Breakouts - Toothpaste?

I%26#039;m in my 30s and occasionally still get breakouts. Lately, I%26#039;ve been breaking out around my mouth more than usual. I don%26#039;t know what%26#039;s causing it. One of my suspects is my new toothpaste.





Can certain types of toothpaste cause breakouts?

Breakouts - Toothpaste?
no way. toothpaste doesnt affect the skin. in fact, you can put toothpaste on break outs to dry your pinmples out. sounds like you might have cold sores. they can affect the skin around the mouth. go see the doc to be sure. good luck.
Reply:doesn%26#039;t happen to me, get a toothpaste of your old kind and try it. any difference. maybe u have an allergic reaction
Reply:make sure its not some kind of infection..


u sure its not like sores and not pimples?


maybe u have some herpes simplex
Reply:YES do not use toothpaste to clear up breakouts just don%26#039;t it will only get it irritated and make it worse
Reply:I have heard that it can cause breakouts..But also it could be the bacteria that is mixed in with the toothpaste can do it..That is what a lady told me once when I was getting a facial..
Reply:sure they can but most have peroxide which would be helpful for breakouts. that happens to me if i use a handset to talk on the phone allot.
Reply:no, unless you are slathering it all over your mouth. (which im guessing you aren%26#039;t doing!)... the culprit could be lipgloss. it runs from the lip and onto the skin around your mouth. do you use a phone in an office? has it been cleaned? bacteria from the phone to your skin beside your mouth can cause breakouts in that specific area. what about your pillowcase? this sounds weird, but are you drooling at night? seriously, alot of people drool and it ends up leaving something residual on the pillowcase which then sits against your skin at night to then cause a little rash or some tiny pimples. wow, i%26#039;ve got alot of ideas, hey? funny. anyways, food for thought.
Reply:actually most tooth pastes get rid of pimples(as long as it%26#039;s actual paste and not gel), as it dries them out. If you want to find out for sure, just try using a different kind of toothpast for a while and see if the breakouts go away. By the way, some dermatologist say that you should not use toothpaste on pimples as it can irritate the skin and cause more pimples, so that could be the problem.
Reply:nooo.


something else might be causing the breakouts. like your eating habits, stress or you period. it could be alot of other things, but i highly doubt its from your new toothpaste.
