Skin Problems

I have had skin problems for about the last 30-40 years. It started as chronic acne, and got worse over the years. I tried many treatments for this purpose. Although I tried many things, including cupping and different creams and medications, I could not get successful results. Isn't it strange that a know-it-all like me can't cure himself? You know what they say, physician, heal thyself. I don't trust dermatologists, they are all thieves. I'm researching natural treatments.

I tried many creams and teas. I still drink thyme tea and bitter gourd tea from time to time. I have also prepared thyme soap, vein flower soap, oleander soap, and marshmallow flower soap and use them alternately. Upon someone's suggestion, I boiled walnut shells and pine leaves and made soap, suspecting bacteria, but this did not work either. I can even say it got worse.

It does not prevent me from working, but it affects my quality of life very negatively. If anyone has similar experiences on these issues and would like to share it, I would like to read it.

I don't think this information will help you but here goes.

I have a very oily face but very dry hands.  I use my face to moisturize my hands.

I don't think this information will help you.

Neither I.

God does this when he is mad at you. This is well known. You must get right with God and then your skin will be blemish free. Remember the Miriam story? Repent, atone!

Stfu! 

This is devils attack, God does not intervene.

It could also be karma.

Do you recall executing monstrous acts in a past life where you also had skin problems?

Come on. I expect concrete suggestions from you guys. Not such sophisticated philosophical theories.

Have you seen a doctor about it?

Have you seen a doctor about it?

Many times, years ago. Many treatments have been tried, including antibiotic therapy. none of them worked. I haven't been to a doctor for the last 4 years because I lost my faith in doctors.

God does not intervene.

Not with that attitude! You must do the ritual cleansing. Do you know any local Levites by any chance? Have you a prophet nearby?

No, I do not, even a standart jew around me. Guess you are mocking.

Try oral isotretinoin treatment, your skin will dry out, need to apply dermocosmetics lotion.

I used Roaccutane, whose active ingredient is isotretinoin, for about 6 months. It didn't work. The only side effect was that my lips cracked, but other than that, it had no positive or negative effects.

I think my problem is caused by edema. This is caused either by the edema itself or by a defense mechanism developed by the body to eliminate the edema. That's why classical methods don't work. This is my guess.

God does not intervene.

Maybe you should be asking yourself why doesn't he?

I asked it myself and I answered. For God there is no good or bad. Everything that exists is one, God is a part of that One, and everything is good. That's why God doesn't interfere with anything. However, if one of the fronts bullies the other or goes to extremes, then it gets involved. I guess I having acne doesn't fall into that category and God won't interfere.

The world is run by a simulationist, God has nothing to do with it. It just like God doesn't interfere with Zuckerberg running the beta universe. The simulationist devil who rules our world clearly doesn't like me because I'm smarter, better, more moral, more honest than he is, and this has nothing to do with God. In fact, he doesn't even believe in God, and I'm sure he would like it if I didn't believe in God either.

So it is the simulationist herself who motivates you, crouton and boyster to say that God has any negative influence on this matter. So from here it tends to weaken my belief in God. Nah! He is such a person that he makes you serve in his army by making you telling yourself that you will never serve him.

are you sure?

It would be great if any of us were doctors.  But it's not the sort of advice we're qualified to give.

I'm more qualified to give life coaching or dating advice.  Have you considering dating a life coach who is also a dermatologist?

If any of you were doctors, I wouldn't care about your answer. I hope that someone interested in herbalism will read this topic. Actually, Johnyboy's advice wasn't bad. If he had approached the subject from the perspective of herbalism rather than medicine, I would have taken it into consideration. That's bad luck. I'm not hopeful about the moderation team anyway. The advice you give may be official, such as going to the doctor or taking Pfizer's poisonous pills. I want to try my luck by waiting for the answers of people knowledgeable about herbalism. Oh, if you have a herbalist lover, I can take his suggestions into consideration.

have you thought about painting yourself blue

The only natural antibiotic I know about is raw honey.

I think I can try this.

Having worked in a dermatologists office and having one in the family, I can say they aren't all thieves. We would frequently give out free treatment to those that couldn't afford it or were single moms etc. That said, I doubt it means much coming from a face swapped fellow such as myself.

You don't need a Jew, necessarily. There are prophets of all walks. Have you had any especially vivid dreams lately? You could be the very prophet you seek...

I don't think the problem or the solution is spiritual. If you know about hermatic solutions, I am ready to listen to you.

Having a face swapped does not mean you have skin problems, nor you do not know the hermatic solutions.

I am almost certain that being face swapped means I would have skin problems.

You may have done it for pleasure or to impersonate someone else. You know, actually the second one. For example, if you want to kill someone and take their place, you may want to make your face look like them. This seems plausible, even for you. Actually, it makes more than enough sense.

Wait, if it's acne, have you tried accutane (isotretinoin)? It's almost guaranteed to work, the only problem is that for maybe the first 3-6 months it may get worse. But it really does kill acne. If it's acne, then go to a dermatologist and tell them you want isotretinoin and they will tell you the details. I had isotretinoin for my acne when I was a teen, the first months were pretty nasty (it doesn't just make your acne worse at first, it also dries your skin a bunch, so I had to use a lip balm constantly because my lips would crack all the time), but then it completely vanished after some time, and never came back. In some people it does come back after some years, but certainly less strong and more manageable. But everything else is hit or miss, that's the only thing that works reliably.

I know it's not "natural" but I know it works. If it makes you feel better, isotretinoin is basically kinda like vitamin A and it does occur naturally in your body.

Can't cure acne.

Repent.

This but unironically.

I tried accutane, it didn't work, it even got worse. I believed in doctors then. Since I no longer believe in anything in medical (so-called) science, I do not believe in doctors or the drug called Accutane. I have started raw honey for 3 days, I consider it as antibiotic treatment and it has a duration of two weeks. I haven't seen any effects yet, but I will use it for another 12 days. If you have such suggestions, I am ready to take them into consideration.
