you could go to a dermatologist or you could try the pro-activ solution, you can buy from TV shop in almost any country. i am 28 and still have spots and i am going to order the order the products. they contain salyic acid and retinal which are ingredients found in all anti-acne products. even jessica simpson, alicia keys and sean coombs use it. it must be worth a try.\ngood luck to both you and me.

You should go to a dermatologist and get something topical to put on it.  You might also want to think of getting a really good skin care routine cleaning your face every morning and night with products that work with your skin.  That will help keep you from having such problems as much.

It's just puberty. It will get better with time. That said, you will never be totally pimple free but the severity will calm down as you get older so that you only get the odd spot. I wouldn't worry about it too much.\n\nIn terms of your existing pimples, do not pop them. Let them develop a head and burst under their own steam. If you develp white or blackheads, make sure your fingers are really clean (i.e. WASH YOUR HANDS!) and heat the affected area with a hot flannel before squeezing the head of the spot GENTLY to get the contents out. Then wash affected parts with antibacterial soap and use the same preparation in these areas as you use for the spots on your face. Then forget about them. In a couple of years, your skin will get a lot better. In the meantime, be kind to your skin otherwise you will be left with lots of scars...and if you are really worried, go to a salon that does facials and skin treatments and get proper advice on how to treat your skin until your teenage outbreaks calm down.

First, make sure you have a good skin cleanser, since oily skin is worse for "zits"-pimples. There are numerous good skin cleansers and medications like Clearasil at most pharmacies and department stores. If you use a foundation make-up, be sure to get one that says "non-oily". Teenagers and adults get "zits" at various times in their lives due to stress, hormones, etc. If the above doesn't help, call a dermatologist (skin doctor) or any your regular doctor to refer you to a dermatologist. Most teenagers will outgrow "zits". Try to keep a positive attitude and lower your intake of fried foods and chocolate.

Unfortunatley pimples caused by stress there is no cure for. I break out from stress all the time and they are painful and suck ass. Don't listen to people tell you about toothpaste and eye drops cause it wont work. You will keep getting zits when you are stressed out. For now use Biore Ice Wash, Biore heated mask and try Noxema Pads (like stridex but better). Do not pop your pimples they will scar. Take a hot wet rag and hold it down on your pimple till all the pussy crap surfaces and when it breaks (on it's own) put some peroxide in it. I promise this will work. And BTW you are WAY to young to be that stressed out, a locking up jaw is a very bad sign, ask your parents to take you to your doctor and tell him about the stress and jaw thing. He can prescribe you zanex and it will help you with the stress and your skin. Good luck to you - feel better

Prevention\n\nConstipation is the main reason of acne. Treat it immediately, if you have.\nDrink lots of water to prevent major skin problems.\nAvoid eating chocolate, fried food, and refined sugar.\nKeep your skin always clean by washing with very mild soaps and lukewarm water.\nDo not try to prick and peel the acne as this can leave permanent marks on the face.\nEat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.\nTake B-complex and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.\nApply cucumber paste on your face. Wash it off after 20-30 minutes with lukewarm water.

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 :-)

First try over the counter facial cleansers, maybe by Neutrogena or Clean and Clear, or Oil of Olay. If none of these work after a couple weeks, you might want to visit a dermatologist. The doctor can prescribe you a stronger facial cleaner that is designed to get rid of acne!

I would suggest visiting a dermatologist. One thing you can do is eat healthy. You know fruits, veggies and less meat. Drink lots of WATER it clears your skin. No soda sugar feeds your acne. Also use a good simple soup and shampoo(daily). Oil from your head goes down to your face. Hope i helped good luck.\n\nPS dont believe weird solutions? like banna on ur skin it can have bacteria in it how can that help?

Picking at them just causes the bacteria to spread so wash your face thoroughly and keep you face clean. Try some of the pimple/acne medication out there and if that does not work see your doctor about getting medication that will. Always keep your hands away from your face when working in places like McDonald's etc. Matter of fact just keep your hands away from you face unless you are washing it. If you are a teenager do not stress out. This is common and will pass in most cases.

Acne is normally caused by the hormonal changes in your body. Washing is one of the ways to Lower the amount of pimples you get, but not the only way. The oil glands in your hair and skin produce a specific type of oil lubricant, Sebum, but as a teen’s body matures hormones cause these glands to go into overdrive and produce more than necessary. Your pores become clogged and a bacteria gets trapped inside, that bacteria cause’s acne.\n\nNow washing your face two or three times a day can help prevent the buildup of oils, but make sure you DO NOT SCRUB HARD. Washing your face as gently as you can helps, Scrubbing with pressure actually worsens it by irritating your skin and pores! \n\nIf you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores. If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away.\n\nThere are many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly - don't use more than you're supposed to at one time, as your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse.\n\nSometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway - and this is totally normal. In fact, some girls who normally have a handle on their acne may find that it comes out a few days before they get their period. This is called premenstrual acne, and about seven out of 10 women get it from changes in hormones in the body.\n\nIf you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. This might be hard to do - it can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple. But when you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! More importantly, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.\n\nAcne is passed on from your parents ask them about their Acne. What helped them may work for you; there is no one single cure for Acne.\n\nFission\n\nNOTE: Some people believe that foods and stress cause breakouts. These are Myths, they are not true.\n\nAcne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking sodas. Stress doesn't usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress increases sebum production).\nThere are also myths about what helps make acne better. Acne isn't really helped by the sun. Although a tan can temporarily make acne look less severe, it won't help it go away permanently - and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse.

My old roommate had a bad skin problem and she used to put toothpaste on her pimples be3fore she would go to bed at night. It dried them up and made it better, but she did not get completely rid of her acne until she used Proactive Solutions. It really does work. Best of luck!

pimples are caused by hormones.  Proactive works really well.  My skin looks great and I've been using it for about a month.  I used to work in a skin care clinic and I'm a nurse.  You can pop pimples but you have to open it with a needle first.  Just lightly flick the needle over the head of the pimple, then gently squeeze.  Make sure to wash your face and hands first.  It will dry up faster if you do this.

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.
