Dealing with Whiteheads?
Whiteheads are little white bumps. that can't be squeezed very easily
out. I have a couple on my face. I actually used to use a pin to
get them out... any new ideas? I don't like them and it seems like the
easiest way is with a pin!
I'm new. I'd like to share my experience with seborrheic
keratosis-- brownish bumps that appear on the truck as we age. Benign
tumors that can take several forms. About 10 years ago
I noticed them on my back. rough brownish raised areas. and doctors
began to freeze them off. But as time passed they got out of control.
Finally. the doctor would say. there are just too many.
a new dermatologist said she'd had some luck using retina
(tretinoin) against seborrheic keratosis. so I tried that. I put retina
all over my back and stomach every night. It was amazing.
I was allergic to the retina. so I had a huge oozy weeping
mess. rather like poison oak. She gave me cortisone cream to tame that
down. and I'm allergic to cortisone. then another cream Elidal? And I
was allergic to that. But after about a month. and this is interesting.
my skin adjusted to the retina.
the retina seemed to bring forth hundreds of keratosis that
were not even previously visible. I scratched at them. so soon I infections all over myself.
When I tried using Neosporin or polysporin to help clear up the
infections. I turned out to be allergic to Neosporin and polysporin.
It took me several months of retina use to clear out all but the most
stubborn tumors. What a mess. Still. I felt much better. My stomach
was entirely clear. Several areas of my back were entirely clear.
Thousands of little and big tumors were gone. and there was no scarring.
Still. about a hundred were left. many along the backbone.
I am now on what I call my second round with the retina. trying to get
the most stubborn tumors out. This time I'm taking tetracycline and the
infections clear right up. Still it is a slow process.. and some of
these tumors are so deep and big and "woody" I am not confident that
I'll ever get them out. They've probably been there for 20 years.
I'm wondering if anyone else has tried to eradicate seborrheic
keratosis? Surely I am not the only one who has tried? would you please share any secrets of success or what didn't
work? My dream is to have nice creamy skin again on my back and
stomach.
