#ThisMorning - Zábava
She is legend I have absolute admiration for her. I am 35 and suffer really badly and its only recently my confidents is at a high. I have keep taking tablets and cream just to keep it in check, Good luck for the future
3:01 Calling it bad skin maybe wasn't the nicest thing to say Cat, and then make her feel worse by telling her how gross you felt when you had it.
I cringed when she said that! 😬
Roaccutane is not a nice drug and can have some nasty side effects, but its the only thing that works for severe acne.
I used that - my acne came back
Come on This Morning help someone out who was brave enough to come on your show and talk. Pay for her to get a private consultation in London right away and just get her the drug. Stop making it so hard.
It’s horrific that she is being made to wait so long for a referral when her acne is so severe. The mental anguish this causes is no joke! I took a course Roaccutane in my late 20s and unfortunately my acne did return, although not as bad and has been managed since with Dianette. However I am due to come off it as I’ve been on it a long time. Looks like I’ll be going private if I need to see a dermatologist again!
Cat and Ben should pay for a private appointment for her because she had the courage to come on the show.
After a few years they refuse to give you dinette again. Was on it five years then refused to ever be given it again even private derms won't. Get off it now its worse when you first do, I'm 4 months on spirolactone and it's moving now x
My own acne problems disappeared within a year of leaving school, but that was a miserable time in itself because kids as we know can be (and were) very cruel. I geniunely feel sorry for people that suffer from it in adulthood though.
Roaccutane is the answer, It's a miracle for the treatment of acne. I spent a lifetime trying everything under the sun and that was the only thing that shifted my adult acne.
I agree
Same here took it for 7 months but had nose bleeds, dry lips and skin
@@frozengamer3030 me too, had terrible side effects but it was worth every bit of the pain to have no acne.
@@catschorus4684 I do get occasional spots but it’s nothing compared to before
💯 cleared my sons dreadful acne within 6 months👍👍
Acne destroyed my confidence in HS and early university. Acne is hard to deal with.
I started getting acne at age 11. I’m 31 now and still get spots. I started using Epiduo gel from the doctors about 3 years ago. It has helped a lot. I don’t have big breakouts anymore. It’s a very strong cream though so it does dry your skin out, and if you use too much it will burn your skin and leave you red and peeling. So I’m careful to only use it when necessary. All those years I never went to the doctors assuming it would just go away eventually. My mum never took me as a teenager either. It massively affected how I am now as an adult. I am very very introverted. My teen years I had friends. But I avoided at all costs talking to anybody new because I didn’t want anybody to look directly at me. Now, although I’ve got better over the years, I’m quite shy and not the chattiest in the room. So I believe it had a massive effect on the way I am today. Those important years developing my personality were hindered by me just wanting the ground to swallow me up.
Let food be thy medicine
I stopped eating sugar and decreased fruit consumption to two portions per day- acne gone entirely. Also my thyroid condition got cured.
I wish the doctors said that before prescribing hormones
elimination diet + red light therapy machine changed my life
What did you eliminate ?
@@jonatikaWwe an elimination diet works by cutting out pretty much all food (I actually started mine with a 3 day fast) and then gradually re-introducing food. while taking note of any changes in your skin
Personally, I found cutting out grains, certain types of oily food (like fried food etc), sugar, and dairy all made a difference. even though my allergy tests came back negative for all these things
@@jonatikaWwe Eliminating high histamine and histamine liberator foods is the solution. You have to be super aware of any changes you see and what could have triggered it. Histamine intolerance is a bucket, sometimes you can eat one food for a week and then your bucket gets full and on the second week of eating it, you'll break out.
Sometimes its hormonal.
Looks so painful 😢
I am very lucky in that I never really got it on my face at all even as a teen, but now at 36 I did get it on my shoulders, chest, upper arms and back quite a bit. I got a soap bar from Boots which has tea tree and witch hazel in it and it has cleared up all of these areas so well, it’s like night and day.
I had horrendous cystic acne at 26. Roaccutane completely got rid of it and side effects were worth it.
What were your side effects please ?
@@aytira1829I’m commenting too, I’d like to know….hope we get notified
@@aytira1829 I took the drug as well my worst were thoughts of killing myself and negativity
@@joachimandersen4068 thank you for sharing !
I had bad skin when I was 15 and treated it with benzac 10 and the other old method calamine lotion over skin at night. Came out with picture perfect skin . My son got it bad from 17 and we used Differin it was amazing cream but on twice a day. My son had it on his arms back and face . He is now 30 and acne came back he is back on Roacctine. Perfect skin and no scars . The Differin cream was great but the other one is a game changer .
I bleached so many pillow cases with benzoyl peroxide !!
2% BHA salicylic acid and 14% glycolic acid = amazing results
Thought the girl in the thumbnail was Jess from Love Island 😅
look like Jess from love island ❤😂
I know both Roaccutane (or Accutane, as we call it in the US) and Spironolactone are very good medicines for Acne patients! She can look into this, if she wants to do that! She was very lucky to have clear skin as a teen-ager!
could be dietary. for many it's dairy
Diet for sure. No dr. will ever talk about that . why not?
I’ve been vegan 3 years to combat acne unfortunately I still get it :/
Yes, it can be this. The skin is what can be termed "psychosomatic." It's connected to the mind-body - especially the gut. Gut and psychological issues often show on the skin. The best approach is a holistic one, in my opinion.
@@zak_taylor1233 It isn't always just dairy. It can be gluten and other inflammatory foods, too. You may want to look into taking digestive enzymes - and see if this makes any difference?
@@zak_taylor1233 Sometimes going vegan does the opposite.
I’ve dealt with moderate-severe acne since I was 9. I’m almost 31 and it’s under control with spironolactone, orthotricyclen, and tretinoin.
I had excruciating acne, it hurt so much. It was swollen. Nothing anyone said worked. Dr said it was cystic acne or hormone related. If this sounds like you, try and have a baby and breastfeed haha been clear ever since! This acne didn't happen until adulthood but i did stop the combined pill after having since i was 13. No GP has ever given me roaccutane
What you wash your hair and conditioner s you use effects your skin a cold tar shampoo helps (polytar) excellent
This drug nearly killed me both physically and mentally.! Its so dangerous….
How?
@@SarahMelissaJones physically I lost my left eye and was unable to walk/move for 6 months, mentally i struggle with PTSD, severe depression, panic attacks and major OCD's...
also in my 30s and also suffering! well, suffering much less cause i started using tretinoin and so far thats the only thing that works
i see people talking about Roaccutane the one thing that worked for me and you cant be on it long term it works as basically a big vitamin A tablet caused my hair , lips and nose to become very dry but as someone who constantly suffered with oily hair and skin it actually did me a favour
Does roaccutane also clears up acne marks?
Lexi is very pretty regardless
😂
Whats so funny @notcountingsheep3361
I went on roaccutane, for only 2 months. It did work, my hair didnt get greasy it was bliss! But then i got joint pain (potential side effect) and got taken off it. My acne slowly came back, but im not willing to try roaccutane again.
Ive been on accutane twice, am currently on Dianette, spironolactone and using topical antibiotics and i STILL dont have perfect skin. So annoying 😢
wait same i’ve been on accutane twice and still have acne!!! ive got a dermatologist appointment soon so hopefully i can get on either spiro or tretinion cream
Zineryt was a game changer for me
... and me!
I wouldn't use a long term antibiotic. Only treats the bacterial infection
Excuse me. I used it for a year and it changed my life. My GP said it was absolutely fine. Stop trying to be a Dr.
Oh yeah and that was 26 years ago. Zineryt was amazing. It was a game changer. It changed my life. I had a superb GP. Job done.
@acquiesce100 I've been using it for around 2 years now under the supervision of my doctor & it's been a Godsend. Whenever I take a short break from it my acne returns, so yes, it's been a game changer for me too & it not also deals with infection it keeps the type of acne we suffer from at bay 😊
I get rid of my acnes and skin infection with fruit fasting no joke my body odor and acnes all gone
All kinds of fruits ?
@@aytira1829 hydrating fruits like watermelons, grapes, oranges, fruits that high in water content… i did it for 40 days only eat fruits my acne gone, i dont have body odor gone, no greasy hair eventho i dont wash my hair for a week, its mindblowing.
@@aytira1829I would like to know too..
I took minocin for bad acne and it worked and a roll stick called dalicin which burns when you put it on but it works 👍
I remember those. Had both those drugs.
@@jaynekittycat9252 hope you are ok now
Well they didn't really give much advice and detail there
I don't agree with how much they are promoting roaccutane in this video. It is not the only answer and its side effects should not be underestimated.
So tru
My acne cured when I stopped consuming dairy and I also use sudacrem
Same thing happened to me in my 20’s I couldn’t tolerate the pill and my skin flared up in acne just like this !
Swapped my pill to dianette cleared my acne up . Some pills contain too much male hormone
Please do hormonal blood tests and investigate gynaecological causes if you are a woman who suddenly develops acne in your twenties. There is a cause, the medical profession doesn’t bother to investigate. Easier to slap on creams and stick someone on drugs.
I would prescribe Androcur.
I have acne on my ballz. what do i do?
Maybe the spot is your ball?
@@claireee6958 😂
have you ever given yourself a wash
@@claireee6958 Adult Ball acne is not a joke claire.
@@Brondi6000 yes.
This is acne. It's so insulting when people with spots and the odd bolder say they have acne. Poor girl. So unfair
See a nutritionist
I went on three trials of roaccutance before my acne was finally gone. It was a horrendous time of my life however I feel so grateful that I was able to access NHS treatment considering how difficult it is to get an appointment now. We need more dermatologists working for the NHS - the issue is so many of them go private because it’s more money for them.
09:30 ... 09/07 wed
Sad fact acne.
Same thing happened to me. I didn’t have it at a teenager. My contraception changed my skin forever. It’s been almost 10 years and 2 rounds of rouaccutane I have semi-clear skin, but lots of acne and scars ☹️
Doctors need to stop prescribing birth control.
👍
So she messed up her hormones by going on hormone based birth control.
True. She probably started talking it for periods though or acne itself
Yup happened to me as well never again
Accutane has no bad effects at all at very low dosage. Not over - dryness or suicidal thoughts
Sorry but it does have terrible side effects that is why the MHRA are tightening up the rules.
Mate just shush
@@frozengamer3030 mate I didn’t even watch the vid u melt
@@emre8678 why did you say shush mate
@@frozengamer3030 because I can just shush mate
TRETINOIN
Isotretinoin has the same dangers it is just another name.
