anyone suffer from Adult Acne?

[Loophole]

Does anyone else here suffer from adult acne? My forehead has been breaking out so much more lately and I can't figure out why.

Maybe because it's starting to get hot again here in arizona and I'm sweating more. Maybe?



What do you guys do to help your acne? any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had some acne as a teen, then at around 24, it came back with a mission it seemed. I have tried everything. My doctor put me through five different antibiotics (oral and topical). He finally gave up and sent me to the Dermatologist.
The Dermatologist had me go through 3 different treatments and I finally quit the last one (Retin-A) after about 6 months and decided not to go back to him.
I had surgery shortly after, and went for like 3 days without being able to even get out of bed to wash my face, and miraculously it had cleared quite a bit in that time.
Now I do exactly that. I will wash it with just plain water at room temp for 2 or 3 days, then I will stem my face and get my pores opened up. I scrub it gently with anti-bacterial soap (I use dial) to get the pores clean deep-down, then rinse with cool water to get them closed while they were extremely clean.
I know different things work for different people, but I strongly suggest anyone try this. Think about all the things that you put into your body by taking pills or slathering on next-to-poison and having it absorb into your body. I am starting to learn as I get older, that most of the best things in life are natural. I know that anti-bacterial soap Isn't natural, but it's not as un-natural as all those chemicals. Good luck, I feel your pain and my heart goes out to everyone who has to deal with this.

I can't figure out why I break out but I guess it's hormones plus hot sweaty weather. I've been using Neutrogena oil free acne wash. It's supposed to prevent the skin from breaking out in the first place. It takes the oils off your skin. Just curious if this helps anyone.

I had bad acne as a teen...it always focused on my chin...now im 24 and it still does. Not as bad but when it comes it seems like a huge outbreak!

Around 19-20 i started to get acne on my upper back! I still get it! The only way I have gotten around it is tanning beds it helps keep the acne at bay!

I dont know if it ever goes away.
