The quest for beauty................

The last post was about using breast milk to prevent acne and other skin conditions - Oh, the quest for beauty - The things people do for flawless skin! I just read an article claiming that menstrual blood can cure acne - How true is that? For your reading pleasure batch by batch :)

Question

I know it may sound sick but I've been trying everything the past year to get rid of my acne (apple cider, egg yolk, egg white, baking soda, avocados, cucumber, zucchini, benxoyl peroxide, oatmeal, hydrogen peroxide, potato juice, lemon juice, erythromycin, retin A micro gel, urine, you name it.) So has anyone heard of using menstrual blood on acne? Does it help?

Update: Proactive doesn't work for me either. I tried that for a month

Update 2: Well everything is gross if you think about it. Stop being judgemental

Update 3: If you know it doesn't work can you please provide a source?

Possible Answer

Menstrual blood wont work, I think you are thinking that as it has estrogen in it that it will cure acne as it is caused by a testosterone imbalance (yes girls have that hormone too!) and that estrogen will balance things out. The reason why this wont work is that the acne is an inflammation of a sebaceous gland and what you need is an anti-inflammatory the cause of a pimple maybe hormonal but the pimples themselves have nothing to do with hormones. This is why it wont work! Good luck with getting clear skin! Check acne.org for some info that helped me loads! It could be life changing! :-)
