HELP WITH ACNE!!

Maybe not the best pictures butttt I’ve been struggling for about 6 months or more with my acne. For years and years my face was fine. My chest has been breaking out but more in just like bumps than pimples. My neck has started breaking out which is something I’ve never dealt with. Some of my breakouts are itchy and a little painful but others not. I know this looks like hormonal acne but idk what to do anymore because nothing seems to be helping. Here is my routine that my dermatologist has me on in order.

Spironolactone 50mg once daily (will be moving up to 100mg)

Morning

- Cerave foaming facial cleanser

- Benzoyl peroxide wash every other morning

- Clyndamycin gel

- Cerave lotion

Night

- Cerave foaming facial cleanser

- Tretinoin (on days I don’t use benzoyl peroxide)

- Cerave lotion

I have been using all of these for almost a year. The tretinoin dries my face out and makes it flaky so I did stop using it for awhile. I’m just at a loss.

Acne can significantly impact self-esteem and emotional wellbeing, often leading individuals to seek various treatment methods. Hormonal acne, often characterized by breakouts on the chin, jawline, and neck, commonly affects women due to hormonal fluctuations. Understanding the root causes of acne can help in choosing the right treatment. It’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for persistent acne issues, as they can recommend effective medications and skincare routines tailored to individual needs. In addition to prescribed treatments, maintaining a consistent skincare routine is crucial. Gentle cleansers can help avoid irritation, while treatments like benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin are known to combat acne-causing bacteria. Moisturizers containing non-comedogenic ingredients, like ceramides in Cerave products, can hydrate the skin without clogging pores. Be patient, as results may take time, and consider lifestyle factors such as diet and stress management. Proper hydration, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and stress-reducing practices like yoga may also support clearer skin. Regular follow-ups with your dermatologist can ensure that the chosen regimen is effective and adjusted as needed.
