I'm Sick, Couponing, And Can't Get Son's Acne Cleared Up

I've commandeered my son's laptop for the day since he's sick and is sleeping. I'm hoping it's just a head cold, especially since I woke up this morning sneezing and sneezing and sneezing some more. Fortunately, I had no where I had to be and have sat on the recliner and typed (and web surfed) all day. I have pork ribs slow cooking in the oven and a candle burning. I'm drinking hot green tea with a little honey and just ate an apple and took some Emergen-C. So, hopefully it's just a swine cold and not the swine flu and we'll be all better soon.

Yesterday I did some grocery shopping and I actually had time to clip and use coupons. I saved $14.63 at one store and $6.70 at another and that didn't include all the bargains I found at our local salvage shop.

One of the things I purchased, for just $2.09, was the Nature's Cure Two-Part Acne Treatment. My son has had acne for a couple years now, and I've tried a lot of different products for it. The one that did the best was Clincal Care, but it seems to not be working as well as it initially did.

My friend says his acne may be related to the amount of orange juice he drinks, but I've cut him back on that and he's still broke out.

I'd like him to visit our dermatologist, I've even offered to pay for the visits so he could receive acne treatments, but he says that it's just part of being a teen and will eventually go away.

I hope it's sooner than later before he gets scars!

  2. When I was younger, if I slept less my acne went away. I don't know the reason.

  3. My acne went after a course of Isotretinoin (eg Roaccutane) it was pretty intense and dried me out like a piece of bacon in the desert, but it worked for me.
