Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Khadiyja, I have the same problem! I finally went to see the doctor about it and she said that adult acne is a hormonal problem, as well as a bacterial infection and that you really need a prescription strength hydrogen peroxide cream to clear it up and an antibiotic to clear up the bacterial infection. I have stopped using bar soaps and wash rags, also use a fresh towel everytime you dry your face. I like to use " oil of olay " sensitive foaming face wash to keep my face clean. I would recommend that if you are using a handmade soap or cream that you test it for bacteria and ph. You could be getting or spreading it through the cream/soap. I'm sure you already know that soap by nature is antibacterial, but that if it is left to sit in a puddle of water....the suds in the water are actually a breeding ground for bacteria.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 It's devastating as an adult to have to deal with acne. I'm glad to offer my experiences so they can help.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 has had blotchy skin all her life. When she was an infant, her pediatrician said he saw it in people with Down's all the time. No treatment for it that I've heard of and nothing to be alarmed about. granny On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 2:01 PM, Kathy sen <northnr@...> wrote: > > > > > I have begun noticing some blotchiness on 's upper arms(the outer > part).
