I am at my wits end

by sockman, Oct 30, 2008 11:37AM
Hello I am a 19 year old white male in Edmonton Alberta.Starting a year ago i started to get acne. I know thats normal, but alnog with the acne, my face began to burn like a sun burn. now, a year later, not a moment goes by when my face does not burn. Although it burns and is red all the time, certian triggers make it worse. laughing, eating watching tv, heat, meeting new people. Sometimes it will just burn for no reason. i have gone to numerous doctors and dermatologists but no on knows whats wrong. alnog with this, my acne just keeps getting worse. every time i use a cream for the acne, my skin burns, and if i let of with the treatment, my acne gets worse. Please if you have anything thing that may help contact me.

Hi. You may have rosacea co-existing with acne vulgaris.
If you cannot tolerate topical acne gels, ask your doctor for a course of oral oxytetracycline. This is an antibiotic which will help treat both acne and rosacea.
Use a bland cleanser indicated for facial redness. I like Rosaliac by La Roche-Posay, Redness Relief by Eucerin and Redness Solutions by Clinique.
Eloise.
