Last year at around this period pimples started feasting on my face,so i bought stuff like funbact a,nixoderm and skineal they bleached me and did nothing for my face,i am dark.
So i stopped using all of those stuff and left my face the way it was. Fastforward to this period my face has gotten so bad continuosly with pimples leaving me with a scaly face and dark spots.
I stay in the north and i am a mass communication student my real issues started when i was suppose to take up hosting a show that was to be produced live as a class production and after several rehearsals they lecturer said to me "i hope that you know that with all those things on your face you cannot be the host of this show",i did not even realise it was that bad.
I had to fall in the audience,i am in the north and there are very few skin clinics,i visited one and i was told to pay 8000 naira for just a test,the truth is i cannot afford even half of that. My skin has gotten so bad that when people see me the ask me what is this on your face? Someone even called it disgusting,i hear things like You don't look like yourself. My mom told me that i look scary now,even my 4year old younger brother touched my face and asked me what is this?
Truly to be honest,it has killed me so much inside that going out seems to be a punishment for me,every night it bothers me deeply. I hope u post this on your blog so that anyone that has had issue with bad skin will offer me a valuable advise on what to do.
I can't afford any expensive product or afford checking
back at the clinic and by the way,i really do take care of my skin and i don't even apply heavy make-up,powder is the limit. This has really killed my confidence in so many ways,i wish i could go further to narrate my humiliating experiences but i don't wish to be pitied,i just need helpful suggestions,because seriously this has left me in series of depressive moods and i really do need help.
Thank you and God bless!

Quite a pity dear. Wish I had any clue. #womenissue..
ReplyDeleteWow touching..... I have two questions for u,hope u reply. First,what cream do u use? What hair cream do u use? Do u keep ur face dry? If no! I recommend u use Lemon fresh as ur major cream,it's oli free.Reduce d amount of hair cream u rub on ur hair.Wash ur face every 30mins if possible and rub ur white powder to keep it dry.You can use epiderm action cream every night b4 going to bed...I bet u,two weeks ur face will b pimples free..cheers
ReplyDeleteTrue talk
DeletePlease do not wash ur face frequently.. Dont follow all they say here.. I had a major breakout of pimples for years and as im typing this, believe me when i say i dont have a single spot, zit or pimple on my face anymore.. I went to every dermatologist i cud fine and all they prescribed were creams filled wid comedogenic agents (which most of the things they have prescribed here contains) like isopropyl myristate.. I went to a pharmacist as my last resort, he started me on monocycline 500millgrms or so for exactly on month and gave me retin-a cream to use at d same time... After a month, i stopped the monocycline and kept on using retin a.. I wud be lying to u if i said it was easy as retin a makes u very sensitive to d sun initially and peels ur face for some days and i was always indoors.. U need to use a very little amount of d cream like a pea-sized amount... Also retin-a builds up collagen in ur skin and makes u look way younger than ur age after initial purging.. After three long months, all my pimples were gone apart from d black spots.. I started using ambi fadecream by johnson and johnson for d spots ... I wish i cud post my before and after pics here, u wud be shocked... U have to be very patient, d pimples didnt come in a day and dont expect it to go in a second... Pls dont overwash ur face as it makes ur face very irritated(u can google that).. My advice is that u meet a good derm or pharmacist.. Goodluck to u... Im out
DeletePs... D dermatologist and pharmacists i have met didnt charge me for consultation... Bfor then i had used everything u cud think of, just name it... Honey, lemon, salicylic acid, avocado pear and so on... Retin a(tretinoin cream) is about 1500... Not sure how much monocycline costs now ... Please dont use cheap things and brands that cannot be trusted when fighting acne unless u r sure on d agents they contain.. U wud only be poisoning ur skin if u use agents that block pores.. I did so much research on acne and believe me when i say ur own depression dey learn work wey my own bin dey..wish u success
DeleteUse wt Miss Ima suggested, i had d same issue yrs bk. Gluck
ReplyDeletePoster DO NOT use ANYTHING on your face both cream and soap
ReplyDeleteLeave your face like that but make sure you wash often with normal toilet soap and water all the time after which you should apply normal echanteur white powder
The more u apply cosmetics on your face the worst it gets so better stick to d soap water and powder therapy.
Goodluck
U are very wicked. She should leave her face like that. Be sincere, if u were in her shoes, will u leave yo face like that? Dear poster just get a good facial cream that won't bleach u. Don't mind this girl here
DeleteUr wicked sha! White powder to keep the face dry? You must realise that there are different skin types.
DeleteDear poster,
Kindly identify ur skin type, do u have a dry face I.e ur face is always dry wen urwake up in d morning or anytime of d way when exposed 2 heat/sun
Do u have a combination skin i.e when u wake up in the morning ur forehead n areas around ur nose is oily (like in a T shape) and areas too close to ur nose?
Do u have an oily skin i.e ur whole face is oily??
Please find out where you belong before trying out stuff so u dnt worsen the situation. Lemme knw wen u have discovered where you belong so I can profer a solution for you. Sometimes you can try natural/home remedies without having to use chemicals.
Whatever you do, here are points to note: There is much more to you than just a pretty face. That lecturer who made you feel that way was shallow and wouldn't know skills/talent if it kicked him in the balls. He obviously isn't as smart as he ought to be, worst case, he'd have let someone make you up, there are tons of make-ups you can wear to cover up your spots/zits, without 'packing up your face', so don't even think about feeling sorry for yourself cos of that, not everyone you see on TV or in pictures has an actually fresh face. About treating it, best thing is to stay of chemicals on ur face for now...apply red oil when you wake up in the morning b4 bathing, at night do same, rub shea butter on the face and go to sleep thanking God you're His image. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, exercise, love yourself. I've been where you are, so I know, and my pimples aren't completely gone, the spots take even longer....and when I have an appearance to make, I do a marathon face scrub like three days b4 just to help the make-up sit better. Lobatan. Pimples aint no disease, it'll go when you stop feeding its ego. lol. And you can try changing ur bathing soap to EDEN (N300), stuff worked for me. Hope this helps. Good job on this blog Emeh.
ReplyDeleteUse nothing, just wash with normal soap and avoid your hair touching your face, wash pillows often and u can get baby wipes.
ReplyDeleteI dont advise the use of drugs or anything artificial for this. The natural ways have no side effects.
ReplyDeleteTry any of these methods:
1. Use lime or lemon juice to clean ur face before u bath. Rub it on ur face and leave for abt 10mins before u wash it off. (i mean the main fruits o not fruit juice).
2. Use raw egg white to rub ur face. Allow it dry, wait till about 15 to 20mins before washing. Do ds continously for as long as u want.
3. This may sound disgusting bt it works. Try using ur menstrual blood on ur face (i suggest night). Rub it on ur face , and leave it to dry. Leave for about 20mins before washing.
4. Try not to be using d same sponge u use for ur body on ur face.
5. Always wash ur face wt warm water before sleeping at night.
Personally av stopped using face cleansers for my face. I use lime as my cleanser now and it has no side effect.
This is my little contribution, i hope it helps.
Did u just say menstrual blood? Nawaa ooooooooooo abeg shut yo trap *spits*
DeleteUr 'little contribution' would help nada and here is why:
Delete1) Lime and lemon is too acidic for someone whose skin is sensitive and acne-prone.using these would cause her a lot of pains and may even lead to scarring.they also lighten the skin.
2) Raw egg is used to tighten the pores.if she tries to tighten her pores(which are blocked with pimples),she will prbly end up with blackheads
3)NO WAY should anybody even touch menstrual blood not to talk of deliberately spreading it on the face!it doesn't only sound disgusting,it is disgusting.jeez!what is this??????I can't deal abeg!!!!
4)No woman should ever use sponge on her face.the skin on the face is way too sensitive and should be handled with care.and skin such as the poster's has no business getting near a sponge.
5)Washing her face with only warm water at night makes no sense(not that I expect you to at this point).after all the sweat and handling her poor oily face gets thru out the day,jst warm water doesn't cut it.
Thank you

Bitchy Karma, after all d criticisms, what's ur own suggestion?
DeleteBitchy Karma, after all d criticisms, what's ur own suggestion?
Delete@ Always a LaDy
DeleteSo much HATE! Menstrual blood you said?
I wonder what did she do to you that you hate her that much, next you’ll tell her to put used sanitary pads in hot boiled water, allow them to simmer for 20 minutes then drink!
Yuck menstrual blood. That's adding more disease to her face
DeleteI don't agree with the menstrual blood because guess what? Blood harbours bacteria which multiply upon contact with air - the leading cause of pimples. I think good exercise and drinkng plenty water (Are you drinking 8 cups a day?) A good run on the treadmill and elliptical machine for an hour, 3 to 5 days a week should do the trick. And I don't mean just a leisurely walk. You should feel your face feeling drenched and that's how you know your body is getting rid of plenty of disease-causing, skin uglifying toxins. Green tea is good. Just remember, water and exercise for clear skin. Wish we had more nutritionists involved and excited about education in Naija
DeleteAnd as for washing your face at night. I once read an article about starting with warm water to open the dirty pores and clean them soap. And then finish with cold water to close your pores. Hope this helps
Delete@Always a LaDy, abeg fear God na...menstrual what??? abi na sacrifice? hian
DeleteUse that oil just around a condom,works like magic.I'm dead serious
ReplyDeleteHad same problems and skinneal did d magic no bleaching, maybe u bought a fake skinneal
ReplyDeleteIt could be you used one of those expired or contraband creams those funky malam sells in the north that they said could treat 500 bacteria or skin infections or you tried to lighten your face a little,not knowing your skin is very sensitive to it.Body creams can only lighten the affected area but when you stop using it the infection will resurface.Some years back i had severe boils all over my body.I went to a hospital.After the doctor examined my body he demanded 13k for treatment after i had paid 2k as consultation fee.I was like,this man wan turn me to maga o.I left there and went to a pharmacy shop that sells genuine drugs.After i explained my travails.He sold antibiotic,anti-inflamatory cream and few drugs for #700 to me.After i drank the anti biotic and rub the cream on the surface for 3wks everything disappeared.So you dont need just body cream.you also need antibiotics drugs to kill the infection internally.cheers.
ReplyDeleteMenstrual blood???????
ReplyDeletetry use pop u will lik ur face
ReplyDelete@always a lady,what tha heck are those things you listed?Are they clinically tested?No let nafdac arrest you for this your prescription o.
ReplyDeleteEat 15 kwılıkwılı per Day it will help.. IT İŞ WELL
ReplyDeleteUse lemon nd honey on ur face, leave for sometime bfor washing, that is d cheapest way since u Dnt av money
ReplyDeletethis is what I know, had a friend who had to stop modeling cos pimples use am shine! anyways , use your first urine for the day, rub on your face allow it for abt 15 mins I will ask her for the other things , oh and it was recommended by a skin doctor. so am not just saying
ReplyDelete@always a lady let Belinda catch u! BTW menstrual blood ? so the next time she sees her period make she collect am store? oghene!
ReplyDeleteOhh my God I had thesame issue for almost a year mine was terrible and disgusting. Untill I used benyzoe parozie. I swear to God they all vanished within three days. Plsss try it is just 2k.
ReplyDeleteI used to have serious acne.nw,my face is so smooth I dnt even use powder.you have to understand first that u have pimples cos u have oily skin.all u need to do is keep ur face clean.use products for oily skin and products containing salicylic acid.Wash ur face with sebamed clear face morning and night.that balances the ph level of the skin.then cleanse with any astringent containing atleast 2% salicylic acid(noxerma,clean and clear,cetaphil,clearasil)then use a mosturiser for oily skin.(Try neutrogena,nivea, olay,jergens)exfoliate twice a week(clean and clear has one for acne prone skin) and within 2wks,u will notice a diff.try it.all of these cost less than 5k and would last more than 2mths.don't ever use those funbact and skineal tube creams.they contain steroids and are very dangerous to the skin
ReplyDelete*KARMAisabitch
Try using EINN Organic Natural cocoa butter..
ReplyDeleteAno11.39,your prescription will make the face of a 17yr old girl look like the face of a 70 yrs old grandma.
ReplyDeleteFat lot u know!the three steps to perfect skin is to cleanse(even if its with just water),moisturize(that's like feeding the skin) and exfoliate atleast twice a week(it could just be rubbing lightly at the face with a soft cloth and water).you exfoliate to shed dead skin cells that cause dullness.all the products I listed are examples so she can research them herself.
DeleteThere is no point replying a comment if you know nothing about anything.Thank you

Let me give u d best advice: stop worrying or tinking abt it bcos it brings it out d more(av bin in ur shoes) dis was wat I used cos I browsed on d internet: buy calamine lotion and use tetracycline,come back and tank me later,wash ur face wit warm water,drink plenty water. Pls don't use raw eggs or lime,av used dem b4 and it'll make ur face ovadry and rough.try wat I rote and u'll b grateful
ReplyDeleteU can use concealer to cover ur face in d afternoon n use d lemon nd honey on ur face wen u r home..or u dnt use makeup?
ReplyDeleteI think your predicament has to do with the weather cos you said this time last year. Follow up on Miss Ima's advice and you will see the best of your face. Goodluck with it.
ReplyDeletena wa ooo.too many suggestions,how many is she going to try out? wat will wrk for one person might not necessarily wrk for anoda person.my dear d best tin to do is to c a doctor or pharmacist .if u dnt ave money now,save up for it.so u dnt end up making it look worse.
ReplyDeleteThank you o...
DeleteJust like someone said use cleanser with salicylic acid.. Try using clean and clear acne cleanser and their scrub, works like magic. For da spots it leaves just conceal it whenever ur going out and always try to wash ur face before sleeping.. Pele
ReplyDeleteTry using pharmaderm cleanser like miss ima said I have tried it b4 and it worked. It will burn out the pimples and then peel off.
ReplyDeleteMine was bad too, I actually am still treating mine but it's a whole lot better. Inshort I can hardly see the spots and pimples again. It took it over two years to subside. I just kept on drinking as much as 6 glasses of water everyday, taking a lit of fruits, then before I bath I rub honey on the face and then the one that made it work I used this local black soap they sell at the market. I got if for just 400 naira. And in less than four months they started fading. My dear one more thing u should know what works for another person may not work for you. So I suggest you make use of the cheaper products you see people telling u to buy cause they work better than all these costly ones of 8k and above. Good luck. We hope to hear hear your testimonies. One more thing I found my lovely bf when I had the spots and now he is enjoying my face now it's going. So who ever falls for you despite your looks is one in a million, and will enjoy your beauty once it starts getting better because it would not last forever on your face.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you charmed him with the black soap?
DeleteI bet you gave him black soup as well, Just pray that his eyes don’t clear, otherwise u’ll b in deep...
Rotflmao...this Belinda will not kill me...hahaha
DeleteMy dia just remove your mind from it and put in prayers ànd you see God miracle in the little things we dnt except
ReplyDeleteSorry Dear, try and raise the 8K so that u can understand your skin type and what products to use.
ReplyDeleteIf not, you can use the sunlight bar soap (i don't know if u hv in your country), don't scrub yo face hard, and wait for it to dry instead of using the cloth to dry, and apply ponds according to your skin type (they have for all different skin types)
My advice, try as much as you can not to touch your face. Cos doin so spreads d pimples. Hav u tried clearex 10? Works prity well. P.s stop worryin so much it doesn't help ur situation.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were plenty dermatologists in the house oh
ReplyDeleteNa wa o
ReplyDeletesometimes such breakouts can be from changes in hormones.. u have to take a strong antibiotics to kill them from inside..tetracycline works in this case. cant prescribe a cream cos cant see your face but you need to use something that will dry the ones on the skin. just like some other person person said tetracycline and calamine lotion, maybe you try the calamine lotion. they are both cheap.
ReplyDeleteI once had this problem, as in i have smooth skin but suddenly, pimple upon pimples. I couldn't look at my face in the mirror. My mom told me not to stress, just wash your face twice a day with a mild soap. One day it just disappeared, using anything was just aggravating it.
ReplyDeleteYou said your skin is dry and scaly. I think the cause is a separate thing rom the pimples. the pimples are caused by oily skin. Do you perhaps have combination skin. with your description of it as disgusting and weird, you may have Psoriasis hon. look into it. if you also have dry scaly scalp and random itchy breakouts of rashes that turn dry and scaly too. then it could be Psoriasis. I suggest bone and go for the test. what worked for the readers may not work for you. everyone's skin is different
ReplyDeleteIf u have a healthy boyfriend or husband use his semen just for one or two weeks ur face will be like two month old baby face. (1)apply it. (2) allow it to stay for 5-10 minute. (3) watch it off . Don't apply ur foundation makeup for this period , try it and see. is 100% effective just beg ur boyfriend u need his semen (sperm) , but if u boyfriend is the type that smoke or drink local bitter is may not work effectively . If u can't do that D last alternative is to start having baby now
