I'm sorry, I didn't think you could see me.  I won't do it anymore.  Geez, thanks for embarrassing me.

pimples around the eye are different to normal facial ones.  Because the skin there is more elastic, they have to build up more pressure before they blow.  That takes more time, and they will get harder.  If a doctor has already looked at it, then no worries.  I pricked one I had with a sterilized needle , which you shouldn't do, but it did work. It was there for a couple months, hard, annoying as anything, light in colour.   But you aren't supposed to put a needle anywhere near your eye, and it could be dangerous, etc. etc. etc.

Be sure to shower at least once a day, change your sheets and pillow case at least once a week and wash your face daily with an acne cleaner that dries oily skin like those containing benzoyle peroxide (ie: oxy, neutrogena etc.)  Also think about seeing your dermatologist.  He might put you on a mild antibiotic like Minicycline which is very effective and, even without insurance, will only cost you about $10 a month.  Finally, avoid picking and squeezing at all costs as this spreads the infection as well as transmit bacteria from your fingers to your face.

Alot of different things work for alot of different people. One thing might not work on someone else. Consult a dermatologist if it is bothing you, persistant, or severe. Proactive personally didn't do anything for me. I also don't drink milk which can aggrevate some people's bodies without them knowing it. I wash my face only twice, too much can dry your face out causing you to produce more oil and also irritate your skin. I frequently wash my pillow cases, which can build up bacteria and may casuse you to break out. Also, don't pop or pick! This can lead to scarring and spread bacteria under the skin causing more pimples! Hmmm...did I leave anything out?

Acne is connected w/ food that we eat... Fatty foods is "NO" to avoid having acne. Lot of fluid intake is also a must to do. Wash fash w/ mild facial soap or any facial solution. Avoid too much make-up and make sure that you don't sleep w/o washing it off. \n\npopping acne is also not a good idea to do... you will only damage your skin more by doing so... Eat more fruits and more VIT E supplements daily. Sleep early at least 8 hrs/day.\n\navoid smoking and alcohol...

First of all, never EVER pick at or pop your zits.  This will only cause scars.  If you pop it anyway, make sure you clean it with rubbing alcohol to disinfect it.  To remove some of the swelling, try holding an ice cube on top of it.

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!)

No, popping pimples doesn't cause an aneurysm.  Do you know what an aneurysm is??? Basic education: pimples are an infection and squeezing them can release bacteria that has been known to find it's way through the blood to the brain.\nIt's rare but it has been documented.  Sort of a Russian roulette, wouldn't you say?

Nope, not zits.  They are deposits (maybe calcium) of some excess nutrient in the body.  They can be removed by a doctor, or, if you can stand it, puncture them to let the white deposit out.   They will scab over and heal.

A zit and a pimple are the same thing, so it could've been a blood bubble under one (Pimples bleed if squeezed too hard), and a wart would really hurt if u tried to pop it. White toothpaste really does work if put on pimples b4 u go 2 bed.

1.  Wet a wash cloth with hot tap water, as hot as you can handle. \n\n2.  Put it on the zit for about 10 minutes. The longer you leave it on, the better. It will help to bring the impurities the surface.\n\n3. Gently squeeze it (NO NAIL ACTION!!!). \n\n4. Leave it alone until it has settled (minimum of 1 hour). No picking, ice cube will help here as well.\n\n5. Before bed dab on the toothpaste (as mentioned in previous postings, don't use the gels).\n\n6. In the morning remove paste and  dab on a little bit of concealer.\n\nGood Luck!!!\n\nP.S. Hot wash cloth is going to sting a bit so be prepared.\nIt really works, I did this before my formal.

Yes, it can. It dries the zit out which is the same thing any acne meds would do.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to nutritionally prevent acne.  This means whole grains (not white bread and french fries), lots of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins (choose fish and chicken over steaks and hamburgers) and lean dairy products (skim milk and unsweetened yogurt).  Science has not proven a link between greasy foods and acne, but if the oil from the food comes into contact with your face it can lead to breakouts.\n\nThere is no way to delay the onset of acne, but once it appears you should begin with topical (surface) remedies.  Wash your face morning and night.  Avoid wearing foundation, concealer, powder and blush (especially that contain oil).  Exfoliate weekly and use a deep-cleansing mask weekly.\n\nIf your acne is particularly bad or causes you extreme embarassment, ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist to discuss Accutane, a prescription drug in pill form that stops your oil glands from producing oil.  This drug is commonly prescribed to teens but has many side effects, so you need to discuss it with your parents and the dermatologist (as well as take regular blood and pregnancy tests while taking it).
