Talking Acne

Acne and sleeping

Question:

I asked my dermatologist the same question before and he told me that it doesn’t worsen acne to sleep on you face. Good luck Kevin

Response:

        First, let me just say thanks to all the posters in this ng. You’ve all made me optimistic about the effectiveness of Accutane, which I’ve just started on — here’s hoping!         Anyway, I had a question about sleeping habits. All my life, I have slept on my front with the side of my face on the pillow. About 8 months ago I thought that maybe that was part of the acne problem — oil getting in the pores and the such. So, I began sleeping on my back. But, after seeing no improvement (even a worsening — hence the Accutane), I have switched back to sleeping on my front.         So, the question is, would sleeping with my face on the pillow cause any signifigant increase in acne? Thanks.
