What Can Be The Cause For The Severe Acne?
Hi, I have diabetes and am on met/glib, januvia, and just started lev emir & novo log. My sugars are very high my lowest being 257. Anyway, when I wake up my husband tells me my face is very swollen, I m 40 but have severe acne, I m always tired even after sleeping all night. I just can t get out of my own way. I muscle spasms not just in my legs but sometimes in my stomached. My memory is shot. I tell myself I m going to do something like pay a bill make an appointment I write it down too but it doesn t get done. I often get confused and forgetful. Sometimes I get temple pain. I also get very agitated it seems for no reason. My thigh and fingers feel numb and prickly. I can t even peel potatoes without a shooting pain. I m loosing my hair and when I have my period it s very very heavy. I can t consitrate.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe acne on face since 5 to 6 years which is mainly due to clogging of skin pores. It could be due to postinflammatory hyper-pigmentation. I would suggest you to start applying mashed potatoes on your skin and keep it for 10-15 mins 2 times a day. You should avoid exposure to oily, greasy and sharp food substances. Drink plenty of water. Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances on face. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on scars. Wash your skin 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your skin.Take diet rich in vitamin E.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
