Acne is a tough problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't always disappear as you get older, which could develop into adult acne.\n\nFurthermore, if left untreated, acne can cause semi-permanent scarring.\n\nThe good news is that it's all pretty much preventable.\n\nThe bad news is that I suggest if your acne is quite bad, you see a dermatologist as soon as possible. Save up some money, even if it means that you have to cut corners elsewhere for a while. You should make sure that your health and well-being is a priority.\n\nYou could try to tame acne with a regimen of over-the-counter solutions. You should make sure to wash your face at least 2 times a day, use a toner for oily or acne-prone skin, and use a topical cream to help dry out existing blemishes. You may also wish to try a system called "Proactiv Solution," which you may have seen on tv. People have used this product for acne with varying degrees of success. Google "Proactiv Solution" for more information.\n\nThe problem with this solution is that often, with acne, the problem is below the skin - where creams and washes can't reach. This is why it's so important to see a dermatologist.\n\nFor more information on this topic, google the terms "acne solution" or "acne tips."\n\nGood Luck!

Yes, unless you peel it back and keep yourself clean.  And if it won't peel back, your changes of finding a sex partner definitely decreases.

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

Contrary to what you may have heard, acne is not caused by dirty skin, eating chocolate, or drinking lots of soda. Acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin. These glands become stimulated when puberty hormones become active. Some people have more of a reaction to their hormone levels than others, which is why different people have different levels of acne.\n\nAlthough there is no surefire way to prevent acne, there are several ways to help reduce the number and severity of your breakouts. \n\nWashing your skin is essential (it helps remove excess surface oils and dead skin cells that can clog your pores), but washing too much can actually cause damage by overdrying your skin or irritating existing acne. \n\nRemember to wash after exercising because sweat can clog your pores and make your acne worse. If you work around greasy food or oil or if you've been sweating from heat or because you've been working hard, wash your face and other acne-prone areas as soon as possible.\n\nIf you use skin products, such as lotions or makeup, look for ones that are noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic, which means that they don't clog pores. \n\nIf you can't live without your hair spray or styling gel, be sure to keep them away from your face as much as possible. Many hair products contain oils that can make acne worse. \n\nIf you get acne on areas such as your chest or back, avoid wearing tight clothes, which can rub and cause irritation. \n\nSome teens find that over-the-counter products can help clear up acne. It may take some time to find the one that works best for you - some may not do the trick and others may cause irritation. Over-the-counter acne products come in different strengths; the typical acne-fighting ingredients are benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. \n\nIf you find over-the-counter products aren't working for you, it's best to seek a doctor's advice. A doctor can prescribe special gels or creams, pills, or a combination of both. It may feel a bit awkward or embarrassing to talk about your acne with someone, especially a stranger, but your doctor is trained to help get your skin looking its best. \n\nWhat about pimples you already have? It's tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple usually won't get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push infected material and pus further into the skin, which can lead to more swelling and redness (not what you want before a big date!), and even scarring, which can be permanent.\n\nIf you are taking a prescription acne medication, finish your entire prescription even if your skin clears up, unless your dermatologist says you can stop. If you stop too early, there's a chance your skin could break out all over again.\n\nEating nutritious foods can help keep you healthy of course, and your skin will benefit from getting enough vitamins and minerals. But the bottom line is that you don't need to be obsessive about what you eat or how often you wash your face to control acne. If you don't find an over-the-counter product that works for you, talk to your doctor or a dermatologist for some advice on living through the acne years.

its working. i cant believe how amazing it turned my little brother to an acne free pimp. ive noticed that my brother's acne slowly disappered in about 3 to 4 months. he had acne all over his forehead, his cheeks and even on the side of his cheekbone. now, he only has a few on his forehead which is not visible when you are about 4 feet away. He uses the solution every night before he goes to bed. u should try it.

Nope, but you will start enjoying c o c k...Just kidding. Food will not determine the texture of your skin dear. Some may help to produce acne that's all....

no product gets rid of acne. but there are plenty of products that cause it: junk food, lotsa bread and cheese, refined sugars. remember: acne is a parasitic virus. remove its food supply (junk foods) and it will remove itself. cut the above foods from your diet, fast on water for three days every other month and eat lotsa of dandelion (no really!!). Do this for at least six months and as long as you don;t go back on the junk food diet, you should be acne free!!! yipeee!!! good luck!!

Acne is a serious skin disease and tough to cope with,unfortunately. As to your question depends on the pimple, if you pick it in most cases after quite every pimple is leaving a blemish,which is not good looking. But if you see a scarred face,caused by acne, it would probably took years to appear that worse. I mean that there are pimples, which are leaving deeper scars and they do not fade away or erase and stay. Year after year the scars occur more and more. So it is very important the acne to be cured by a dermatologists on time.\nHope that is of help.\nHave a great day!

Stop worrying. Most of these things disappear with time. Spots don't last forever. It doesn't help you in the short term, but there are no miracle products that will make them all disappear instantly. Beware of steroidal creams.

the advice of curiouslyinlove7 is nice, but don't overdo it. i'd say once a day would be enough. i like sea-soaps. if you dont have a LOT of zits, just a few annoying ones, use different soaps. don't use the same product for too long, they tend to loose their effect. if you're a teen, which i'm assuming you are, do NOT use chemical crap of any sort! BAD, trust me on this! herbal stuff, and soaps, might take a bit longer (like a week instead of a day), but they won't cause you to develop a sort of dependency, which is awful.

I'm not sure if it applies in your case, but used to have a huge problem with acne. When I stopped eating sugar, it went away completely.

I had BAD acne.  Mostly stress and poor diet caused it.  I called and got the $20 "sample starter kit" off the infomercial because nothing else was really working.  My acne cleared up in less than a month!!!  The only time I get break-outs now is if I stop using the Proactiv.  That is sorta bad because you have to keep using it or you'll be back in the same boat.  By the way, I'm not a teenager - I'm 31 years old.  I didn't have acne as a teen.  If you don't want the "subscription" where they send it to you every month, you can buy it off of eBay, too.

Yep, it can.  It's a big cause of acne.

If this is just a little acne, there is no need to go spending a lot of money on Proactive or other expinceive products. What she needs to do is develop a habbit of good hygeian at an early age so the problom doesn't worson durring teen years. This will also teach her responcoblitly.\n\nPimples are a scourge. They come suddenly during the night attacking us in our sleep. Sometimes during the middle of the day they will come they come and you don't know until you have said good afternoon to an office full of people. You go in the bathroom and see it and you think to yourself I can't believe I was out in the public looking like this. Not anymore. Mother Nature is on your side. For every chemical there is a natural that is it's equal. Of course the natural way takes a little time, but usually it is cheaper and better for you. \n\nLemons, tomatoes and witch hazel are all proven to fight and keep acne at bay. Lemons and tomatoes are both fruits, yes fruits, with a second quality not known to all humankind. What you want to do is cut it open. Cutting it in fours goes a long way. Take each piece of lemon or tomato and rub it on your face. You may have a little something left on your face. Just leave it there. It's for your own good. They will make pimples disappear almost overnight. It they don't disappear they will be smaller the next time you check. Lemon is also good for removing scars. That means any pimples you popped in angst that left a scar will go away over time. Lemon contains acid so it's like having an acid peel thing going, but not. Your skin will be so clear you can set that makeup aside for special occasions. \n\nAnother thing that works is keeping your face wiped off. You don't really need soap. All you want is for your pores to stay closed. How you say. Water. Yes, water. Bottled or tap water. All it has to be is cold. Wet a face rag with cold water. I hate to have cold anything on me, but I hear pain is beauty. Wipe your face with a cold wet rag everyday before setting out for the day. Wipe it again went you get in and once more before bed. Your pores will stay closed. You will keep the irritation of the skin on your face down and it should be pretty clear. Also try to remember to keep your hands out of your face. Your fingertips and nails hold a lot of germs and touch a lot of dirt. Putting them in your face increases the chance of irritation thus creating those hideous pimples. \n\nWitch Hazel is a natural way to clear ones face, too. It is an astringent. Yes, an astringent, just like the other products claim to contain. Witch Hazel is also cold almost anywhere you store it so it's like using water only it pulls impurities up out of your skin. Your will apply this anywhere from two to three times a day. Before bed is really good. As you sleep your body goes through a lot of things I am not scientifically equipped to elaborate on or prove. I just notice that if you do your beauty regimens at night and go to bed when you wake up in the morning you should be very pleased with the results when you wake up in the morning. And it is very cheap because almost not one buys it. Hurry up before they figure it out! \n\n\n~Hope this helps! and good luck with your daughter

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.

These will usually fade, but often there are some permanent changes in skin pigmentation after having eczema.

mild acne would respond to a good starting treatment by anyone, you don't really need a dermatologist, see a primary care doctor, internist or a family practice doc, read up on emedicine.com, mayoclinic.com or webmd.com, good luck
