[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285947, member: 1233"] First of all, thank you to anyone who reads and responds, commiserates, and or just thinks of Jessie. On top of all the other stuff she has had to face, Jessie's acne is out of control. Up to now we kept getting the "it is just mild. Use OTC products like oxy or proactive." directions from the pediatrician. Just lately though it has spread down her arms almost to the elbow, all over her back and even all over her breasts. The zits are NOT small and are NOT blackheads. They go very deep and end up with nasty painful looking scabs. She tries her hardest not to rub or pick at them. They actually HURT, even just having a shirt or bra rub on them is painful. We are doing proactive because Gma bought some for Wiz and he refused to even use it. By the time Gma realized he wasn't using it she had paid for 4 months worth of product. Proactive helps some with her face. Not so much with the rest of her though. Pretty much the docs are blowing this off in light of the other problems. I don't want her on a bunch of medications if it isn't needed, but I am actually starting to worry about the health of her breasts. the zits actually go right up to the nipple and seem very deep. Any advice? Suggestions? Does anyone know if it can interfere with breast development or leave scarring that would make it hard for her to nurse a child? (I ask because one of the zits burst and it actually stained through her top - which was NOT tight.) (Hope that is not too gross, sorry.) She sure does NOT need any more problems, but she is handling things better than I would. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
