What is the best face wash for cystic acne?
Best facial cleanser for acne, in general, is one called AsepticMD that I was involved in developing. It has a completely unique ingredient called Dioxicare that supports the natural balance of skin bacteria and exfoliates at the same time, in a completely non-irritating way. I recommend the Foaming Facial Cleanser. It isn't marketed but if you google it you'll find it. READ MORE
I have oily skin. Should I get a face gel?
I would not. For those with oily skin the only really effective treatment is a course of isotretinoin which will temporarily make the dryness part worse but will permanently fix the oilyness. Gels and other products for oily skin are just marketing fluff that make a lot of money for companies that make them and doctors that sell them. READ MORE
Is sun exposure a normal way to bring relief from Eczema?
Not only normal, but one of the best things you can do, not just for your son's eczema, but for his health and well-being in general. READ MORE
