Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yes I had it - but it appeared on my upper chest around my neck, like a collar. A bunch of tiny white heads. I'm trying to remember, but I think they appeared around day 10-14 and lasted a few days. I don't know what caused them. It could be the " steroids " (we blame everything on the steroids) or maybe the change in diet. Strangely I didn't get them on my face or neck where I'm prone to the occasional " blemish " or whatever (zit?). I didn't eat much ice cream, but I did have lots of Ensure and fruit juice, so that's all I know. The good news is, they go away in a few days.

NOT even close!!! I had them... around the nose! I don't have acne, anywhere. So it came as a surprise. And I never had acne when I was a teenager. As Jay said, it was gone in a a matter of days (10 in my case). They appear around day #5, if I remember correctly. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yep, got them. All around my mouth. They are starting to go away but I was already using acne meds prior to surgery so that is speeding up healing. Hold a hot towel on them a few times a day, usually makes them either go away or come to a head. > has anyone had an issues with " acne like " symptoms? > > i have like " white heads " all around my mouth and on my chin, which i > cant feel by the way...maybe too much sugar intake from the ice > cream??? > > the ones i can feel near my mouth were ichy at first...now just look > yuccky....feel like i am 15 again!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yup me too. Mostly around the upper cheeks. It's amazing how we all experience similar things. I guess that's what makes this board so good. > has anyone had an issues with " acne like " symptoms? > > i have like " white heads " all around my mouth and on my chin, which i > cant feel by the way...maybe too much sugar intake from the ice > cream??? > > the ones i can feel near my mouth were ichy at first...now just look > yuccky....feel like i am 15 again!!!!!

I wanna hear about the first patient who wins 1 million... perhaps this will later become the case for all of us, just as the swelling, numbness, and Ensure.. ;-) Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
