I have noticed them in most small and large drugstores around town. Shouldn't be all that hard to find.

I've been having break outs off an on since a trip to New Orleans last year. I think 5 days of Bourbon Street finally pushed my body past the point of no return. For the record I'm talking about acne not herpes or genital warts which are probably also common after a trip to the Big Easy.

i have had a full allergy workup last year, i'm allergic to pollen, cats, dogs, horses, and almost everything in denmark, but no link to acne.
i think i need to get some of the peeling masks, despite clear blue skies, tokyo is quite dirty and i think i'm getting cloggy pores.

The one from the municipal hospital finally did a proper examination. Which took all of a minute... Scrtch a bit of skin, look under microscope. Like any giod vet would have done first.

I'm looking forward to doing that tomorrow...I think it's the sugi pollen but whatever I'm allergic to can only be held at bay with a mickey of claratin, allegra, and zyrtec. Even then my eyes and nose are still irritated.

I also think my spots are related to not drinking enough water. Back in DK i was on 2-3 litres a day and even through super dry winter I had clear skin. I have gotten lazy about it here. Expensive habit though. Water isn't that cheap and the tap water is awful.

I get 5 litres/100円 from the distilled water machine at the local supermarket. What does it run in the Big Mikan?

Yep, vets are the choice of discerning patients everywhere.
S'all good, man.

I don't have any AEON near me (i don't think...). I've got Hanamasa and Maretsu Petit.

Sheeee-it. I am over 60 and still have acne.
Mike Oxlong wrote:Seems the Family Mart chain, which is about 45% of the island market, still carries it (Fibe Mini). Will try to have a look the next time I go into a Lawson, which has something like a 35% share. Coco's is the local chain rounding out the market, and I will have a look there too, one of these days.
