Hi Unicorn, you have to be very careful with infections especially cellulitis.  Definitely having procedures done can flare up an existing infection that is laying dormant.  You shouldn't ever have work like that done unless the infection is 100% gone, and since you said it's recurrent, maybe you need a very strong antibiotic or possibly an Iv one.  The infection now may be recurring due to the work you have had done.  I know you said you have having work done to conform your skin tone, who is doing the work? Is it a surgeon or qualified doctor?  Are they aware of the infection problems you are having?

Neutogenia has a safe micro abrasion product that can exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells.I would use a small amount on an inconspicuous area to make sure you are not allergic.You also may need to change soap.Dial has a soap with Vit E. You may need to use a soap for sensitive skin.There are many good prescription products available.See a dermatologist.Acne is extremely devastating to young people and their self esteem.Don't scrub the skin too roughly.Use a soft washcloth and wash thoroughly and gently and rinse thoroughly.Get plenty of rest,drink alot of water and juice.Avoid stress and fried,fatty foods

I use to work in the beauty industry and I can tell you those topical products will only reduce the appearance, not get rid of it. Plus you have to continue using them. They are not a permanent fix. Cellulite has more to do with heredity and your skin than how fit you are. Even the most fit athletic people have body fat but it only shows on your skin if you have thin and/or fair skin (like me :)). Skin damage, like from the sun, only will make it worse so don't think you you can disguise it by making your skin darker with tanning beds or sun exposure. You will only damage your skin further and cause even worse problems like spider veins, freckles, or even a melanoma. My best advice is just eat healthy and exercise and embrace your body the way God created it. It is a miraculous machine that is perfection in itself even if those airbrushed fashion magazines try to convine you otherwise.

Yes, I have had this done on my cheeks. The procedure is called Lazar. About two treatments is all it will take. Any vein center or some spa's can do this for you. It is not that costly. Which is good cause insurance will not pay for it. The procedure feels kinda like being snapped with a rubber band. But it is very tolerable. \nGood Luck,\nFaith E

I actually just got the smoothbeam treatment and it worked pretty well.  I just started going to the dermatologist in upstate new york, where i live, and they put me on Keflex(an oral antibiotic), gave me Clindamycin pads, Gylcolic Acid pads for many body, and just recently, RetinA cream.  It all is starting to work, and my acne is really clearing up.  I just had the smoothbeam laser thingy, and it was pretty painless.  I saw some improvement from it a couple days after, and i still have a few more to go.  The V-Beam laser thing isn't approved by insurance, because its considered a "cosmetic" surgery, and i think im getting that done in late summer.  I guess it gets rid of all the redness on my face.  I suggest going to a better dermatologist, because I also struggle with acne.  But now that I'm seeing a dermatologist, my skin is starting to clear.  I heard accutane is really bad, because it dries out your whole body.  OH, i forgot, i also use a soap that is fragrance-free,dye-free, and free of anything else but gentle cleanser. That's what i use on my face when i wash it.  When you go to a GOOD dermatologist, make sure you follow EVERYTHING they tell you, don't skip anything.  Make sure you speak up and say that NOTHING has worked and be honest about it.  They'll know what to do, because acne doesn't last forever.  What you may have are acne scars, according to my dermatologist, and they'll stay red like that for a long time, unless you get some V-Beam treatments, which you should ask about.  The only problem is that, although the Smoothbeam treatments are payed for by insurance, the V-Beam treatments are not.  It's going to cost me about $200 per session,and ill need 2 sessions.  My dermatologist said that people usually see a 50-80 percent difference after the treatment, so it works really well.\n\nI hope this all helps, just try and go find a good dermatologist!!

It sounds like you have Rosacea to me.  I had this, and I tried everything too. \nUnfortunately, what I ended up finding to work is kind of expensive.\nI had laser skin treatment.  That was the only thing that cured it.\nI keep it going by using Murad Acne Complex...it has not come back and it has been 3 years.

You can go to the dermatologist, I'm pretty sure they're using laser technology for that now.

Likas Papaya and Biolink works better. Use Magic Cream for dark pigmentations and scars. It really works.

I have found that good old Noxema, in the blue tub has amazing anesthesia effects.  Have used it on HSV outbreaks as well as the old 'roids, with very satisfactory results.  Was given that hint by another customer in a store.

This is an old wife's tale, but it has worked for me in the past.  Get a gold ring and rub it on the stye.  It reacts to something in the metal.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

You could try microdermabrasion at a local spa place, or also a chemical peal. Hopefully this would help to remove the dead skin cells and your skin would regrow healthy. Also there is just dermabrasion where they freeze the skin and like sand it off.(this is more harsh) These are non-surgical ways. Check them out they may work. Hope you get rid of it.

Get a cream with hydroquinone or kojic acid -it will lighten them. Laser can get rid of them altogether.

hello, I also want the smoothbeam, and V-beam. I was wondering the same thing. What dermatologist are you going to? Where are you located? I've seen before and after pictures and I was amazed.

I've had various skin problems recently, and I found Unguentum and DiproBase helped the most. They're available in huge tubs, so you can really slap them on. A pharmacist should be able to advise if they are suitable for your skin (or alternative remedies if not)

I don't like to disappoint you but most of them even the most expensive and "guaranteeing" solution are not of help..Personally,I tried so many during the years,the result was at about zero..Anyway,removing or let's say improving the skin appearence with cellulite is POSSIBLE..First and major,the dietary regime and DRINKING of as much wated as possible( that way the cells are "washed" from within and the toxins are reduced)..No candies,sugar,cakes etc. Regular moderate excercising is required and really help special massages for the circulation as well as some aparatus,especially with stimulating muscle effect...Don't forget to take Vitamins!! Good luck!

CRAZEE,\n\nWhen I was a teenager I took the same med.  It worked GREAT!  Originally TCN was developed for venereal disease, but the side effect was that it helped clear up acne.  with my kids I'm concerned that they may have similar issues as they get older, but my wife  (Dr.) has told me many times that there are so many different meds available today for this condition.  What you can do is go to the ER and tell them that his acne is causing severe pain.  They may give him a scrip. for it, they may not.  It doesn't matter if you have insurance or not.  Or you can contact the original Doc that wrote the TCN scrip.  tell him whats going on with you now.  He/She may be able to set you up on a no interest payment plan and give you some sample meds for his condition?  It's worth a try.
