Ok, I agree that this is not much of a big deal, but I haven't had pimples before. I'm 43 this is agony

I think being that you are 43 and never had your face break out before, I would go see a dermatolgist.  It might not be acne....

Don't pop 'em!  That can actually spread the problem. I kept my face clean, stayed away from all the "trigger" foods, took medication.... I hate to sound like a commercial but I've had acne for ...well...years and nothing ever worked until I got Proactiv.  It really works.

Fellow 27/f here...I have a couple suggestions for you. I have struggle with this problem since my teen years and have literally tried everything!!  I finally went on Accutane at 18 and it was so horrible, but I stuck it out and it got rid of my acne, minus a break out here or there. At 26, my acne came back in Full force! I am determined never to harm my body with horrible drugs like I did when I was 18, so I am trying a more natural approach. \n\n1) Use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent after you wash your face. It will help kill off the bacteria on your face and eat away at some of that nasty stuff.\n2) I haven't tried this, but I read today that you could dab honey on a pimple and put a bandaid over it...overnight. Apparently, honey has something in it that produces hydrogen peroxide, so putting it on the pimple will basically release this stuff over night on your pimple. Interesting I thought!\n3) If you are looking for a great face line that will help you get that stuff cleared up, get rid of fine lines and other blotches in the skin, I know of a great one. So good in fact, that I signed up this month to be able to buy the products at wholesale, because they are that good. Probably on here, this comes across as a weird sales pitch, but I'm 100% honest when I say that this product line changed the way I looked at the cosmetics and health and beauty industry.\n\nDid you know that cosmetic products virtually aren't regulated at all? They can basically put whatever they want in the products, and they do. This includes animal byproducts...you said you eat organic foods, but what are you putting on your skin?  I just realized about a month ago, through research, that before I have taken 1 bite of food in the morning, I have put large quantities of dead animals on my skin. GROSS! So I made a switch.\n\nThe products I am talking about are by Arbonne International. You can look them up online. If you email me, I would love to give you more info and see if they might work for you too. I am not in this to make money, but I will "sell" you the products for the wholesale cost I get if you are interested in trying them. No pressure whatsoever, but it is worth looking in to. Best of luck.\n\n*******************************\nLisa, if you consider this "regulation" then you need to get your head checked.\n\n"Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before they are sold to the public. Generally, FDA regulates these products after they have been released to the marketplace. This means that manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."\n\nThis is a DIRECT quote from the FDAs webpage. Source posted below. \n\nAs to having to go to a "Professional", I am and have been going to a dermatologist for years. NEVER to have my acne cleared up EXCEPT when on accutane. And if you read the testamonies AGAINST that, including my own, you will NEVER touch the stuff. My dermatologist, with all his medications, can't take care of my acne apparently...or doesn't want to, because it isn't in his best interest. Neither could the other 3 dermatologists I've been to in my life. So, I took it upon myself to research and research and research. I am providing what I have found...and miraculously, IT IS WORKING! So Lisa, keep you nose out of it, because obviously YOU haven't been through this. For all your KNOWLEDGE, you know nothing.\n\n*******************************\nI've also posted a link to a list of cosmetic "ingredients" that are or may be derived from animals. Now, you may not think too much about animal cruelty, or that may not be a huge factor for you, but think of it this way. Animals that are grown and bred for specific purposes are treated with antibiotics,

Don't worry she will be fine in a couple of days. Evryone has little arguements like this. You did the right thing in telling her and I just think she took it the wrong way and is way to sensitive. Anyway who cares if you have a pimple? It doesn't really seem a big deal to me, but I hope I help!

my daughter has gotten the same thing before and i believe it was because she was dipping her hands into different soaps and lotions and then at some point touched her face .sensitive skin can do that cause usually they don't get regular pimples until puberty.

OMG!!! We are just alike!! Our skin is the same, and mine breaks out at that time too. How old are you? I'm 13. But anyway, I'm using AcneFree right now, and it seems to be working for me. You should try it. Get the main pack with the cleanser, toner, and lotion, and they have a lot of other creams to put on too. I use the Blackhead and Acne Remover cream.

Oh it sucks! I have bacne (acne on the back) & I have tried everything! I am 15 and hopefully it will go away on it's own. If you are also a teen chances are it will go away. If not talk to your doctor to recommend a product. Good Luck I know how you feel!

Because of my weird working shifts etc, I tend to go to sleep at approx 4am, and not wake until midday, sometimes later. My skin is just as healthy as anyone else's. I'm 20 years old too, so if acne were gonna set in, i'd be a prime target for it.\nGotta be a myth. That, or i'm damn lucky!

You probably have oily skin. They're called pores. Use oil free makeup and moisturizers. and wash your face twice a day. See a dermatologist if you start getting pimples.

It might just be a skin condition.. or something to do with your genetics and all that... I have that same problem.. it doesn't bother me, so i don't think you should worry.. probobly just a minor non-harmful sideffect of something.. hasn't harmed me or you yet.. so it probobly wont.. don't worry that much about it.

Try and drink a lot of water...that's good you are cutting back on alcohol. Maybe you can see a doctor and they can refer you to a dermatologist if you're skin problem persists. Sometimes little bumps can be clogged pores, which might be cleared with an exfoliating scrub...but I'm not positive if these are the kind you are talking about. \nWell, hope it gets better soon.

keep it clean, do not pop as it may leave scars..\npeople have different skin types, one moisturizer and/or pimple gel / anti acne solution may or may not be effective on you. bad thing is, it might get worse if keep trying or putting something on it. Also, you may be suffering from adult acne which is normal. it may be caused by too much stress or probably your PMS. i suggest you consult your dermatologist first to get the right medications
