Skin Help?
Sounds like you have rosacea --no clue if i spelled that right. It may look like acne but any products for that would aggravate it worse. You need to go to a good dermatologist.
Reply:you can try wet tea bags it mite take the red out of your skin
Reply:My thought is rosacea too. There are special creams you can put on this to calm it down. It has nothing to do with acne. You may want to visit your doctor to see if this is what you have. Or surf the internet for 'rosacea' and check the pictures and symptoms of it. You probably can't treat it with home remedies, you will need a prescription, but they work great.
Reply:You actually could have dry skin, and using acne medicine could dry it out even worse. Even if you have never had dry skin before, your skin can change, especially as you get older. Some facial washes have alcohol in them, which will only dry your skin out worse. Most acne medicines have salicetic acid in them to dry out the acne, but unfortunately also dry out the skin around it.


I would suggest to stop using the acne medicine since you have pretty clear skin, and use a moisturizer that does not have mineral oil in it after washing your face.


I only know all this because I have dry skin myself, and until I started using a moisturizer daily and stopped using the acne medicine, I always had wind-burnt cheeks and nose.





If this doesn't help, try a dermatologist.
