Under skin acne

BIH_2006 · 08-27-2007, 08:18 PM

Well..I had a thread before on uner-skin acne on the forehead. I had two pretty big spots. One of them has left..soon after I started the thread. I saw the white part come up..sqeezed it, and soon after it totally dried out. But this other one..I have had for over a month now and nothing. It looks the same as it did a month ago.

Any ideas?

You can go to a dermatologist and he or she can inject it with cortisone to help it go down. And while you are there perhaps you can set up a treatment plan for future problems. If you can't go to the doctors try over-the-counter cortisone cream and use a small amount just on the affected area and eventually it should go down.

over-the-counter? so I have to get a prescription?

for dermatologists..there is like a 3-4 month wait.

Hey again-
No over-the-counter means no prescription is necessary. Go to the medical section of a drug store where like the bandages/ointments etc....are located and get a cortisone cream or hydrocortisone, whatever is available. And still make an appointment with the dermatologist.
