1.  Change your pillowcase every other day (sleep on it one night, flip it for the next night, then change the pillowcase for the next night. Lather, rinse, repeat. LOL).  You may have to get someone to buy more pillowcases for you .  In a pinch, fold a clean towel over the pillow and sleep on that.   Our bodies get rid of extra oils and "poisons" in our cells by sleeping at night, and we exhale all of those through our breathing and skin. It will go into your pillowcase as you perspire at night.\n\n2. Wash your hands in the sink, then wash your face with your HANDS ONLY.  Use an antibacterial soap. Do not use a washcloth as they carry germs and bacteria and you will spread the acne around. Wash just when it gets "oily " on your forehead and nose throughout the day. Let it air dry.  (Or, at school, just "pat dry" with a paper towel).  Don't overwash your face, it just makes the follicles produce more oil. \n\n3. Do NOT touch your face throughout the day. You need to train yourself not to do this. Touching spreads bacteria around. You may be holding your chin in your hand throughout the day, which would cause chin acne. You may be touching your face and not even realize that you do so. Or do you have sporting equipment where you wear a chin strap. If so, that needs to be washed in an antibacterial daily. \n\n4. Drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your skin well- hydrated. This keeps the pores healthy. \n\n5. Change your diet--don't eat greasy foods like fries, tacos with lots of cheese, meats.  Add lots of vegetables to your diet.  Drink green tea or herb tea to flush out your system and achieve balance. \n\n6. Use the "clear" clearasil on the acne that really hurts and DO NOT TOUCH THEM, until ready to come out.  After a blemish comes out, use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and hold it on there while it cleans out the pore. It will fizz, which is what it is supposed to do. Let dry on its own.\n\n7. Don't use oil based makeup, ever. \n\n8 .  If it is really getting bad, see a dermatologist so that you don't get the scarring.\n\nGood luck , I had this problem in high school .  I wish someone had told me to back off on all the face washing.

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!

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.

I used a mixture of strawberries and apple cider vinager when I was a teenager to combat acne.  Worked for me, but strawberries can be kind of expensive.\n\nIf you want to get better ideas, just walk down the skin care isle of your nearest grocery store.  Those products have every fruit known to man in them - lemons, papyas, mangos, avacados, apricots, apples, grapes (oh, grapeseed oil is good), etc. . .\n\nGood luck.

Toothpaste is not suitable for all, plus there are soo many varieties available that you just don't know. I've been taking homeopathic treatment for acne. The doc says after 6 months of treatment the acne will go forever. Have been into it for 2 months already and it seems to work, coz now i am not getting any more new pimples. I also apply a face pack which works out just fine. It includes honey + few drops of lemon + grounded nutmeg. Apply it on the face for 20 mintes daily. \nAlso, keeping your head free of dandruff works. \n\nApplying lemon juice on the scars for 10 minutes daily also helps.\nDo not expect immediate returns. It will take some patience.\nAll the best.

To cure acne you must cure the gut (gastrointestinal tract).  Stress is well known to cause serious disruption of gut function (especially if you add a medical drug or two to the mix - e.g. antacids, antibiotics, or NSAIDs like Motrin, Advil or Aspirin).\n\nYour doctor is not likely educated on this issue, so you may need to educate yourself (or find a Certified Clinical Nutritionist [CCN], Chiropractor, Naturopathic Physician, or that rare Medical Doctor that is trained in nutrition).\n\nSherry Rogers, M.D. has written an excellent book on how to heal the gut (you do NOT have to have any 'stomach or bowel problems' to have gut problems - many people are asymptomatic at the gut level).  The book is called: "No More Heartburn".  Do not let the title mislead you, this book is about healing all kinds of gut problems, especially leaky gut syndrome and intestinal dysbiosis (the two likely factors in your acne).  The book is available at Amazon.com and I highly recommend it.\n\nI hope you find this helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S.  Many of the acne drugs doctors like to use are virtually guaranteed to cause gut problems!  This may be why their use does not 'cure' your problem, but literally prolongs 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.
