hard to answer, from here. It seems you did too much.\n I think you should consult a dermatologist. There are so many different types of acne.... \nI had no acne when I was a teen, but now I suffer on a special type since almost 20 years and I cant get rid of it.\n\ngood luck and get well soon :-)

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

It don't work it makes it worse because it just clogs up the acne acne is made of dirt and oils built up in your skin so it just adjates it. Or so my dermetoligist says ask yours though!

The most effective products I have used are a combination of salycylic acid medication (stridex wipes/pads) plus a benzoyl peroxide cream (Clearasil daily acne control cream). This has helped clear my acne symptoms. \nI had to see a dermatologist in the past, though, because sometimes acne can turn into an infection...w/ the redness and inflammation symptoms spreading to different areas of your face. He prescribed me a few things, one was an antibiotic to kill the infection that was causing the acne to spread. Just thought I'd add that in case you don't see an improvement from over-the-counter products. Good luck

There's not much you can do for prevention - it's just hormones going crazy and you just have to grin and bear it (we've all been there!) However, to get rid of your acne once it's there is different. Toothpaste is a quick and simple solution - just put a little blob on each spot before going to sleep and they'll dry up overnight, gaining a crusty head that is then much easier to pop. Hope it clears up soon (and it will - I had v bad acne from 16-19 years old but once it was over boy was I relieved!)

proactive is good, but expensive. just find a nice cleanser that is oil free and uses 2% sacylic acid to treat acne. be sure to wash every day and use an acne treatment gel.  hope that helps

It is extremely possible that no matter how many topical treatments you use that your acne will not go away.  Topicals that you get from the drug store are generally used for "a lite case of pimples".  If you have actual acne - you need to see a Dermatologist, and he/she will probably put you on an antibacterial antibiotic in combination with another antibiotic.  He/She will probably also give you prescribed topicals that are stronger.

yes acne is very treatable, that wouldn't stop decent guys.  If you want to treat it, you should condisder using pro-active. It works very very good and is very easy. I used to have acne bad, but now my face is clear.

ways to get rid of pimples\n1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.\n\n2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.\n\n3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.\n\n4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.\n\n5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.\n\n6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.\n\n7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. \n\n8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.\n\n9. Use water-based make-up.\n\n10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.\n\n11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.\n\n12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.\n\n13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.\n\n14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne.

Proactiv has always really been fantastic for any type of acne. They sell a body scrum that you can use on your back that should help clear it all up. Good luck!

My sister had really bad acne and went to the dermatologist.  One of the things the doctor had her do - was to put hot compresses on her face.  So - i think you're on to something.\n\nIf you can - go and see a dermatologist.\n\nHave you tried Proactiv?  It seems to help a lot of people who have tried most everything else.

UMM..  you would properly need a acne body wash or the best thing that i used is Neutrogena acne on the spot treatment its the best I'm serious it clears you up so good and prevents it too . its like a cream and in like less than two weeks it'll clear up most of it. You can get it at like cvs, target or any store for 5 bucks. trust me it'll work!

We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!\n\nThose of us who suffer from acne has usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:\n\n1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work.   Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\n2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\nI found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back.  It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs.  The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.\nThere is a great website:  http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure  that has all the details.  I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.
