WEIRD ACNE---NO INFORMATION FROM MD'S
by alishugabooga, Jul 17, 2008 05:36AM
I have suffered from acne my whole life----but a year ago I burned my face. I boiled hot water and placed my face over the steam, a little too close, Immediately after, I put nair on my face to remove facial hair. The chemicals and high steam temperature caused me to suffer a 2nd degree burn. It took about 6 months for the burns stop being gooey and i wore neosporin scar solution patches religiously. I now have these large areas of 2-3 cm wide dark spots, which are basically built up impurities. I can't explain it, but it's not puss or pimples. It's actually white sort of stringy puss that I can actually pull out of each pore (they are so deeply embedded that if I pull to hard, or squeeze the tweezer to hard, it cuts the puss and it retracts deeper into the poore. I've been to a dermatologist who was clueless and prescribed some cortozone product. I'm using Maderma, but i know that this stuff is in the pores and I don't know what kind of acne is this and how to get rid? ANY HELP?A

I recommend you re-post this in the dermatology forum as I only specialise in acneic skin and am not an expert on burns.
I would like to remind readers never to use hot water or soap immediately prior to, or following use of a hair removal product. Follow the instructions exactly including carrying out a small patch test to check for reactions. Do not apply any astringent product to the treated area for 48 hours.
