I'm a guy with lots of acne scar. Heard make-up is like only choice.?

Sup people. Well, i'm tired of waiting for my acne and acne scars to go. I used to go to skin care (too expensive), but my acne is being a douche and my acne scar is just gay.





I saw in the interenet that make-up is the only choice. Can any you girls or guys tell me what to buy and where to buy guys' make-up for acne scar and something that won't worsen the acne condition.





Yes, I'm a guy. It's embarrassing to buy make-up so I need help. I had acne for 5 years (extreme acne no joke man).

Hi,


Acne is due to over activity and plugging of the oil glands.





Pl.try Following Tips and traement


Care of acne





Good skin care can keep acne under control and at a mild level.


Wash the skin twice a day using a mild soap, especially after exercise. Avoid scrubbing the skin. Hard scrubbing of the skin is harmful because it irritates the openings of the oil glands and can cause them to be more tightly closed.


Avoid putting any oily or greasy substances on the face. Oily and greasy substances make acne worse by blocking oil glands. If unavoidable, use water-based cover-up cosmetics, and wash them off at bedtime.


Shampoo the hair daily. Avoid hair tonics or hair creams especially greasy ones. These substances spread to the face and aggravate the acne.


Avoid picking blackheads as this delays healing. In general, it is better not to "pop" pimples.


Exercise regularly and keep fit.


Don't stop the acne medicine too soon. It may take up to 8 weeks for a good response.








The Treatment








Many doctors seem tempted to use as many as five or six treatments. Most acne can be treated effectively with two drugs, or at most three, at any one time. Failure to respond to a regimen within four to eight weeks should prompt a substantial change in drugs, not merely the addition of another product.





Tretinoin, isotretinoin, adapalene, and tazarotene are topical retinoids which, if applied daily, inhibit formation of comedones and usually clear even severe comedonal acne within a few months. The only major drawback is irritation, which is greatest after a few weeks, but the irritation usually requires no more than simple moisturising. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with modest antibacterial and comedolytic effects. It is the least irritating preparation. The side effects: in dark skinned patients, inflammation results in hyperpigmentation, which could otherwise remain for weeks or months.





Usually, two drugs are prescribed an antibacterial and a comedolytic. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5-10% is extremely effective against this type of acnes. Its major disadvantage is irritation, which can be minimised by using lower concentrations in a cream vehicle. Topical erythromycin and clindamycin are available as alcoholic solutions, lotions, creams, and gels, all of which are about equally effective. A combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide in gel form is superior to a topical antibiotic alone. Azelaic acid 20% cream is also an effective alternative. Failure to respond to topical treatment within four to eight weeks should automatically prompt a change in treatment. Other options for resistant P acnes include oral antibiotics and isotretinoin.





Solutions for acne that is resistant to treatment:





Investigate compliance


Increase frequency of topical treatment


Begin or increase oral antibiotic dosage


Search for hormonal derangement


Begin oral isotretinoin therapy





Oral treatment:





Acne that is resistant to topical treatment requires oral antibiotics. Many of the antibiotics useful in acne also have an anti-inflammatory activity, which is nearly as important as their effect on the P acnes itself. Oral erythromycin used to be a common treatment for acne, but the rise of resistance has greatly reduced its utility. It is necessary to begin the treatment with doxycycline or minocylcine. Acquired resistance to minocycline and doxycycline is less common than to erythromycin but is still a concern, and use of these drugs should be limited to those patients who truly need them. Patients are instructed to take the drug with food this minimises stomach complaints and maximises compliance. If minocycline or doxycycline cannot be used, alternatives include co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin. Risk of acquiring resistance to these drugs after long-term use has not been studied, but the use of these drugs should be minimised. In general, cephalosporins and penicillins are not very effective in treating acne. The increased cost of some of these newer drugs may make using isotretinoin an attractive option in the long-term treatment.





Hormonal treatment:





It is wrong to assume that any woman with acne have a hormonal derangement. In fact, androgen levels do not correlate with acne severity among people with acne. Acne resistant to treatment, especially in a woman with irregular menses, should be investigated. Measurements of total and free testosterone as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate. If these levels are raised, four approaches may be taken: suppression with low dose oral corticosteroid, oral contraception, cyproterone acetate or spironolactone.





Isotretinoin revolutionised the treatment of severe acne. It is used in case of severe nodular acne, but it is commonly used for severe acne that is resistant to oral antibiotics as well. Patients should be monitored routinely.

I would at least consult a dermatologist. They can fade scars with lasers. I think if you wore makeup, people could tell. That would be horribly embarassing, wouldn't it? IF you are determined to wear makeup, go for that natural mineral stuff. It's not as obvious and it's not bad for your skin, so it won't make your acne worse. Good luck.
Reply:Well, if it's a problem with acne then I would recommend seeing a doctor. Prescribed antiobiotics helped to reduce my acne alot!





About the scars, another option would be laser. But I heard it's pretty expensive. I usually use Ettiusan's concealer to cover up my acne scars. They have a range meant for acne prone skin. Hope it helps! :)

Reply:Try Zenmed products as it's for all skin types. This is the best product to heal any scar marks, acne and to give the skin a crystal clear texture, and supple feel. It also helps to diminish blemishes on my face overnight. Zenmed products is relatively expensive but it is definitely worth the price.
