Acne cure?

[Bulldog_10]

Alright bros this is probably gonna sound stupid, but I can't find anything wrong with it.

OK, as we all know, acne is caused by hormone fluctuations and can be cured by drying up the oily skin that it causes.

Well I just had a thought. If you've worked construction, carpentry, or anything else when you have to mix cement, you know that if you don't wear gloves your hands have never been drier. I worked carpentry over the summer and mixed cement just about every day, and never wore gloves. By the end of the summer I couldn't even stretch out my fingers or they would start cracking and bleeding.

So do you think if you rubbed cement on your back it would work for drying it up and preventing acne? Any docs, especially derms, have any opinions? Obviously you would not use this on your face, but it seems ok for your back.

I'm goin back to school right now, so I'm gonna leave this post up until I get there, which will be about 2-3 hours. If I come back and there are a million flames, I'm gonna kill it.

So here's your chance boys....FLAME AWAY!

really dry skin can also have acne. If you put rubbing alcohol on it, it can become worse. The natural oils in your body over compensate for the dryness and more acne can occur. Putting lotion on your body will actually help. I put lotion on my back, arms and face and maybe it is genetics but I have never had a problem with acne.

this is very true. not only will skin thats too dry probably cause more acne, but it can lead to other things like rosacea which arent fun either.
