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.

Some solutions that may help cure acne are already in your home.\n\n1. If a pimple appears, don't break it immediately.\n2. Before you go to bed, wash your face (liquid cleansers work the best and do not overdry your face).\n3. Pat dry.\n4. If you have any type of mint toothpaste, dab a little on your pimple.\n5. Cover the spot with a small band-aid.\n6. By morning, the swelling should go down and the redness should be almost gone.\n7. For extreme breakouts, there are many over the counter face cleansers. \n\n* All acne medications cause your skin to break out more than when you started because the cleansers are cleaning out your pores and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface which in turn causes a massive break out. Give it about two weeks and you will notice a big difference in your skin.\n* Avoid eating lots of sugar as sugar causes outbreaks most of the time.\n* Drink lots of water. \n\n* Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and more acne than when you started.

Hot/warm water on a washcloth. As crazy as it sounds--toothpaste, it helps to draw out a pimple. Good luck!

1. Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap such as cetaphil.\n2. Rinse with warm water.\n3. Apply a benzoyl peroxide topical cream, such as Clearasil, BP or On -The-Spot, to affected areas only. Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witch hazel.\n4. After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer, unscented is best.\n5. Once a week, use a kaolin-clay-based mask and let dry to pull impurities from your skin.\n6. Rinse with warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub such as Swiss Valley Apricot Scrub or Neutrogena 60-Second Mask/Scrub.\n7. Be sure to moisturize well after your weekly treatment. \n\n* 2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.\n* Moisturizing is an important daily step, don't skip the moisturizer just because you think your skin is oily. Regular moisturizing will help keep your skin pimple free.\n* Pimple-fighting concealer can also be used for protection all day.\n* Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin\n* Taking vitamins regularly can also help your skin.\n* Avoid smoking or taking immuno-suppressants (such as steroids)\n* Some foods, like garlic and onions, are thought to improve skin conditions. \n\n* DON'T TOUCH: When you get a pimple, imagine that there is police tape around it. Your pimple is off limits to touch. The oils from your hands will make it harder for it to go away. Do NOT pop it. This will spread the bacteria (causing more pimples on other areas of your face) and may leave a scar (whether you use your fingernails or not). In general, don't touch your face unless you are actively washing it!\n* While you should always discuss any helth issues with your doctor, it's especially important to consult a dermatologist if your acne affects more than 30% of your skin, if breakouts increase after beginning treatment, or if you experience scarring.\n* When you start the treatment, your acne might appear to flare for a week or two, as your skin gets used to the new routine and impurities are drawn from your pores.

How To ALWAYS have clear skin!!!\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

Although many people suffer from this condition only during the teenage years, pimples can occur throughout adulthood, depending on your hormonal activity, heredity and hygiene.\nInstructions\n\n    * STEP 1: Resist the urge to attack when these plugged sebaceous glands pop up. In other words, don't pop your pimples'this can cause infections and even scarring.\n\n    * STEP 2: Keep in mind that a combination of hormonal activity, a buildup of bacteria and the shedding of dead skin cells causes pimples. Do what you can to prevent a breakout by establishing a skin-care routine appropriate for your skin type.\n\n    * STEP 3: Have patience. It could take up to one month for a blemish to disappear completely. The less you poke at it, the better.\n\n    * STEP 4: Buy an antibacterial, oil-free concealer that can blend the redness of the pimple into your own skin color. Green shades tend to offset redness the best. (This might not be an option for those who don't wear makeup.)\n\n    * STEP 5: Try a facial mud mask. This may shrink a pimple.\n\n    * STEP 6: Realize that despite the happy teens in the commercials, 'zit zapping' solutions'medications you apply directly to pimples'don't do much more than dry out the top layer of skin covering the pimples. These medications don't provide a long-term cure.\n\n    * STEP 7: If you are going to break the rules by 'extracting the blemish''aesthetician-speak for popping your pimple'wash your hands, then lightly squeeze the top of the pimple with a tissue or cotton swab. Clean the area thoroughly when you're done. If nothing happens, leave the pimple alone until it's ready to pop.\n\n    * STEP 8: Apply a benzol peroxide acne medication to the pimple and avoid applying medication to the surrounding area.

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.

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!)

Pimples are a result of a chemical imbalance in the body this is sometimes brought on by stress, not eating right, and even lack of exercise.  Take a multi vitamin daily, wash your face twice daily and use an acne clenser or follow up with an acne fighting astringent.  This will help keep the skin clensed and keep new ones from forming.  As for the current ones use a "sopt fighter" at night and this will help shrink them.  If this dont work you might have to go to a dermatologist to get something stronger.  Good Luck!
