MedHelp Member's Question

acne/ingrown hair

by u2bc47, Nov 06, 2009 04:35PM

I'm a 36yr old male. For the past several years I've had a problem with my face breaking out. At first, I thought it was just normal acne but i think it's something more. Everytime I get a bump (which is red and swollen) I end up using a needle to dig out an ingrown hair. I'm not sure what to do. If I dont get the hair out it swells up even worse then if I just get it out. Sometimes, my face will clear up some but never fully! I've tried EVERY kind of face wash, strips, and over the counter treatment there is. I even went to a dermatoligist who told me to quit using whitening tooth paste! I'm at the end of my rope becuase it seems to be getting worse. It's very embrassing since I go to work everyday. Please give any suggestions! I've yet again made an appointment with a different dermatologist.

thank you!
