I have heard of that before.  Like your body breaks out from your partners secretions.  I think your doctor or dermatologist would be a good place to start because the web didn't bring anything up but it was on news and I saw it.

Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland).\n\nThe condition is common in puberty as a result of an abnormal response to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The response for most people diminishes over time and acne thus tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches their early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take for it to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer from acne decades later, into their thirties and forties and even beyond. Acne affects a large percentage of humans at some stage in life.\n\nThe term acne comes from a corruption of the Greek άκμή (acme in the sense of a skin eruption) in the writings of Aëtius Amidenus.\n\nExactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary. Several factors are known to be linked to acne:\n\nHormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles \nStress, through increased output of hormones from the adrenal (stress) glands \nHyperactive sebaceous glands, secondary to the three hormone sources above \nAccumulation of dead skin cells \nBacteria in the pores, to which the body becomes 'allergic' \nSkin irritation or scratching of any sort will activate inflammation \nUse of anabolic steroids \nAny medication containing halogens (iodides, chlorides, bromides), lithium, barbiturates, or androgens \nExposure to high levels of chlorine compounds, particularly chlorinated dioxins, can cause severe, long-lasting acne, known as Chloracne \n\n\nYou can check out for the possible cures of acne at the given site \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne

Go to a dermatologist. It sounds like you have cystic acne and combination -sensitive skin. You cannot use the products that treat acne in the same way that a non-sensitive skinned person can. A dermatologist will help you figure out what to do and what products to choose.

Don't rely on acne cream and medication from the store. Your acne sounds very severe, and you need to get to a dermatologist. He or she can treat your acne more effectively with stronger prescription creams and medication. Please go as soon as you can to prevent anymore scarring.

Unfortunatley pimples caused by stress there is no cure for. I break out from stress all the time and they are painful and suck ass. Don't listen to people tell you about toothpaste and eye drops cause it wont work. You will keep getting zits when you are stressed out. For now use Biore Ice Wash, Biore heated mask and try Noxema Pads (like stridex but better). Do not pop your pimples they will scar. Take a hot wet rag and hold it down on your pimple till all the pussy crap surfaces and when it breaks (on it's own) put some peroxide in it. I promise this will work. And BTW you are WAY to young to be that stressed out, a locking up jaw is a very bad sign, ask your parents to take you to your doctor and tell him about the stress and jaw thing. He can prescribe you zanex and it will help you with the stress and your skin. Good luck to you - feel better

Sounds like cysts.  They are like enormous pimples that are very painful.  Use a warm, damp compress on them 2-4 times per day to ease the pain and inflamation, and see a doctor as soon as you can.  Best to you.

Sounds like a condition called Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  It most commonly occurs during times of anxiety, stress or when your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated i.e. fight or flight or adrenaline rushes. You can treat this condition with topicals such as aluminum chloride (Drysol) or antiperspirants.  There are other treatments which include orals, injections and even surgery.  A dermatologist would be able to help you with this situation.  Best of luck!

Taking birth control and then getting off birth control does effect the chemical balance in your body.  Stress will also cause your skin to break out.  Also as you get older you skin does change.

Yes, and depression can also cause stress.  It's kind of like the chicken and the egg question.  If your depression goes on for any length of time maybe you better see your doctor before it gets out of hand.

Be care to whom you listen. It is not caused by chocolate candy or tomato's or anything you eat. Washing our face a hundred times a day just dries out your skin. It is caused by heredity\nand a bacteria, known as Propionibacterium acnes, is a normal inhabitant of the skin. It uses sebum as a nutrient for growth, therefore increases in follicles during puberty. People with acne have more Propionibacterium acnes in their follicles than people without acne. The presence of bacteria attracts white blood cells to the follicle. These white blood cells produce an enzyme that damages the wall of the follicle, allowing the contents of the follicle to enter the dermis. This process causes an inflammatory response seen as papules (red bumps), pustules, and nodules. The bacteria also cause the formation of free fatty acids, which are irritants, increasing the inflammatory process in the follicle.\n\nThe washes you see really do little if anything but you can try Accutane (keeping in mind there have been problems with it-mental problems and suicide).\n\nAntibiotics work by several mechanisms. The most important is the decrease in the number of bacteria in and around the follicle. Antibiotics also work by reducing the irritating chemicals produced by white blood cells. \n\nFinally, antibiotics reduce the concentration of free fatty acids in the sebum, also reducing the inflammatory response. The most frequently used antibiotics for acne are : Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Minocycline, Doxycycline and Clindamycin.\n\nThe only other thing "I" would recommend is Retin-A and it is not going to do what you want it to do. However, trust me when I say these washes do and can not work!\n\nThe best thing you could do is see a dermatologist. God bless you and the Southern People.

Acne or Pimples\n\nThis factsheet is for people who have acne.\n\nAcne is a skin condition that causes spots. Most people affected by acne are aged between 12 and 25. However, men and women in their 30s and 40s can also suffer. There are many treatments available to help deal with the condition.\n\nWhat is acne?\nAcne is a skin condition that typically causes one or more of the following:\n\nblackheads (comedones) \nwhiteheads\nred or yellow spots\ngreasy skin\nscars\nAcne typically affects the skin of the face, back, neck, chest and arms and the severity of the condition can vary. \n\nAcne affects people of all skin colours. The processes that cause acne are exactly the same in people with black or brown skin but the impact is altered by the skin pigmentation.\n\nAcne is very common and affects about 80 in 100 people aged 11-30 at some time.\n\nThe skin\nThe surface of the skin has lots of small sebaceous glands just below the surface. These glands make an oily substance called sebum that keeps the skin smooth and supple.\n\nTiny pores (holes in the skin) allow the sebum to come to the skin surface. Hairs also grow through these pores.\n\n\nIllustration showing the structure of skin\n\nWhat causes acne?\nAcne is caused by the overactivity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin.\n\nThe sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women.\n\nTestosterone in people prone to acne triggers the sebaceous glands to produce an excess of sebum. At the same time, the dead skin cells lining the openings of the hair follicles (the tubes that hold the hair) are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.\n\nThese two effects combined cause a build-up of oil in the hair follicles. This causes blackheads and whiteheads to form. \n\nFor some people, their acne does not progress beyond this stage.\n\nHowever in other people, the build-up of oil in the hair follicles creates an ideal environment for a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes to grow.\n\nThese bacteria normally live harmlessly on your skin but when this ideal environment is created, they grow. They feed off the sebum and produce substances that cause a response from your body's immune system. This inflames the skin and creates the redness associated with spots.\n\nIn more severe 'inflammatory acne', cysts develop beneath the skin's surface. These acne cysts can rupture, spreading the infection into nearby skin tissue. This can result in scarring.

You don't sound like you have a psychological problem, but it may help you to see a psychologist to discuss the anxiety you're feeling and try to figure out why these things may be occuring.\n\nYou MAY be a sleepwalker, but some people do scratch themselves in their sleep - it is a well known fact that people suffering acne will often scratch their pimples when they're fast asleep.\n\nYour local doctor would probably be a good place to start  - they can recommend someone who specialises in sleep associated disorders and a good psychologist.
