I found something really working for me

Haii evry1 in the group...Here goes my story ...I had severe acne problem abt 2 motnhs back..

It started with tiny small pimples kind...I have never been to a derm before..This time i felt that i shld go becoz it was getting a lot over my face...i went and he prescribed me Retin- A micro gel and BP...I tried it for a week...and my face was almost burnt....i cried & cried looking at my face....becoz i have nevr had any acne before....and the borns on my face was making it look more ugly...I went to the derm again...and he asked me to stop BP and cont with Retin A and prescribed Tetracycline....he asked me to cont for a month ...

I tired it for a month...and i again got many new ones...which were even more bigger..with the puss in it ..but i read a lot of threads in this board saying it wld initially come like that later on it will heal...but for me it was evr increasing...atleast a min of 4 -5 was popping out a day....again after a month went to him....he said he's changing tetracycline to Keflex....again i tried it...but this helped a bit...i tried this for a month.but after a while again i had lots coming over my face daily.....

There was nothing wrong with my diet...i was eating the usual stuff....i d'nt knw wht was the reason...then i stopped all the medicines....i tgth these medicines are not going to do any good for me....

I started taking herbal treatment...i d'nt knw if u pl have heard of neem leaves....its very good for any kind of allergies or acne...i started using that...within few days...thee were changes..it started getting better...i even used a little bit of turmeric its a very good antiseptic.....and in the nights...i am applying sandalwood powder.....which is a very good heal for acne......

at last i fnd something that was working for me...i tgth i wld share with u ppl...becoz i knw how it feels to have acne......this was a good heal for me....but i d'nt knw if it wld work for evry1...u might want to try it...

I read somewhere that sandalwood powder was good for acne scars. But what exactly is sandalwood powder and where could I find it?

Re: I found something really working for me

Could you explain how you use the herbal meds? Is it a powder? Do you mix with water and apply or take a pill of the stuff? And are you using all...neem,
sandalwood, turmeric...kinda smelly turmeric I wuld think.. so are you going around all day smelling like curry? Does it turn your pillow yellow?
Lots of questions but willing to try it to see if it works.
