What makes acne worse?

1. DIET? We no longer believe that diet contributes to Acne in most people. Avoiding colas, chocolate, greasy foods and dairy products probably will not help your Acne.

2. IODIDE OR KELP? These minerals are in many vitamin-mineral supplements (Centrum, Theragran M, Unicap, One a Day with Minerals, and others). They can make Acne more inflamed (more red, more swollen, and more pustular). Amounts you consume in a regular diet don’t cause problems. If you are taking a vitamin, check the ingredients on the side.
Suggested Product: One a Day for Women, Stress Tabs

3. OIL BASED CONSMETICS AND OIL-CONTAINING MOISTURIZERS can make Acne worse. Water-based cosmetics contain some oil, but generally not enough to cause problems.
Suggested Moisturizers: Cataphil Daily Moisturizer SPF15, Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
Suggested Makeup: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation, Neutrogena Skiin Clearing Foundation
No Noxzema, No Cocoa Butter

4. SCRUBBING Buff-Puffs (abrasive sponges), scrubs with particles, and vigorous scrubbing with wash cloths can all make Acne worse.
Suggested Product: Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar, Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, or Dove Soap for Sensitive Skin

5. HAIR CARE PRODUCTS – some shampoos (especially with Chamomile), conditioners (especially Jojoba), hair spays, mousse, and styling gels can make Acne worse.
Suggested product: Clinique Haircare Dramatic Moisture Conditioner

6. SQUEEZING – Usually this will aggravate the problem and may produce permanent scars with otherwise might not occur.


我个人的情况：
痘痘不是十分严重，但是时不时的会长出新的出来。对新长出来我惯用的办法也是用工具立刻去除。记住工具要用酒精消毒，去除后立刻用有收敛镇定作用的TONER涂到脸上，其收缩毛孔的作用。长期经验，我觉得这个办法比较好。
我上周去看皮肤科专家门诊的原因是怎么来减少新痘痘的产生，医生给了我上面写的。另外给了我处方：
早晨：
1. 用Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser 洗脸；(you can get it from CVS);
2. 用我目前的 moisture 护肤；
3. 紧接着用 适量的 Cataphil Daily Moisturizer SPF15 涂在脸上；

晚上：
1. 用Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser 洗脸；(you can get it from CVS);
2. 用我目前的 moisture 护肤；
3. 用一种叫 define 的cream , 取黄豆大小涂在脸上；(具体名字我记不清楚了，如果谁想知道，给我发到信箱里，或者我今天晚上看好名字后再改我的贴子)

医生叫我六个礼拜后再来检查，一般六个月后有明显的效果。再就是按照上面我贴的检查自己平时吃的维生素十分包括以上提到的成份，如果有，建议更换自己吃的维生素。注意饮食，保持大便通畅，按照以上贴的来减少预防新痘痘的复发。

如果你有家庭医生，就先让家庭医生看
如果你的医疗plan是PPO, 也可以自己选一个dermotologist看，就是皮肤专科医生
