Hey Doctor! Can you please suggest an oral antibiotic for inflammatory acne of the type pustules/papules?
Does taking vitamin D3 work?
Just a quick question, i had pretty bad acne on my t zone mostly but nows its basically cleared. Now im dealing blackheads, oily t zone, and sensitive skin. My skincare routine currently conissts of ceraves sa cleanser(am and pm), prescribed adapelene, cetaphils oil absorbing moisturizer on my t zone, and ceraves moisturizing lotion for the rest of my face. My face dry and my t zones oily. Any suggestions?
@@Joebartsgrandma your routine seems pretty good for combination skin, the only thing I can say is drink more water.
I don't think doc will reply
Any update on this
As a dermatologist I love your videos, they're really educational, well summarized, very funny and most important they speak the to truth with no bull s***, i'm honestly really tired of many ,so called influencers, and sadly some colleagues who try to sell skin care products in someway that they forget that we are scientist first of all and we shouldnt play with patient expectations, keep going doing an excellent job!😊😊
Very kind of you! My main aim is to focus on the science and be blunt/transparent with any subject, even if being ‘too honest’ often means slowing your own success 😂
I am on accutane rn for mild but persistent acne. I am 20 , i just wanted to know, if i can use Tretinoin cream after my accutane treatment is over. And will it cause any purging further ? , since i have completed my treatment. Please help .
Well said, I've recently started to find resentment for the skin care culture & their sales teams... never fun to go to a 'doctor' and leave worse than you arrived..:( It would be nice to have a new centralized health authority vs the legacy cooperate mess we confuse for medical care today.
Amazing
@@usamasyed Brother please reply. My doctor prescribed me to take ethidox lb 100 for 1month but i continued it only for 19 days my face got much better than i discontinued it & now after almost 1.5 month my acne/ pimples came back.
Now I was thinking to restart talking ethidox lb 100 for 1 month properly.so can i ?
Edit:- I'm 18 years old
Finally seen a dr who didn’t sponsor any product to the audience authentic information with steps for every acne treatment👍🏻
The best video ive ever watched concerning face care towards acne
As a 50-year old with scarring on my face, chest and back from years of severe cystic acne in my teens and 20s, I have educated myself on how to keep my skin and maybe most importantly, my children's skin clear., so they don't have to go through what I did. Very good summary! Thanks!!
does he have vid on skin brightening? if yes pl share the link...I am 47 BTW
I would love to know what you use and your routine. Sugar exacerbates my cystic acne
One minute into the video, I already smiled and subscribed. I hope I’d get a solution to my acne by the end of the video. Thank you Doc
I wish I could have had access to all this info when I was growing up. Thanks again, Usama for such an educational and yet entertaining video!
My pleasure!!
Hi Doc, thank you so much for your vids. It's really reassuring to see qualified people like you being completely honest with all these buzz about skincare. I've been trying to educate myself a lot of times with what products to use but I'm always dissatisfied with influencers and their claims not backed up by studies at all.
Anyway, I'd like to know more about pores and if it's really possible to either completely remove them or at least significantly make them invisible. I have very visible pores and most of the time it's more visible especially during humid days. Is there any non-BS way of improving it? Or is it mostly genetics?
Ooo my!!!
You arrrreeee..... incredible!!!
I'll keep this video to keep coming back to learn and relearn!
Wow, wow, wow!
Lots of respect from Nairobi, Kenya.
Definitely subscribed!
As a doctor I love your videos. It’s actually inspired me to start my own vlog channel.
Had acne for ages and then an endocrinologist prescribed me spironolactone and within a week my hair started falling out in chunks and has never been the same since. Biggest mistake I’ve ever made. In the end I had to go on two courses of roaccutane and that exacerbated my hair shedding and thinned out the texture of my hair. My acne is gone but it took my best feature with it.
How long did your treatment last?
I absolutely love how fast and thorough you explain things 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!
Great videos brother. Now if you could do a video on eye skin care ,like this one, that would be great. There's so much confusion out there about what works and what not , so eagerly waiting for your take on this .
I'm happy you're doing skincare videos again. Informative and no fluff!
nah as he said in the video hes working on his own product. hes selling out
Dr. Syed I love your videos. Helped me get a good skincare routine I actually stick to and gained tons of knowledge while saving tons of money!
Ahh love to hear this!
Thank you for your informative, easy-to-apply and honest videos. In this ocean of different information to find something reliable and professional is really difficult. I really tried to find real professionals that know their work and have education, not just cosmetologist or plastic surgeon, but real doctors with science-based stuff, and finally I found dermatologist, who really knows about skin and hair. I would love to see a video about psoriasis treatment possibilities with pros&cons, and video about hair dandruff problems, like how to fight dry dandruff and oily dandruff (psoriasis and dandruff does not regard to one person in this context).
Great future video ideas, will add them to my list!
You are an amazing dermatologist! Thank you for being so honest! This is soooo rare nowadays when everyone tries to sell so much stuff. So much respect for you! Could you please recommend cruelty-free moisturizers? Many brands like CeraVe, Neutrogena, etc are kinda shady, say they don't test on animals ''unless required'' in China or through suppliers, or through a third party. So they actually do test. We'd love to know really good cruelty-free products.
Honestly I'm not an expert on the 'cruelty-free' genres because I feel like most of the information on it is inconsistent and misleading e.g. brands that advertise as 'cruelty free' will still use ingredients that have been tested by OTHER companies and become part of the FDA 'approved monograph' allowing them to be used in the cosmetics in the US.
@@usamasyed Thank you very much for the quick reply! Do you have any thoughts on Revolution Skincare? That's what I've been using, they say their products are cruelty-free, they are inexpensive and seem quite ideal.
The whole “cruelty-free” thing is BS that companies use to charge you more for their products, so don’t let that claim be the reason why you buy or don’t buy a skincare product.
A lot of the leading brands do lots of research before launching a new product with new ingredients. They have to test on animals to make sure it’s safe for humans. Your cruelty-free brands benefit from that research, so it’s just hypocritical to shop from “cruelty-free” brands.
Thank you for posting this video because I have struggled for acne for my entire teen years but it has gotten better it sometimes reappears from time to time
Would love to see a video on the treatments of acne scarring (microneedling, laser, CO2, chemical peels, etc)
have one on my channel!
@@usamasyedlink?
You are that rare creature who is informative and entertaining! I have been very successful in treating my cystic acne with tretinoin 0.05%, spironolactone 100mg, salicylic acid wash in am, benzoyl peroxide wash in pm 4% and lactic acid twice a week. After a hysterectomy in 2014 my skin went apeshit and it took a while of OTC attempts that did nothing until I finally saw a Dr. Now I have my routine and I cleared up the hyperpigmentation and get a breakout very very seldom. Dermatologists are heroes, we are vain humans and having to conceal and cover and disguise to just exist was exhausting. Now I do my routine, see my Dr a few times a year and live my life. Thanks for all you do!
This is my favourite comment so far! Love hearing a happy story like this, and so glad you got the help you needed!
This was a super helpful video!
Thank you once again for your knowledge. I signed up for the email part. Again, thank you! God has blessed you with great knowledge of skin, and I am thankful for you sharing.
thank you for the kind words!
Awesome video! I love it as a cause & treatment overview for the hormonal cystic acne, but what about the solid cleansing regime in the morning and in the evening as a very important part of it? Because the dirt, make-up, sweat, etc. that is unproperly cleansed off the face with acne is a) clogging b) contributing the spread of bacteria, c) preventing the products to penetrate... Plus, the improper cleansers (too oily or too stripping) mess the barrier up. Can you talk a little bit about that? 🤗
I got to know all this because i watched many videos on acne, why you took so long to make a video like this.
This video is amazing
Accutane changed my life and love ya content Dr. Syed because you keep it a buck. Salute!!!
Really Good, Very Helpful👍🏻😍
Im waiting on your retinoid cream! Hope it will contained hyperpigmentation ingredient like alpha arbutin and kojic acid 😅of course niacinamide but it has to be other lightening ingredients than niacinamide! Before launch i can try it out… i like skincare and tretinoin is my Gold ingredient
haha make sure you fill out the form as I'll be looking for feedback and testers!
@@usamasyed I did ☺️
Amazing work doc❤❤
Thank you so much, Very good video,no unnecessary yapping,just straight to the point 👍
Thanks for your teachings I learnt alot
Stumbled on your video and i love yoir content new subscriber now😊❤
Bravooooooo ❤❤❤❤❤ what a video, so comprehensive yet compassionate and funny! Doxy and benzoyl peroxide (which i avoided for 14 years) cleared up bad back acne I had for my twenties and thirties. Knowledge (and not advertising) is power. Thanks for the public dermatology Dr!
Dr Usama is one of the rare dermatologists we can trust✔🏃🏻♀️
Very kind of you!
Second this
You are actually so cute, besides providing information, you actually make people laugh as well. Keep the good work up. Hope to see some new videos very soon.
Very kind of you, thank you!
Thanks doc. You made the video adorable, loved it
Gained a new SUB😊 this is impressive 🌹
Also another pro tip for acne is changing your pillowcase regularly. At least once a week lol. That + retinoids cleared up my acne.
Not a huge believer in the role of pillowcases in acne
@usamasyed I have acne prone skin. My skin is oily still at 40. Other the years I have learned that my skin is also extremely sensitive and as a reaction I get more acne. The blemishes look like my regular acne and not allergic reactions. Although I can also get allergic reactions. No Dermatologist found out or even tried to investigate that part. Avoiding fragrance, alcohol essential oils, flower water like rose water or moisturizers with a lot of oils have helped a lot. VitC and leave on salycilic acid products also trigger my scne. The list is long. But it's under control now.I found out by myself by trials and errors over the years since I started to get acne at 13. Using acne fighting ingredients have helped of course. But changing my pillow case often 2/week for me using a special small towel for my face everyday has also helped. I saw the difference when I did and when I did not. It's unfortunate that many Dr who see acne prone skin never consider that it could also be sensitive. Most products that target acne are harsh including many medications I tried in the past. Thankfully I have a Dermatologist now who understands that, because he has seen it enough times in his many years of practice (he is close to retirement) so he does not look at me like a crazy person... like other Dermatologists I had in the past but who did not even help.
If acne was that simple to treat nobody would have it. People who suffer from acne follow Dr advice to the T with hope that it will stop until they have to face the truth when it's not working. Treating acne is not as simple as black and white. This or that protocol/ingredient followed by the book is not always helping patients and other the years we often have to learn our skin ourselves.
@@usamasyedif you got oily hair and skin, I can see why it wouldn’t hurt
He gave this tip.
@@usamasyedme too coz I m suffering it since 3months now only I hve problem not before and I used to change my bedsheets and pillows after 15,days😊
YOUR CHANNEL IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD🔥✨ KEEP IT UP👍 Man.
Very helpful video ❤
Thanks for your knowledge
thank you doc.
tomorrow im finally going to start with ny skincare regimen, i wanted to go to a derm but all my family said this "dermatologist dont want to see mild acne" so ill try to use the active you suggested and see how this goes for now.
my inflamed acne is mostly gone i only have quite a bit of closed comedones under skin
i know alot of the over the counter info from my great skincare refresher from yesrs ago but this was such a good refresher, SO MUCH INFO SO GOOD!! ❤❤ and i learned a-lot about prescription stuff, nice
🙌🏼
Why can't i like it for hundred times 👏👏👏 informative as well as the way you create your video is so good.
Keep creating keep awairing. Stay happy doctor.
Thank you, Amna!
Very nicely explained doc!
Also cuteness overload 😘...
i love your way of explaining things bro ma sha Allah.
Thank you!
This video is extremely detailed
Thank you so much I’m definitely taking note I reacted badly to Clindamycin & not gone back cause I’m just tired
I go in next week & showing them this video
Thank You for making this video. Could you also make one on hyperpigmentation from the sun please? I've tried anything but don't know what to do anymore. Thank You and keep up the great content.
I’m 67 years old and I have tried everything to get rid of dark spots. Nothing has worked for me. I tried triluma and I was so happy with the result. My skin was beautiful. They came back and now,not even triluma works. I use sunscreen every single day. My sun screen is at least 50 and I reapply every 2 hrs.
@@rosalina4556riluma is a mild steroid and hydroquinone, neither of which is supposed to be long term. That why it comes back. I believe the last of the tri is tret?
@@rosalina4556that really sucks . Hv u tried hydroquinone?
Have seen so many but you are the best... Love you dr ... Love from India❤
ASWK WRWB. Please make a video for oily skin and something for open pores as well! JazakAllah Khayr! May Allah bless you with more wisdom with afiyah.
love ur vids
Well explained 👏🏻
Hello Doc.. First of all i want to say that your awsome and most sincere person that i have heard in TH-cam chanels .. i have been watching all your videos and i love all of them what i could not find is nothing abut seborrheic dermatitis. Please make a video abut this i would love to have your opinion.. love you and your chanel...
Please talk about hair loss. I am dealing with it and I need an unbiased guide like this one!!!!
Watching this video at night 2AM(In india) you are really a great person man,i wish i could meet you if possible...😊
Dr. Usama, never in my life have i met a dermatologist who's funny, informative and just down right good looking like you 😅🎉 i would probably be one of the first to buy your retinoid cream 👍🤝 love your content and keep up the great work Dr.
So sweet of you to say, thank you!!
Nice video on acnes
I've tried for months to get rid of acne and kept failing. I even made it a bit worse, I think it was a result of being too aggressive. This gave me a new insight on what I've been not doing, so thank you! And yes, I also get an immediate acne breakout whenever I think about pizza.
Totally agree that often the speed of trying to get results makes people short-term overdo things and it gets worse!
Massive knowledge 🎉
Your video Dr Syed was very informative and helpful. I suffered acne skin problems very long time ago. I am sure this is the video that explain specifically on how skin problems like i have and how to cure it. Thank you so much. Perhaps this time i can find the 1😊. Seriously thank you. I will message if there'll be improvement with my face😊
Impressive video.i will apply your advise
Dr. Usama, I just discovered your content. You´re funny and I think my skin gets better only watching your videos okurr
Great explanation Dr Usama. Just curious to know how you created those animations for explanations.
Thanks a lot 😩❤️
Can you please do a video on reducing hyperpigmentation? Also how to tell if dark spots from picking are HP or genuine scars?
great video!
Thank you!
Thank you 🎉
* *watching the video at midnight* *
😂 importance of sleep hits different during the late night binges!
We’re looking forward to your products, Dr Usama! ❤
Looking forward to launching once I’m 100% happy with them!
@@usamasyedyey! We’re excited!!
Dr.Syed Im a big fan of your none bs way of reviewing products. Please review the iRestore Professional 282 Laser Hair Growth Device!
Would love a more in depth look at FDA approved fillers like bellafill and their long term efficacy. Its the most non talked about filler ever and never gets any buzz as a filler minus acne scarring
Hey Usama, could you make a video on hyperpigmentation and scarring from eczema. I see many videos online adressing acne scarring but would be so helpful to see i fo regarding others types of scars especially on POC. 😊
Will add to my list!
You are really one of the most transparent person i had ever seen,GREAT man,love from INDIA🇮🇳
Very kind of you, thank you! 🙌🏼
@@usamasyed i wish,i could meet you if possible...☺️
For me, my face will get acne pretty bad if I regularly eat oily things. So, if I avoid eating anything cooked with oil, my face stays a lot more clear.
Very informative and basic👍
🙌🏼
I come under that 15% people who have never experienced acne ,I am here not to show off but to gain knowledge from Dr Usama Syed😊
You get a pass in that case
@@usamasyed 😂😂😂
Haha love your sense of humour!! Great video ❤
so excited for your videos usama,always👍🏽😍😍
Thank you!!
Hi usama,
1.Which skincare routine you recommended for face that is applicable for body also?
As you said just a gentle cleanser / moisturizer/ sunscreen / adapelene at night. Exfoliate once in a week.
2. Using sunscreen reduce tanning and pigmentation also?
Great video! From my personal experience I noticed that my male hairloss medication Finasteride also reduced my acne.
Absolutely can happen! Reduced levels of potent androgens can help both
Best video!
thank you!
😂 brother you got my life-long subscription, you won my heart bud, May Allah bless you.
hahaa thanks bro!
