skin sa body either Cerave or vaseline. Healthy skin kasi is slightly acidic in nature.
And i don't use any whitening soaps or any soaps anymore, it leaves a residue kasi which clogged my skin lalo na sa back. Just lactacyd then moisturizer that's how my skin likes it.

got a really bad case of cystic acne for months and kahit ano gamot, wala effect. then i changed my shampoo, iyon nga ang culprit. i was using dove shampoo then, sayang ang bango pa naman.

[ginger01]

After i stopped using any kind of moisturizers, my pimples stopped appearing also. This was recommended by an attendant from dermcare, thanks to her 😀 I have oily skin so theres no need for a moisturizer, i realised. I just use sunblock daily. Bumaba din ang self-confidence ko dahil sa acne na yan. I also have bacne since Highschool, 34 na ako ngaun. After ko nagpalit from bar soap to liquid body wash, na minimize na sya. Mga dark spots nlng ang prob.
CosRX pimple patch very effective sa akin if i have occasional pimples kahit sa likod nilalagay ko.

I am taking Althea pills which helped control my hormonal breakouts. Although when I'm about to get my period, may isa or dalawang pimples pa rin.

Pero just last month, when I started to use Maxi Peel Zero, wala akong breakout kahit isa! So then I'll continue using this for two more months siguro then rest para di ako ma-immune. And this is the only Maxi peel product na nag-work sakin.

wwahhh, im using dove shampoo din sis unicorn_ChicMD.. baka yun ang culprit ng acne ko sa batok just after ng hair strands ko

ano gamit mo now?nag-lessen ba?

[mimiku]

Dove also caused my breakout 2 years ago. Bastia gumamit ako inyan guaranteed the next Day may acne na ako.

sis, i am now using head and shoulders. yes, nag lessen pero ang marks ang dami. nakakalungkot. but dove talaga ang culprit because wala ng bagong tumutubo eh. sad no? i love how it smells on my hair eh. 

[xsugar]

^^actually narealize ko lang sya nung mabasa ko post mo. i noticed that too, dove works on my hair well but hindi pala sa skin ko so sad talaga. i just bought palmolive na balak ko itry. i've tried head and shoulder na din kasi kaso feeling ko mas nakaka-dandruff ako.

i am using dove shampoo and body wash din..so maybe its time for me to switch to other product. mag organic kaya ako like human nature? any suggestions? thanks!

[Gaysha]

Any update? Have you undergone any of the procedure you mentioned? Very interested. Now researching online first. Would be grateful to know the prices. Yun naman honestly ang reason why most do't undergo this even if we really want to. Sometimes, we're intimidated about the price. Yun pala abot kaya naman pag pinilit
