wash your face with some acne lotion and watch your diet, avoid greasy foods, junk foods etc. try to eat plenty of fresh fruit and drink plenty of water.

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).

my suggestion would be a mild Colon cleanse, all bad things start in the Colon and if it is gunked up it will cause bacteria to grow and cause lots of skin problems, I have a teen that had bad acne and we used all types of cleanser and such no help 5 days into 21 day cleanse cleared up and no problem since. for more info email me

Every acne product guarntees results so you need to search and find what works for you, otherwise washing your face and decreasing the amount of sugars and fats in your diet will help majorly. \n\nDont pick at your acne, that will only make it worse and give you bad scars. Hope i helped...

drink LOTS of water - I'm also trying vinegar right now - I've heard that if you drink a tablespoon or two of vinegar everyday it helps, not sure if it's myth or truth but worth a try.  I also switched all of my makeup to Mary Kay and started using their skincare program and that made a HUGE difference.... good luck, acne is SO annoying....

One inexpensive thing to try is changing your diet. Some recommendations are:\n\n- eat fewer fatty foods, especially trans fats. Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are in a lot of fast food and junk food, such as Oreos and fried foods\n\n- eat more protein, mostly found in meat, but also in tofu and lentils\n\n- eat less grains, i.e. bread, spaghetti, pizza. This  and eating more protein has helped many friends of mine with their skin\n\n- don't have chocolate or coffee. These are not proven to have any relation to acne, but some doctors think certain people have skin reactions when they eat or drink a lot of it.\n\n\nI hope this helps! You'll have to experiment and see what works for you! Best of luck to you.

The dermatologists can help get rid of the acne. But the problem could reoccur since it comes due to hormones among other factors. Time is the best cure but you can prevent by some good sking creams (consult dermatologists).\n\nRead more about Acne here:\nhttp://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne

Don't pop 'em!  That can actually spread the problem. I kept my face clean, stayed away from all the "trigger" foods, took medication.... I hate to sound like a commercial but I've had acne for ...well...years and nothing ever worked until I got Proactiv.  It really works.

first Q is how old are u and of course male or female and do u still have new acne or not?if u just have the old acne scar its better if u go and visit a dermatologist thats something they call  pilling they have a superficial and a deeper one with fruits acids(its too safe )and with this u can try microdermabration and some oint and ... no need to take any tablet ....but its better to dont start treatment without a dermatologist idea.

you probably have 'combination skin' which usually means pimples on forehead not on the cheeks. Look for cleansing products that help combination skin.\nHealthy skin is definately not expensive, cleansers and moisturisers all do the same thing - they cleanse and moisturise. Not sure if you have QV WASH where you are (available in chemists) but it is really good and cheap.\nStay away from chemicals and avoid quick fixes

Hi,\n\nI totally know where you're coming from.  I struggled with really, really bad acne about 2 years ago.  Intially I tried tetra-cyclin and retin-a.  However, my skin got freakishly dry and I started getting a weird rash on my face.  \n\nI quickly stopped taking them and tried Proactive.  That sure was a waste of money.  I finally started showering directly after the gym and found that this helped tremendously.  I also tried a free product I got on the net called Beautiful Skin.  Believe it or not, it worked way better than the prescription stuff!  I only paid $4.95 for shipping for a month supply.  I re-ordered and I use it to make sure I don't get back my zits.  It also has tea tree oil which feels really good on my skin.\n\nHere's the link if you want to get it, I think it's the best thing I've ever bought for the price $4.95\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/beautiful-skin.php\n\nGood Luck!

I have had mild acne for about 2 years now, and I have tried many topicals, trying to find a "cure." I have researched a lot about this skin condition, but couldn't find very many reliable sources, and almost all of them say the same thing.\nI do not think acne is "curable," and you have to cope with in adolescence, but there are steps that you can take to make your face better.\nDo not try harsh topical treatments, or ANY KIND OF PILLS!!! Do not consume pills, since most (or maybe all of them) have bad side effects. Accutane has horrible body side effects, and is a total killer to babies inside pregnant women, and once you quit taking accutane, acne comes back for sure. I had tried consuming nutrient suppliments to make my acne better, but they produced little effect. Also, I do not rely on any other active ingredients than salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.\nI had come across a very helpful site for an ultimate "prevention" to acne.\n\nwww.acne.org\n\nIt may initially sound like a very simple and "common" website, but it has a very powerful regimen that you may use to treat your acne. Very simple:\n- Wash your face with a GENTLE CLEANSER.\n- Apply your face with 2.5% BENZOYL PEROXIDE. Wash.\n- Apply your face with a GENTLE MOISTURIZER.\n\nThis regimen works for almost everyone who TRIED it. Most of these people had previously tried everything on the market and still haven't been successful with their acne. Do not overlook this. I greatly thank the guy who has experimented with this regimen and written the site.\nThe reason why this works is because your skin must not get dried or irritated. You might probably want to improve your acne, no matter how your skin turns out to be. That's not the case. If you dry or irritate your skin, your acne gets worse. That is why benzoyl peroxide (B.P.) products at 10% concentrations are really bad for your acne, because these guys irritate your skin EXTREMELY easily. The manufacturers put it on market only to "attract" consumers by flashing products with high B.P. concentrations and make profit.\nHowever, a 2.5% B.P. product is much better, since it produces much less dryness and irritation. B.P. gradually penetrates your pores and kills acne bacteria, and (as a bonus) your skin cannot produce resistance to this substance (unlike salicylic acid). The pore-penetrating and bacteria-killing properties of 2.5% B.P. is just as powerful as the 10% B.P., but much better for your skin and much more effective for acne (read the paragraph above).\nIt is important that you cleanse your face with a cleanser before applying B.P. since it gets rid of a lot of dirt and oil from your face. Application of B.P. is much better done on clean skin.\nMoisturizing is a MUST, since it prevents irritation from the B.P. (I think it is good using it after applying just any other product that can cause skin drying and irritation). Make sure your moisturizer does not have any oil, since oil makes your acne worse. I use Loreal Hydra-Renewal.\nMake sure you start this regimen slowly. It is not good to start using benzoyl peroxide (if this is your first time or haven't used it for a long time) at a frequent rate. You must believe this regimen will work. Do not give up since it really works. READ THE WEBSITE FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. A major mistake of many people is that they give up too easily. But if you really want your acne to get better, I suggest that you trust this regimen, and follow it precisely. I hope this has been helpful, but you'd better read the information supplied at the site above. Dont forget to write positive feedback to the guy who made the site, hehehe. Good bye ^^\n\nEdit: Do this regimen at night. If you do it at day and you go out, you might damage your skin easily because of the B.P. And also be patient. This works a little slowly, but is ultra effective.\n\nEdit: If you are really impatient about a big pimple, you may try t

ok listen to me....\n\nboil some hot water and if u have some camomille tea add in a bag. take a towel and put it over ur head, steam ur face good with the water... be careful dont burn uirself.  then after 15 minutes pop ur pimples.   get a good natural face mask recipe from the internet and use that to close ur pores.( it may be gross but it healthy and its in the privacy of ur own home) then get deep clean (neutrogena) ........ \n\nsome other things that are good are some natural things like did u know that honey is good for pimples..... its true search it on the internet and eggs close pores.... natural is always best.\nat loeast try it and if it don't work then i dunno it never hurts to try\n\nP.S. im 14 (i dont have acne but my bro does) thats wat my mom taught us....\n\nid love to know if it works for u !!! good luck

You can't get rid of period acne, as long as you are having periods they will come.You can however try to keep it in control as much as you can. I have it too, but what i do is try to eat healthy, you also need iron to put back what you are losing. You can even talk to a doctor, maybe he can give you something to help make it look better and painless. I know they sometimes come with pain as well.

Wash you face several times a day and use an acne cream, for that you can ask your pharmacist to reccommend one.  But most improtant keep your hands off your face (your hands carry lots of germs), and don't pick at it.  \nSo,\nWASH  (keep it clean)\nACNE CREAM\nHANDS OFF.\n\nGood luck & God Bless!

you should go see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist.\nthey usually prescribe you antibiotic medicine (both in tablet and lotion form), which is quite effective.\n\nalso, use body wash and care product that suit your skin type, or ones that can help your skin to regulate oil secretion.\n\nmost importantly, sleep well(don't go sleep later than 11pm), eat good, and keep healthy:D let your body do its own job regulating itself, and your acne problem will soon get better:D
