About two weeks ago, my face started breaking out with little tiny whiteheads. I would wake up to find 10 on my chin, and now it's gotten worst. I wake up to about 30 tiny white pus-filled pimples on my face everyday. Yes, gross, I KNOW! (I haven't changed any facial cleaners, makeup, detergent, hairspray, etc). My husband also noticed that my neck and chest constantly looked red and sunburned.I went to my primary care doctor who said it was probably a bacterial acne, and he prescribed Tetracyclicne antibiotics. But they gave me heart palpitations/flutters, so I only took them for 4 days.
I am not sure if I have adult acne (maybe hormonal), Rosacea, or an allergic rash! I have been searching online to self-dx but can't seem to find an exact answer. (And I can't see dermatologist for another two weeks!) I did get some relief from Hydro-Cortisone cream over the weekend, but I know I can't use that long term, so this morning I ran to Whole Foods and found this great homeopathic cream, derma e's Tea Tree and E Antiseptic Creme.
Immediately out of the store, I put some on my chest and neck...and WOW, it's so soothing and my skin is looking better already. The only downside is that for the first few minutes, I smelled like a medicine chest (ha).
Anyhow, I am pleased to find something "natural" and sure hope it continues to give me relief! I had not heard of this brand (Derma e) but definitely plan to buy more of their products.
