Medication related skin problems

by

No matter what I do it seems that my skin is getting worse and worse. I don’t know why it’s causing me so many problems lately.

I really think it’s the medications that I’ve been taking since last summer for my migraines. The medication somehow prevents me from sweating and that seems to really interfere with my skins health … it’s like my skin actually needs to sweat a little bit to stay healthy and clear. I guess I need to do some more research on how to get rid of pimples at least when on this particular medication.

Do you ever have medication related skin problems? What did you do about it?

Having problems with my skin again ..

by

I’ve been having some problems with my skin again. I really shouldn’t since it’s winter and the air is dry, but I’m breaking out a little bit and it’s bothering me.

I think it’s happening because of a medication that I’m taking for my migraines. The medication actually makes me sweat less and while you’d think this would actually help with skin problems it seems to work the opposite way … on my skin anyway!

I recently came across a site located at www.acneskincare.org and I think I’m going to spend some time late this evening checking it out. Maybe I’ll get a few ideas from it that will help my particular situation. Perhaps- in the meantime, some of you will also have some ideas for me too?

Skin problems might be an allergy?

by

I don’t know why I’m having skin troubles. I don’t know if it’s because it’s cooler here now and the furnace is on a lot so the air is dry and that’s irritating my skin, or if something else is causing problems.

I did start some new medications in the last few months – perhaps they are wrecking havoc with my skin? Either way … I need to find some way to control my skin problem. My skin will be ok for a few days or so and then I’ll break out on one side of my face or in a particular area. Right now it’s at the corner of my right jaw just in front of my ear. It’s itchy – like hives or an allergic reaction, but I know it will turn into blemishes. Strange eh?

I’d like to find some kind of natural acne treatment since my skin is so sensitive to chemicals.

Does your skin react oddly like mine has been? I’m really starting to think that my skin problems start as allergic reactions and then turn into blemishes. Perhaps I should be watching what I eat and drink as well.

Steps to clearer skin

by

Yesterday I told you about how my skin has been suddenly breaking out in blemishes. It’s been happening for at least a month, maybe longer.

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out why I’m suddenly having a skin problem when I’ve never really had an issue before and the only logical reason I can come up with is that it must be either hormonal acne or a side effect of my new medication.

I figure it’s one of the two. Either way … as of last night I started a new skin care regime. Every week I’m going to do a deep skin cleaning, and each day I’ll use gentle but thorough cleansing products on my skin and follow them up with moisturizers.

I drink lots of water and eat fairly healthy so I don’t think there’s much I can change diet wise that will help. Any other suggestions?

Tingly fresh skin

by

I’m having a night in – it seems. My husband is out of town tonight. Well – he should be home any minute, but who knows.

To keep myself occupied, and to take care of my skin I decided to give myself an at home facial. I gave myself a facial massage, and then I followed it up with a facial mask for 15 minutes.

Ah – that feels good. My skin is tingly and fresh. Oh and squeaky clean. Then, to top things off I followed my facial up with a good moisturizer. Now as I wait for my husband to get home I’m reading about wrinkle creams and treatments. If you want you can learn more by reading this site too.

Now if my husband ever gets here we can watch Glee! I hope he’s not too tired when he gets home.
