What can I do with my acne?

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?

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!

No, contrary to belief, there aren't many foods at all that increase acne or cause pimples. So go ahead and eat your pickles. \n\nJust try to get more sun, (it can help) and go to a henrys or orchards or health food place (with all the vitamins you never heard of) and look for tea tree oil. It helps a lot.\n\n(I have the same thing so this is all from experience.)\nThe best thing would probably be get more sun, and make sure to use hot water when showering, it makes pores bigger and easier to clean. Well god luck. And enjoy those pickles

For Acne, apparently. But it dries the skin out. Use a moisturizer afterward.

Treat it the same as you would acne on the face.\nLike the face, if you scrub too hard it can remove all good oils and change the skin pH, so the body creates more to replace what you removed.\nJust cleanse with a mild cleanser or gel, then use a toner for acne (w/salicylic acid) over the acne area.  \nAlso, use a cleansing/exfoliating mask once a week.  (a wash off mask, rather than a peel-off!)

You need to see a dermatologist, you might need a prescription.  There are also adult facial cleansers for acne.

I had BAD acne with bleeding and tried the stuff you mentioned.  What causes acne is an infection in the glands that produce the oil for your skin.  How do you get the infection?  Touching the face with dirty hands puts bacteria on the skin and into the oil glands.\n\nAvoid touching your face if at all possible, and make sure your hands are CLEAN if you do.\n\nDON'T squeeze any pimple.  This forces the puss and bacteria into the surrounding tissue, causing severe redness, irritation, and possibly more pimples.\n\nAvoid excessive washing of the face, or using any product that dries the skin.  The pores of your skin are meant to breath.  Look for products that are labeled 'non-comedogenic'.\nMain Entry: non·com·e·do·gen·ic\nPronunciation: -"käm-&-dO-'jen-ik\nFunction: adjective\n: not tending to clog pores (as by the formation of blackheads) <a noncomedogenic cosmetic>\n\nMoisturize.  Yes, moisturize.  Use a simple face wash, pat the skin dry (but still moist), and apply moisturizer.  This will keep the pores open and not block the flow of oil and contaminants.  It will also help form a barrier to dirt and bacteria until the oils naturally rise to the surface to protect your skin.  The oil that's there is supposed to be there; DON'T WASH EXCESSIVELY!  Many acne problems are exacerbated by products that over-dry or by excessive washing.  Wash and moisturize before bed and in the AM, say, after your shower.\n\nIf you have REALLY oily skin, you may need to wash and moisturize 3-4 times a day (or as often as you feel the need, but not too much!).  But look on the bright side!  Your skin (your face) will look much YOUNGER in 30-40 years than your friends who don't have this 'problem'.  I still have very oily skin on my face, forehead, chest and shoulders, and I'm often mistaken for someone in my early 30's.\n\nI did this and in about two weeks almost ALL of my acne cleared up.  If I hadn't, I'm sure I would have ended up a 'crater-face' with visible acne scars, but my regimine all but stopped my acne.  I still get an occasional zit and I'm 44 years old, so don't expect miracles like on TV.\n\nIf you have the urge to squeeze or pop your pimples, try picking the top off first.  This is much less damaging to the surrounding tissue.\n\nCheck out some books by Dr. Perricone.  He is a dermatologist with some great advice on how diet affects your skin, and on using suppliments to help clear your skin.\n\nGood luck!!

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).

You should make an appointment to see a dermatologist, he is the best person to determine the cause and the treatment. He will probably want to know how long you have had it and how old you were when it started. Some acne problems can be helped with a cleaning regiment and some can only be helped with medication.

Go to your doctor. Your doctor can prescirbe you with a hormone controlling pill that will balance your hormones. Acne is a result of hormonal imbalances. It doesnt matter that it is on your buttox. Taking the prescription will balance your hormones and rid you of any acne.

Acne is caused by a toxin build up in your body. It is caused your bowel being clogged with junk. \nTo clear your acne, start by eating better! Fruits, vegetables and meat are good! Limit junk food as much as possible. The best thing you can do for yourself is take Fiberwise drinks or bars. It will remove the bowel build up and your face will clear. It doesn't happen overnight but in 30 days you will see quite a difference. \nI have seen some nasty acne improve tremendously doing this.
