Response:
How old are you JP, and how long did you suffer with acne?
I’ll be 25 in a few weeks. I started with acne when I was about 13 ish. Went to the doctors for a year or 2 but nothing happened. Got referred to hospital and tried an experimental treatment, which didn’t work. Then got ruaccatane (see my other posts in the acne thread), which always works but at a price (side-effects and cost). Got rid of it when I was about 16, but the scars will always remain. The last time I went to the hospital they took a skin sample from a scar in my back to analyse, never heard from them again so I take it that means there is nothing they can do. — JP

Yes I have checked. There was some kind of treatment available, but it was very expensive and had a 20% success rate, failure made it worse. Besides, alot of my scars are not just visible marks, but unsightly lumps. There really is nothing I can do about it. The treatment I actually had from the hospital for my acne has an unfortunate side effect of scarring, which can be quite severe, as is my case. (admittidly this treatment was made known to me several years ago so things could have changed, even so there is no way I can afford it). — JP

Response:
Thank you JP and Julia! When I say *my fault* I guess I wish I wasnt as sensitive to looks as I am now – it often makes me very insecure, and my depression doesnt make it any better – it partially contributed to my situational depression. Thank you both for your kind words. My girlfriend thinks I am very cute, and on the odd occasion when my skin aint so bad, Im more confident. People often tell me Im nice inside – and I think I realise this (blush) – but I do place a lot of emphasis on my external appearance – something I never used to until I got acne.

Question:
I started school again. Im a Junior. Anyway, a LOT of people, who have been clean pored people look way worse than I do! One of the, past, hottest chicks, is now majorly broken out. I feel their pain, and I dont judge. But I feel a little better, seeing others who are worse than I. Ryan
Response:
Actually, and this is a from a person who has been greatly affected by his acne, being broken out can be one of the worst things that one has to endure, but endure it you must if you are to succeed. Let me tell you, people will accept you for who you are, if you don’t act like a "zit-face." Acne is a battle, and kicking it in the shins is the best thing you can do. Say to yourself, "I’m not a monster." Talk to people, show them what an awesome person you are, and above all, DON’T WALLOW IN SELF-PITY as I did for three whole months during the summer. Learn to live with yourself, and everything will be ten times easier. DON’T withdraw from your friends, beacause you are afraid they won’t accept you. They will be you rock to lean on if they are truly your friends. Acne is an obstacle, and like any such obstacle, it can be overcome. Look to the future, and visualize how much better you will look 6 months from now. If you really need to, pretend to yourself that your face is clear! Do whatever you can, because acne is not enough to end your life, literally or emotionally or socially. All these things are more important in the long run both for you, and your health. If you can do these things, you will be so much happier! Go to the doctor. DO WHATEVER it takes, but just assure yourself that you WILL win against acne in the end. It may be in the future, but with time acne will fail. You will win.

Question:
I am considering going on a course of Accutane and am a social drinker (NOT an alcoholic) – do you have to stop drinking altogether? I have heard that because Accutane can weaken the liver, drinking can be extremely dangerous. Is this true? Also If I don’t decide to go on Accutane just yet, I may try one last course of Oxytetracycline. Does anyone know if there is a difference between Oxtetracycline and Tetracycline? Any answers would be appreciated.
Response:
The best antibiotic SPECIFICALLY for acne is called "MONODOX", itis a tetracycline deriviative and is made by Oclassen; however, it did not work that great for me; unfortunately there is no substitute for Accutane. P.S. Drinking Alchohol makes me break out, although they say drinking does not! I welcome all comments! Sincerely,
Response:
I was a student at university whilst taking accutane. i certainly drank a LOt of beer. i did not get any abnormal effects appart from blurred vision, a tendancy to shout, and periods of leching at all the girls, followed bya headache the next day. all usuall then!! i did find though that apart from the dry cracked lips and occasional nose bleeds that i had a pretty short temper and mood swings. but i had my finakls at the same time and was under some stress. i have been essentially clear since then (3 years plus) after about 10 years of wicked acne. go for it i say. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -I am considering going on a course of Accutane and am a social drinker..
Response:
I am a social drinker too, but I had to stop while I was on accutane because I got really bad headaches after drinking. The first time happened I thought it was just becuase I was tired or something, but after a few more times, I realized that it was the alcohol and the accutane that was giving me the headaches. That and the fact that my derm told me it would happen….. :) I would just avoid it…a few months of not drinking isn’t going to kill your social life.. :) good luck!

Question:
About 1 1/2 ago I had my jaw set back. I want to go back to my derm and get back on accutane because my acne has been flaring up for months now. I am just wondering if accutane will have any negative effects on my jaw bone healing?
Response:
Accutane does have side effect of bone changes but significance of this change is unknown. And that’s all the information that’s given from Roche and other reports says pretty much the same.
Response:
Question:
Hi, I started my first course of accutane about a month and a half ago at 60mg/day. My results have been fairly good, and I am getting the usual side-effects. One side-effect I have received that I had not counted on and I find very discouraging is that the size of my pores has dramatically increased on my nose and in the area immediately beside my nose. Well, I can’t really say for sure that my pores are bigger — it’s not really something I can measure — but I can definitely see my pores now I have never had a problem with my pores before (well, except I guess that their clogging causes my acne) so I refuse to believe that the change is unrelated to accutane. I went into deja news and found that many people have had the same problem. However I found an article from Dr. Bark that stated that accutane does not change the size of your pores. So really do not know what to think. What I’m really concerned about is that this will be a permanent problem or if is a temporary side effect. My acne was only moderately severe when I started to take it and I’m beginning to wonder if it was worth it. Normally I’d ask my derm about this but I can’t see him for a few weeks. Any input on this matter from anybody who has experienced this problem or knows anything about it would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Huang
Response:
Peter, It’s my opinion that AC just re-lines the openings of the pores with a better type of cells that don’t tend to jam the oil gland shut and don’t tend to cause new acne. That is the major benefit of AC. I have no evidence that the pores are actually bigger. However, their content of sebum (oil) may be different now, and that may make them look different. Usually, these tend to clear up somewhat on the latter stages of the course of AC. See what you think. Good to talk with you! Dr. Joe

Question:
OK. Call me lazy. I waited too long to maintain my tablesaw cast iron top, and now there are a few rust patches. Some scrubbing with WD40 doesn’t seem to do the trick completely, and I was wondering if someone had some other tips or tricks. Also, I don’t intend to have to do this again, and have read that paste wax is a good protector for the top. Will butchers wax do the job, or is there some other product that works better. Thanks!
Best stuff I have found is the Boeing T-9. They make a rust remover and a preventor. If it good enough for airplanes…It works great on tools but watch the remover, it is an acid and will damage finishes, follow the directions :[ Bill
Response:
Near as I can tell, you guys are talking about rust on a table saw top so here’s my 2 (there’s no cents key!!) cents… A few weeks ago there was a post from a guy regarding using a random orbiting sander with progessively finer sandpaper (and some special purpose (micron?), down to like 600grit or so) to clean up a ts top (we’re talking Unisaw-heavy steel, so for less robust make sure it can take it). Unfortunately, I took the article home so I can’t give you the name or title for dejanews. I tried a modified version of this idea – only using 220 grit sandpaper in the ro sander and – wow – it worked great! I got some Butcher’s wax to seal it, though I haven’t had time to do this last step. I too used the top as a general purpose table and set all kinds of things on it and did all kinds of work – so it had paint stains, rust, etc. It looks terrific now. As noted in the post, make sure there’s no silicon in the sealant. Renata – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – OK.

WD40 and 600 grit wet/dry paper has worked for me, followed by a good paste wax for wood. Gary
Response:
A product called "Naval Jelly" applied with the use of a wire brush will get rid of the rust. It is a fairly common product and should be available in hardware stores, auto parts houses, etc. Johnson’s paste wax works fine to prevent rust and lubricate working surfaces for easier wood sliding, but waxes can contain products that can interfere with some finishes (lacquer for one). A spray product named "Top Coat" will do the same job without the associated finishing problems, allbeit at a higher cost. A large can will run $9-$10 but should last the year or so. Both work. I found years ago that my cast iron tops needed less applications as time went on, to the point now that I lube when wood drags rather than for rust protection. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – OK.

Response:
Naval Jelly will etch the hell out of iron or steel. If rust ever returns, it’s going to be _much_ worse. Naval Jelly should only be used on surfaces you intend to prime and paint. WD40 and ScotchBrite will do the job fine. Don’t try to restore a silvery, brand new tone to the metal. It won’t last. Soon, you’ll learn that cast iron’s natural greyish brown tone is actually very attractive. And a hell of a lot easier to maintain. There’s two milder products you might be interested in if you don’t care for the hours of fun rubbing in WD40 to watch a beautiful woodowrking machine slowly emerge. DuPont sells a phosphoric-acid based "Metal Prep", a blue liquid that you dilute with 2 parts water. Apply it with a rag, and keep the surface wet until the rust fades. Let dry, then polish with steel wool to take off the dried residue. Automotive paint dealers carry the product. The other rust remover goes by the name "Nevr-Dull Magic Wadding Pads". Looks like Stridex acne pads. Does a fine job on mild rust with little effort. Your local hardware store should carry it. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – A product called "Naval Jelly" applied with the use of a wire brush will get rid of the rust.

I can’t give you any help on the scars, but many people report significant improvements with their acne after going on a predominately vegan and uncooked diet. You usually start this approach with a general body detoxication program. If you’re interested in this, you can get a free how-to-do-it article by a British naturopath Good luck!

Question:
I have a four-month-old Tiel (Cupid) and I would like to know what to expect when he (??) molts. I know the crown colour will change if a male .. but do all the feathers come out at once? .. should i give special vitiamins? .. I really want to be a good dad. No….the bird will take on a dull and rather shabby appearance and lose feathers gradually. If it is a male, it will start to go through a color change first. Little patches of yellow will poke through the grey, and he’ll look like an adolescent with acne. He’ll start being a lot more vocal and will start to strut and display.
Are you giving vitamins now? Nekton has a vitamin called BIO which is high in the B vitamins and is especially made for feathering problems and moulting. Use it sparingly. I would prefer to use Nekton MSA which is a mineral and amino acid supplement. I would use this on a regular basis…. like maybe 3 times per week on food (veggies, or rice and bean/corn mix).
