Problem Solved!

Well, there is good news on the Skin Anarchy front. I ended up going to a dermatologist last week, since my skin wasn't getting better - and the Benzoyl Peroxide was actually giving me a nasty rash!

It turns out that I *do not* have adult acne, as I'd originally suspected (thank goodness). Instead, I have rosacea ... which looked - and kind of felt - like adult acne, along with giving me some nice redness in my face. It also explains why on the few instances that I'd have an adult drink or two, my face would flame up something awful - as well as that strong reaction to the benzoyl peroxide.

So, I'm on antibiotics (oral and topical) and I'm supposed to avoid anything labeled "for acne" or "to treat acne", since that would just make things worsle. Not to mention that my beloved caffeine has to be meted out rather carefully - two caffeinated drinks within 6 hours will get my face hot as hell ("cold compresses needed" hot) while the rest of me stays at a normal temperature.

All in all, I'm just glad that the problem has been solved - and that it will get better, or close to it. :)
