What are some good remedies for spots, acne? Etc

Here’s me and my spots.

I keep getting them on my chin. What could it mean?

I always hear its hormonal. But that doesn’t really help me.

Is it true that eating lots of sugar or process food gives you spots

I’m not sure if I remember this correctly but I might have used hydrocortisone for my damn pimples.

I get less pimples now that I don’t have much access to junk food so I think it could be the case. Could be stress too.

Hydrocortisone is a steroid cream isn’t it?

Yes, I loved how it felt on my skin it gave me numbing or something like that.

A good face wash is handy. edit…that brand is discontinued but there’s other options.

Hydrocortisone is not a bad idea, either.

Yep I forget to wash twice a day sometimes. I should probably do that instead of once. Thankyou.

I had big problems with acne when I was 18. I was prescribed Isotretinoine (Roacutan) and my acne dissapeared completely

OK I never have heard of that one. Thankyou!

That needs to be prescribed by a dermatologist.

Yeah. I also took roacutane as a teenager. Does miracles.

For a mild case you could try tea tree oil @Zoe

Thanks @TheFountainPen yea that’s true. I’ll keep that one in mind. Actually my face wash has tea tree oil but maybe a pure would be more suitable

I’m 33 and I still get acne all over my back and shoulders. I don’t know why. I always try to wash my back the best I can whenever I take a shower but I still get acne on my back all the time.

I would try a non fragrance soap. There is a brand called simple soap, that’s what I used to use.

Accutane is the most effective treatment if you have cystic acne. It got rid of mine. It will dry you out like crazy though.
