Andy from Kent Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The Missus has suffered a relapse of a pimple (acne) outbreak. I'd like to find a source for a product called Clearasil. Can someone recommend a source please? Last year when she had an attack she went to a skin/beauty clinic and that set us back around 35K. I'd rather give some products a try this time around.

ThailandRyan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hormonal issue perhaps. Clinics are not the ticket even though they prod and prod you. There are some OTC medicines available, but then seeing a dermatologist at a hospital might be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Depending upon what sort of "pimples" they are, it could be hormonal, so a doctor would prescribe something for that. Another cream to consider is Retin A which will send the area little red, whilst it sloughs off a little of the top layer of the skin, thereby opening up the pores to unblock them or to clear out any infection.

ColeBOzbourne Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 An unhappy girl pointed out to me that she had pimples. So I asked her why do you have pimples. She said she was allergic to her cheap makeup and it gave her pimples. I asked what she would do. She said she would apply more makeup to hide the pimples. I asked why she didn't stop using the makeup. She said she had to use it, because she had pimples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I had a Rich Falang like you I could buy the expensive make-up to cover my pimples, and my pimples would be gone, she told the man named ColeBozbourne.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains sulfanilamide which is an antibacterial drug which has been around for yonks, and may work, but of course it depends upon the nature/cause of the pimples. No harm in trying, by sprinkling just a drop of water in one's palm and adding the powder to make a paste and spread on the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 All these cleansing things aren't really worth their money, they might improve the situation a bit, but that's it. Things that can really help are (depending on what is the cause): Birth control pill, Antiobiotics, Acnotin (For Acnotin you need to see a doctor, not available OTC in Thailand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lopburi3, I looked at these sites previously but for some reason the Missus decided to head off to Fascino and buy products there. This time she bought off both the links you posted. Pimples and acme are so devastating to a lady and I feel so powerless to help her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Tetracycline is used to treat a wide variety of infections, including acne. It is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Disclaimer:- I am not a medical person and have no medical training but Tetracycline has been around for loong time and worked for me in my youth.

Sheryl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Is your wife currently taking birth control pills? If so, which brand? BC pills can both cause and help prevent acne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
