I would actually suggest going to a dermatologist to see what is up with your skin.  If you are prone to allergic reactions to over the counter acne medicines and soaps, I would think a doctor would be the best bet.  For home remedies, you can try swabbing your skin with a solution of black tea-steep a tea bag or 2 in some hot water, let it get nice and strong, cool it off, and wipe down your skin.  Also, remember that you don't need to apply a lot of pressure when you clean your face, just rub gently.  GL.

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.

There are many things said about blackheads but studies show that you don't have them because of having a dirty face necessarily, they are however, clogged pores. If you steam your face, with hardly any pressure the little white bulb will come out and as long as you don't bruise your skin in the process there won't be a scar.\nTry acne.org

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

Foods that contain iodine can be a cause of acne. These foods include all "shell fish" i.e.  clams,scallops,lobsters,oysters,etc.  Also check out what other foods are high in iodine!!!

There is a medication called Acutane. I took it for a couple months and never got another pimple on my face for a couple years. It has some serious side effects I think...as with most medications. It really dried your face out, even your lips would crack and split unless you constantly have a lip ointment of some type. This drug was expensive, it was effective and I personally found no side effects besides the drying of my lips, that was the most uncomfortable side effect.

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.

Pimples occure because pores gets clogged with dead skin, dirt, oil, and it mixes with bacteria that can cause infections. Pimples occur mainly on the face because that is the one part of our body we touch most with our hands. everybody knows hands are the primary source for spreading germs.

The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several related factors. One important factor is rising hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens (male sex hormones), increase in both boys and girls during puberty and can cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies have shown that many school-age boys with acne have a family history of the disorder.\n\nThere are many myths about what causes acne. Chocolate and greasy foods are often blamed, but research has shown that foods seem to have little effect on the development and course of acne in most people. Another common myth is that dirty skin causes acne; however, blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt.

It is common for adults to have acne.  Research I have done lists (some) causes as hormonal, stress and sluggish digestive system.\nThe topical remedies help control the symptoms, but never really cure it.   \nThink about your habits to sort out a possible cause to your pimples.\nDid you know a sluggish colon can cause acne?  Toxins can be released thru the skin.\nStudies are revealing a good digestive system is key to optimum health and skin.  A good healthy diet with plenty of water after a colon cleanse. Health food stores carry a variety of cleanses and  you can get more information from them.

sounds like ingrown hairs.  they can raise like a pimple, get puss like a pimple, or fill with blood.  if they pop, they can bleed and it can be tramatic to the skin.  saying they went black, usually is just due to the blood in them or drying blood.  try soaking in a hot tub when you get them and GENTLY exfoliating the area.
