Rihanna M asked:

I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 14 years (I’m 22 now), and I think my acne is cause of this. I started to break out around 11 years old, and haven’t stopped since. I break out every day with pustles, white heads, nodules. But I never had blackheads EVER! I’ve tried everything from Accutane to Proactiv and nothing has worked, causing me to think that my acne is a cause of this incurrable condition. I’ve also had my hormone levels tested, and they are normal. I just don’t understand how diabetes can cause acne. My doctors don’t believe that it could, but I’ve read in diabetic forums that it can, but they never offer an explanation as to why. If anyone can shed some light on this, please let me know how type 1 diabetes causes acne and how to treat the acne.

Now I have sensitive skin. And I have somewhat severe acne, and all bumps are small though. I went to dermy on Monday. So I have been on this medicine almost 4 days and it is burning. Like a sunburn I suppose. Now, I use benzac wash 5%, Cleocin in the morning and differin gel in the evening as well as take antibiotics-cephalexin twice a day. My face is peeling a little, and I had this reaction before to proactiv-which didnt work for me at all. This is showing me some real results. I mean drastic, so what should I do about the burning. Should I skip a day, or skip/substitute one of these items that might cause more irritation? Stick it out? I’ll call the derm Monday too to find out, but I am stuck for the weekend and I don’t want my skin to start breaking out again from not doing a good routine.

fuzzynaval asked:

My girlfriend has been taking this acne medicine called minocycline for the last couple months and she has been on birth control for the past year, but her mom loves to tell her stuff that will scare her into not doing “bad” things. Her mom told her the birth control only worked %50 because she was taking the other medicine too, is this true, because I dont see any link between skin medicine and yer baby maker, so I would think it would be just as effective. I just need to confirm this so she will feel better about the situation.

KB asked:

I was told to stay away from candy, cookies, pies and eat fruit as a healty alternative. The odd thing is I noticed pimple began to develop on my face. I realize fruits are not high in fat, but can the sugar in fruits such as red delicious apples, grapes, pears etc. cause acne ?
