Body Acne or Folliculitis? Dermatologist Tips & Drugstore Skincare Products to Try | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@sabrinav1381]

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.

[@juanvazquez1365]

What did U get ?

[@testing-ki4gw]

Hey what did you get ?

[@cc_snipergirl]

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.

[@dagingerbreadman70]

Pimple butt lmao

[@iskandarhussain]

I did Accutane for 12 months (3 x 20 mg per day) and helped with 70%.. And finally when the derm gave up... She gave me a farewell cream AKLIEF... Cuz she had give up on fixing the last 30%.. And AKLIEF has really helped removing the last 30% acne on the lower back.. But use the cream with caution..apply 1 day, then wait 2-3 days... Cuz the area will flake.. And hopefully it should clear the last 30 within the month.. Lower back acne for 12 years... Finally went to derm 12 months ago.

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

[@amandamacuiba7885]

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).

[@shawnconover00]

yall these aren’t the tips from the video but i still wanna say this. ANYWAYSSSS YAWLLL IMA PUT YALL TF ON: -dr bronners soap (i use tea tree) but get whichever scent u want -exfoliating gloves, african sponge (just any exfoliating shower tools u can get) -cold showers -shower everyday -unscented lotions more tips in my routine!! lemme tell y’all what i do: i put on cold water and kinda jus soak my body, put on the exfoliating gloves and put on the dr bronners soap (like a squirt) AND put it under water to let it foam up and also to make sure it’s diluted bc it says so on the bottle, so i jus scrub my whole body (don’t be so rough), rinse off, then i go in with dove or olay bc i love those r my fav brands! if you have hella skin use dove sensitive skin!! 2 soaps sounds like too much but it’s not because the dr bronners soap takes away moisture or hydration chile ion remember but make sure to use a hydrating body wash after! after i get out and use lotion! i use nivea shea butter or just natural shea butter which is very good! another thing ...stop using those cute bath and body works scented lotions, they’re not good. i still use perfume bc it’s not going on my body it’s going on my clothes but yea!!! it’s been like a week and it’s basically gone deadass! anyways nicki minaj is the queen of rap and hope that helped anyone

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi I also like a hypochlorus spray for folliculitis in between cleansing, to help keep the area clean. Pimple patches can help with the friction on the larger breakouts and be more comfortable as your clothes rub during the day. Best wishes.

I also use the differin adapaline she recommended and that is a game changer!!! After I get out the shower I use that on my upper back and wow!

[@user-ym7bc9dy9i]

did you have any success ?? I'm in the same boat

[@monstersmakemegiggle]

@@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!

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?

[@perzonne6302]

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?

Dermadew is an anti skin acne soap that fully reduced my body acne. My problem is I really have a very oily skin and I have acnes on my chest but on my back I have spots which were once acnes, Idk why is that? But it was caused by a lotion and not from the soap. The soap actually helped me reduce that inflammation and clean those areas where bad microbes were hiding. Also those who have oily skin, like really oily, dermadew is a great soap. You can also apply benzoyl peroxide body washes , that helps too. But my recommendation will still be to reach out for a dermatologist if nothing works out well. Because maybe you are destroying your skin health by delaying to reaching out for a dermatologist. Thank you and have a great day amigos :)

Those behaviorial modification won't change shit but diet will. I'm 27 and I'm struggling with acne since forever. The dermatologist only prescribed benzyl peroxide which made it worse.

Ahh I'm sorry you had that experience - I had very similar, it's very disconcerting especially when when you've forked out so much $$$ to get it sussed! I have papulopustular rosacea (I thought it was acne but you get redness and whiteheads) and I've found watching this channel, Dr Dray and Dr Davin Lim on KZbin really helpful! Dr Lim recommends going super basic with a basic cleanser first (Cetaphil gentle eg), mineral sunscreen for day and a gel moisturizer (fragrance free) for after cleansing at night. Look at and of these derms videos on azaleic acid, it may help you! I have a lightstim wand which is red light therapy and it's helped with the severity of my base redness, but you would still need v beam laser or IPL for repairing and broken capillaries. Sorry for being longwinded, maybe some of this might help you, I know how frustrating it can be! If all else fails, definitely find a better derm! Best of luck xx
