Help, wk 5, major acne break out

Go easy on the benzoyl peroxide if you can... it's been linked to cancer and premature aging and has been moved from category I (safe) to category III (unknown) by the FDA.

Accutane is all that works for me bro.. And I've tried everything

I always suggest ACCUTANE as last ditch efforts. Powerful drug that needs to be used with caution.

Acne is an infection in the pores. They are just like little abscesses, that's white stuff is puss. The infection is cause by your bodies reaction to the bacteria that eats the sebum, basically an oily wax produced by the pores. I have used wintergreen rubbing alcohol with great effect. The alcohol is a solvent and it dissolves the sebum so it can be washed away. The alcohol is also a good antibiotic that kills the bacteria that causes the infections. SO wintergreen rubbing alcohol attacks the problem from two areas. I use it as an after shave and I put it on a back brush in the shower of acne on the back. Works great and doesn't harm your liver like orals acne drugs do. And did I mention it's cheap.

Aveeno kicks ass. I had a breakout on shoulders and chest and used some of thier blackhead scrub (5% salicylic acid too). Worked great in combination with 10% Benzoperoxide (clearasil invisible ance cream) -- Give this combo a try.. it works for me!
