Adult female acne

I'm hard at work researching everything there is to know about adult female acne for the new Acne.org pages. There are so many unanswered questions about this growing demographic of acne sufferers. I look forward to hearing your questions and comments on the subject. http://www.acne.org/women-and-acne.html

I was on birth control pills for 13 years and quit taking them Nov. 2010. And yes, my skin has broken out a good bit over the last year, which is why I find myself watching videos like this one. While my skin was clearer, the other risks associated with bc pills made them too worrisome of a gamble for me to stay on past age 30. Ortho Tricyclen and Microgestin both resulted in fewer breakouts than I have this year (though Depo Provera shots for 1 year produced awful breakouts and weight gain).

Try googling it there's lots of info out there. It may not cure everyone's acne but it will certainly reduce it and work with The Regimen so you have less breakouts if any.

The age old proof that diet does not affect acne was ONE study feeding chocolate bars to test patients Not feeding them a healthy diet and adding junk food to see if it caused acne Bad test don't believe the lie

A major reason women especially have so much acne, that you did not address was consumption of a lot of processed dairy products. Women are told over and over that dairy helps them lose weight and prevents osteoporosis, but these studies are done by the dairy industry and are so minuscule in results, the advertising blows it out of proportion. Try an elimination diet, removing ALL dairy products especially cheeses for a few weeks and you will have less mucus infections inflammation and less acne

I read that severe acne can be made worse by brushing your teeth using fluoride toothpaste. I can't imagine how bad it is to put directly on the skin in that case. I'd suggest going to a holistic store or something to find a non-fluoride toothpaste to see if that helps.

Question: I ordered the "regimen" a few weeks ago & like to believe I am seeing results. But I'm also using Aloe Vera, I put all over my face in the middle of the day & about 7-10 hours later from when I used Acne.org products in the morning.

I use to apply Toothpaste (Crest w Scoop) as a in the middle of the day wash B4 I started using Acne.org products & feel I saw results.

My face is actually clearing up BUT I'm seeing zits...

Is it the ALOE VERA & should I go back to using Toothpaste?

bc helps alot with acne, well at least it did for me, but i've heard that for others it makes their skin worse. drinking a lot of water helps, which is easy if you carry a water bottle around with you. eating healthily helps too. also, there are negative effects of bc. i started to get migraines with aura and had to stop taking it, but i sort of wanted to stop anyways when i heard that it can cause breast cancer. bc also can cause depression because it messes with serotonin.

@lovemypuppys i went on b/c when i was 14, and that was when i first encountered cystic acne. it was terrible. i went off it FAST. i'm asian.

I am in my early 30's and suffer from cystic acne. I had been on B/C for at least 10 years when I decided to stop them. At first, I started to break out really bad but about a year and a half later I am doing better. I do really think my acne is hormonal. I had wonderful skin with NO acne as a teen and have horrible cystic acne as an adult which leads me to believe that maybe it was the birth control that screwed up my skin as it was when I started to take it is when my cystic acne came.

I went on Diane-35 and I found it did clear up my skin. Although, I gained a ton of weight (I'm not sure if it was from the BC necessarily or from the fact that it increased my appetite and I just didn't notice). After I went off it my acne got so much worse... I broke out in places I've never broken out before. I'm going to see my doctor this Thursday... now I'm not sure what to do. But I think it is a combination of both internal and external problems.
