Acne and Seb Derm flares and problems

[CeliaRayne]

Age 23, pale comlexion, sensitive and dry skin.
I have had the diagnosis of seb derm for about two years now and have mild to moderate acne, mainly on the forehead region. I have had problems from impetigo to oozing sores on my forehead. Dermatologist I have been seeing ( I switched to a new dermatologist thinking there would be a difference) have given me several facial washes and ointments. This has given me more relief for the seb derm that covered all my t-zone and nose to small little manageable patches. However, the acne flares up on its own and takes forever to heal. I stay hydrated and take very good care of my skin. I'm at a point I do not know what else to do to make my acne stay away longer and have less flares of acne on my forehead in the same spots.

I suggest you apply some aloe vera to your acne to soothe it. I also suggest that you stay away from physical scrubs as they can make acne worse by spreading bacteria as well as further irritating the affected skin. There is a cream out there called, Effaclar Duo, it works very well, without drying the skin out.

     Please try a Zinc supplement.  Sometimes acne is a symptom of what's happening on the inside.  Zinc is particularly good for the skin.  Also, you might try taking Probiotics and Enzymes to help your digestion.  
     You might also want to see a rheumatologist to determine if the rash on your face is truly acne or discoid Lupus.
    Wishing you the best
