| Author | Topic: Peeling red spots& breakouts on one side |
| fireash 03-28-2003 10:38 AM | Wai, Before I went on the diet, I was on proactiv which seemed to work for a while but then it stopped, leaving me with underground blemishes and red marks. As soon as I stopped proactiv(containing benzoyl peroxide)and used rosewater, the redness diminished, but after a couple days on the diet the red spots began to peel and become flaky. However, I know the rest of my skin is not dry or anything and I don't want to use oil because I tested it out and it doesn't really work. Is this a normal sign of healing? Another question . . . My acne is not all that bad (besides the red marks) but I notice I have so much more breakouts on the right side of my face (the left side of my face is practically clear) Why is this? |
