In reply to acne with Parnate, posted by Maxime on November 28, 2009, at 10:52:36
> Parnate is giving me acne. Little red bumps that don't come to a head. It's on my back, chest and face. It is not attractive.

I am ugly enough without having this on my face.Maxine, I didn't think of tetracycline. That's a good idea. From personal experience, exfoliation can make acne worse, (though other swear by it), as can too much scrubbing or topicals that dry it out (for me, tea tree oil was too strong over the long term). If you current treatments aren't working, I suggest adding cooling astringent gel-type masks. There is a great homeopathic face gel--jeez, I can see the tube but forget the name--that is very soothing. Small red bumps seem to me to be a heat / liver situation. (The little I know about chinese med.)
Good luck Sweetie--you're beautiful to us--and sharp as a whip to boot!
