I am 41 and have had butt acne all my life. It has been horrible & my self esteem has suffered bc of it. Nothing ever worked. I saw this video about 2 weeks ago & ordered a few of the things that you recommended & OMG! Its been about a week of me changing up my routine and I SWEAR I see a very big difference. I just wanted to say thank you, and share my story in case others can benefit from my experience.

Something that may help is only wearing natural fiber underwear (like cotton). Synthetic fabrics don't breathe and trap moisture down there, which can contribute to acne and infections.

Its also important to note that it could be a simple fix of switching out laundry detergents, alot of people use those scent beads scented detergents with harsh chemicals, then softeners, then dryer sheets that are scented. All those things can make you break out aswell and i feel like people over look that sometimes and think its hormonal when its just detergent

Can you do a video on medical grade skincare vs sephora/drugstore skincare options. I see some dermatologist be insistent that medical grade is the only way to go while others advocate the opposite. I think lots would be interested in your opinion.

yall these aren’t the tips from the video but i still wanna say this.

Thank you for this video Dr. Elli, I love them. New subscriber here! I saw your video in Mixed Makeup, I like your night time routine simple and straight to the point. You mention that you use in the morning vitamin C and Azelaic Acid, could you please tell me how do you apply them? You apply the vitamin C on damp or dry skin? Then, do you wait to apply the Azelaic Acid (I suppose is Azelaic Acid 15% gel -Prescription) and do you use moisturizer or apply the sunscreen on top? Thanks again for your response.

A few years back I went to go see a dermatologist that prescribed me it me a medication and also recommend me to use benzo peroxide which works extrementally well! However I am seeing a little bit of problems with with body acne . I'm definitely gonna look up the products you recommended but the number one Ingredient that I do like is the benzo peroxide! Thanks for the advice on the other products I will definitely be looking into!

I had butt acne for like 10 years and then I discovered cera ve salicylic acid cream and after applying twice a day for only 2 weeks it was gone... if I stop using it though it comes back. But for me, it's the only thing that really works and completely clear my skin

Just what i was looking for!

I once heard that it isn't a bacteria issue but instead a diet/toxicity issue because if our skin was impacted by bacteria, the acne wouldn't be shown in patterns ( like both cheeks, no forehead, etc) as it does

Would you recommend the same products and regimen for KP bumps on the arms? Is that different then folliculitis?

Hi i have hydradénite suppurée and i have struggled for 8 years now, i was on accutane for 2 years, my face acne went away and on my chest too. My back acne has never really went away, i have to hide my scares on my chest and my back, usually break outs happen around my period, i have tried so many tricks, products for acne, tie my hair up after showering, shower every day, never wear the same clothes, drink a lot of water i have a good hygiene, i will soon see a dermatologist in 5 months finally after seeing my doctor once again because my skin disease has come back after changing deodorant, under my armpits, i couldn’t put my arms up since it was hurting too much. Acne is normal, products can help but know this: sometimes you need a little push from a professional to help you with severe acne . I will try those products meanwhile though

This is a wonderful video, thank you, dr. Is there any other retinoid or equivalent available over the counter in Canada, as far as you know?

I’ve had really good luck using Cera Ve salicylic acid cream- I put it on after I shower and it’s really helped keep my body away. I struggle with dry skin and the cream helps with that too (the benzoyl peroxide worked for me in the past as well, it’s just a bit more drying, I find).

I live in Europe and here benzoyl peroxide is sold only by prescription, and even considering this, you can't find it in the form of a cleanser, there're only a few options available in pharmacies in the form of a leave-on gel. I tried to use it as a leave-on but it gives me very bad irritation even on my body and even at 2.5 percent. I'm thinking about trying to use it as a wash-off: applying it for a couple of minutes before taking shower and then washing it off with a regular shower gel. What do you think about such a method? Can it be effective and are there any potential downsides?

so we can use benzoyl peroxide (panoxyl 10%) with adapoline (differin) after the shower? or would that be too much for the skin?

I have leg folliculitis, mainly on my knees for crossing my legs but also in winter time when I use warming layers. I was wondering if laser hair removal would help solve the problem since I have olive skin so I tend to get dark marks. P.S. I which I lived in The US and be your patient 😉

LOVED ITTTT!!!

Is the chemistry brand retin-oil good for butt hyperpigmentation after acne/folliculitis scars? I’ve been using it a few times a week

@@user-ym7bc9dy9i I’ve had mixed results! I ended up buying 110 Medco benzoyl 10% bar of soap on Amazon for pretty cheap and the CeraVe SA cream. The soap is really been helpful in reducing breakouts but it has stained some of my towels and made the skin on my fingers peel (I’ve started wearing a shower glove and that’s helped). I also recommend using the Stidex pads (max strength) from the dollar store whenever you sweat during the day. I’ve noticed a big difference after using those. My acne is so much better after using these products but beware you do have to be diligent in using them and I still have occasional pimples but it’s nowhere near as bad!

What would you suggest if you’re allergic to benzoyl peroxide? I’ve tried to use it for my hormonal acne caused from my IUD, but I breakout in hives and get very itchy and a little swollen.

I’ve visited many many dermatologist regarding my hyperpigmentation(extremely mild, almost non visible freckles). Are freckles the same as hyperpigmentation? Are they treated equally? So sorry for all the answers 🤗❤️🇨🇭

if i use panoxyl before shhower and adapalene after shower, when do i use salicylic acid?

In Europe it‘s really hard to get any of the recommended as for example both Benzoyl as well as Adapalene is not allowed without doctor prescription. Do you see any reason in that? My back acne is not severe but I wish I could help myself with those products. The only available is Salicylic Acid.

yes all these ingredients work but i never know what body lotion to use afterwards because i use a salicylic acid wash but it obviously damaged my skin because my chest went super dry n flaky n very red but the lotion i would use would just break me out it would always develop a spot so *could anyone recommend a gentle and breakout prone body lotion* 🙏🙏

How many times should we use benzoyl peroxide cleaner? What to use after it? The retinoid serum? Glycolic acid serum? Niacinamide? Moisturizer? Or nothing. I need more clarification, please. What to do if it works on us and the acne disappears? Should we continue using it? Or only working on maintaining the results with normal body wash and a Moisturizer?

What about the use of ice therapy (ice pack) a few times a week?

Thanks!

You're saying it's important to get in the shower and wash off anytime you get sweaty in gym clothes, but then you say tight fitting clothing clogs your follicles up which causes acne. Water will just rinse over the surface of the skin and not exfoliate as far as I understand. Should you exfoliate in every post-sweat shower, even if it's not your "main" shower?

i definitely feel like i have folliculitis but the only thing is its not on an area where one would shave? its on my shoulders leading into my shoulder blades. but when i get them, its usually in batches of inflammed bumps which whenever they get popped, blood comes out. i will try to find treatments that is meant for folliculitis and see if that does anything. i’ve been trying BHA treatments but none seem to help it.
