[@josiee0874]

@@maenad1231 You're right! In some cases, like mine, it has the opposite effect! By over-exfoliating the skin with frequent washes, I removed the natural oils too fast which lead to a painful overproduction of the oils below the skin. I've found washing the bedsheets more often helps.

Yes Dr. Maxfield! “Drink more water to cure acne” is probably one of the most annoying and offensive things people can say. I think because it’s the assumption that you must have acne because you’re not eating healthy/clean.

[@BalancingLifeStyles]

You can’t cure acne but water does help with hydration from water helps with overall health

[@LovetheFight184]

this! I've had a very healthy whole foods diet plus drinking at least a half gallon of water per day for the past 3 years. So being told to maybe change my diet or drink more water literally felt offensive as if I wasn't already putting in so much effort to try and be healthy

[@msk-qp6fn]

It's kinda annoying and funny when some people immediately tell me to stop eating chocolate, dairy and drink more water when I complain about my acne. Annoying because like I have never heard that before. Funny because I like the look on their face when I tell them I barely eat chocolate or chocolate containing products in the first place and am mildly lactose intolerant.

[@anitamichelle04]

My 22 yo daughter suffered with horrible acne for years. It was heartbreaking to see her suffer to the point of laying in bed crying, refusing to go to school or out in public at all. After three dermatologists and several different treatments the last dermatologist is the one who finally got it right. The first one prescribed doxycycline, a cream for her face and a clindamycin foam wash because she had it really bad on shoulders and upper back also. Her faced cleared up for about a month and then seemed to break out even worse. The wash did clear up the acne on her shoulders and upper back and she’s not had since in those areas. Second one said she had overactive sweat glands. I don’t remember what was prescribed but she said if that didn’t work then the next step would be a type of laser treatment. She explained the procedure would be to apply a cream to her face and then use like a laser light that will activate the cream and paralyze the sweat glands. The initial treatment worked again for like a month and then stopped working. My daughter didn’t feel like it was overactive sweat glands so went on to the third dermatologist. He prescribed Accutane and she has not had a break out since. At the age of 20 she paid $800 to a dermatologist to have all the scars treated and just the one treatment removed all the scars. I do not remember the name of the treatment but it was an invasive one not just a topical cream or gel. I love that she no longer has to deal with the acne or scars. She is such a beautiful young lady with or without acne/scars but she could not see it and was so depressed over it and in turn I would feel like a let her down. I had many times I cried in my room seeing how it effected her to the point of depression. Well, this comment is getting too long. Just wanted to point out that it took three dermatologists to finally get results. I don’t know why and I don’t believe it should. Just thankful that we found the right one at the end. Also, wanted to point out that truly severe acne can have severe psychological and emotional impact on the person. Sometimes people do not have the means to see a dermatologist. My daughter started suffering from the horrible acne around 12 I believe. It wasn’t until around 16 that I had insurance & could take her to a dermatologist. So, believe me, when I say……..when it’s that severe most have already tried everything possible other than burning his/her face off and the last thing they want is for anyone, other than a professional, telling them what to try and/or do.

Nothing worked until I went to see a dermatologist--and within 2 weeks I had noticeable results. So one more myth I'd like to bust--if you have really bad acne, more than 2-3 zits/month for months at a time, bad enough that you're in pain all the time and just really miserable, don't try to fix it at home with home remedies or over-the-counter products. See a dermatologist. It'll be cheaper in the long run too, especially if you have insurance! If your acne can be treated with OTC products, a good derm will tell you so! Also, Dr M and Dr S--would you include the citation of the study you mentioned where study participants talk about the most common acne myths?

I would have to agree that the worst is when people say you need to drink more water... However, it's even worse when these kind of myths are coming out of the mouth of a doctor and unfortunately I have heard such sh*t from doctors that often, that I stopped going to the dermatologists 5 years ago. They didn't do anything but make my rosacea acne much worse and destroy my confidence (by saying without even knowing me stuff like: "you should eat less chocolate"!). Anyhow, their therapies made my skin so so dry that instead of having the 3-5 small pimples I used to get, my whole chin area was flaring up with some still small but painful spots.

I definitely get hormonal acne. I've got it almost completely under control after a year of starting and adjusting skincare. I get a couple tiny tiny tiny non-hormonal whiteheads on my nose a couple times a week and they go away within 48 hours, and I still get some sebaceous filaments. But the pimples on my jawline and chin have been gone for months and my PIH is gone. I'm working on textured scars now with weekly OTC peels and a mild OTC retinoid, and it's been about 3 months, but I expect it to take up to a year to see substantial results without in-office procedures. I'm really happy though. My skin tone is so even now that I get compliments on my "smooth" skin, even though I still have a lot of textured scars from acne and chicken pox. They're just less obvious because none of them are red, hyperpigmented, or hypopigmented anymore. THAT SAID, my acne was never severe, just moderate, and it responded well to home treatment. Don't feel bad about yourself if you can't do what I did. If you need to see a derm or use prescriptions, or even if you still struggle after all that, that's your story, not mine. Don't compare your skin to anyone else's!

My adult acne is directly related to food. After years of trial and error, accutane treatments, going vegan or keto, I've found that a whole food plant based diet is the best for my health and skin. I do not consume dairy which is a major cause of my acne and severe menstrual pains or gluten which causes my eczema and contributes slightly to my acne. I avoid sugar at all costs despite an occasional treat. For skin care, lately I use nicinamide for mornings, retinol for evenings and hyaluronic acid in face wash and toner for mornings and evenings. Sunscreen always. I'm seeing good results but it's still a hard journey, one day something works then the next day it stops. Exhausting trying to figure it all out but here we are, trying our best on this seemingly lonely path. Thanks you doctors and all the best to everyone trying to figure it out.

Just wanted to clarify for some ED viewers, food has no moral value, pizza isn’t necessary bad if it is enjoyed in moderation and this applies to all foods 💜

[@anissa4334]

Hi!Can that cleanser be used if you’re on tretinoin? Thanks !

[@arosic11]

Can you guys do a video on allergic reactions to products? I bought a new condition that it turned out i was allergic to and my skin got so dry and red and itchy and it took like a week after i stopped using the product, cleaned all my pillows/clothes etc., took allergy meds, for my skin to return to normal and I kept wondering why it was going on for so long, how to better treat it, etc.

For those who may not have access to skin fix, would you recommend people get cetaphil or spectro and add azelaic acid, niacinamide, salicylic acid & glycolic acid from the lines Inkeylist or ordinary?

[@taurussian4591]

Azelaic acid is amazing. I use the one by the Ordinary

[@BlackCatsAreCute]

That skinfix cleanser was one of my favs but they reformulated recently. Now they no longer say there is azaleic acid in it on front. What is your opinion on new formulation and can you recommend they go back to other formulation if the azeleic acid is gone and you think previous formula as better?!! It says online that it still has azeleic acid but I do not see it listed in ingredients list on the new boxes in store now. My Derm had suggested this one before too on previous formulation….

Thank-you for the knowledge

Please do a skincare video for pregnant/ breastfeeding moms! I love all your videos but can't use some of these products because I'm breastfeeding and will be for a while still. I am desperate to take care of my skin as much as possible during this time but just don't know how!

[@Rebeccamunro1]

Hi guys! Is pure rosehip oil ok to use as a moisturiser for your face if you have hormonal acne?? Thankyou so much in advance 🙏🏽🥰

[@isagoldfield7393]

We appreciate you guys so much‼️ Have a great weekend🏕🍒🌷

[@_rubydiamond]

@doctorly can y’all please do an eczema/dermatitis video including exfoliants, retinols and other sleeper products we might need to include in our routines other than a gentle cleanser and moisturizer? Pleeeeeeease

[@shaina7735]

I would love to hear you guys talk about Acne Inversa (Hidradenitis Supperativa) since it affects so many people yet its not talked about much! And some doctors don't even know about the condition either!

[@shasharlene]

I hope you can make a video about Post pill acne. Im currently dealing with this and its really stressing me out. Hellllp

[@lexijones8019]

Cerave SA really does dry me out. I use it twice a week and on those days I am so much drier. La Roche Posay in the blue bottle is so good. Gentle and works well. Not going to lie- when I eat greasy food I feel greasy. I do not know why. Even Mayo and Peanut Butter I get greasy. Haha.

[@stephhall7724]

What is your opinion on acne skincare for children. What’s age would you suggest a simple skincare routine compared to just just good nutrition and hygiene?

[@aubreyilarde]

Thanks doctors! Learning a lot from your informative vids! I just have a concern regarding ‘maskne’. My skin was fine until I started wearing masks. (The country where I am still requires people to wear masks) Maybe you can give advice on how to prevent it esp for me who has oily skin and lives in a tropical country. Thanks in advance!

[@johanna4675]

I went to my derm and he told me to not use sunscreen because it contained oil and would make my oily skin worse. I'm so glad I watched this video because I knew that sounded really odd, going to request a change in derms now, thanks for the information!

[@lilacblue3331]

That derm sounds sus

[@brandenkerley]

That advice would be excruciatingly painful for people with pale skin. I use CeraVe SPF 30 AM + PM moisturizer, and it's significantly helped my acne. I'm glad you didn't follow his recommendation.

[@shnyarz.8686]

Hi doctor please make a video about a good routine for fungal acne ??

[@mediocredew]

Any moisturizer recommendations for less oil on the skin? Preferably seb derm friendly. My face gets more red/oily as the day goes on so Im thinking I need a moisturizer with salicylic acid?

[@bovinah2]

Was thinking I got adult acne. Actually I wasn't, I was allergic to the resins in my water softener that contained high iodine. I broke out on my face, jawline, chest, stomach, and back. Found out after my water softener system broke down within two week my face and body cleared out. Installed a new water softener in after two months, I broke out again. Shut it off, my face and body was cleared from acne again. Just another reason why you broke out.

Hi! New subscriber and currently benchwatching your channel 😂 I can’t believe I just now discovered your channel!!! Also it was definitely the Sunscreen videos that made me love your content 💙 this video is a wake up call that everyone should watch 😇

[@shg3693]

How do I know if I need a separate moisturiser and SPF? And how do I know if it contains ingredients that would give me spots. I use La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Suncream SPF50.

[@JGmeow]

How can you tell the difference between inflammatory and hormonal acne?

[@hillaryporto5142]

Just ordered the Doctorly favs collection, so excited to try it out!

[@Doctorly]

Please come back to update us!!!

[@hillaryporto5142]

@@Doctorly a month later of using the SkinFix barrier restoring gel cream daily and I can say it has worked wonders for me. I have oily and an olive skin tone, & am dealing with a lot of acne scars from constantly using masks during the pandemic. Slowly my skin is healing, I feel more confident with my bare face now! When I 1st started using the product I used to apply it only once a day, so I would recommended to make sure you use it twice daily to get the best result. Thanks Doctorly! :)

Hi, Oscar from Australia. What do you recommend to treat stubborn bumps on the back of the head?
