tell your niece to take a bath daily in hot water and vinegar (if acne on body) or wash her face daily with hot water and vinegar, this will clear her up and then she just needs to do it every so often to keep it clear

Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland).\n\nThe condition is common in puberty as a result of an abnormal response to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The response for most people diminishes over time and acne thus tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches their early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take for it to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer from acne decades later, into their thirties and forties and even beyond. Acne affects a large percentage of humans at some stage in life.\n\nThe term acne comes from a corruption of the Greek άκμή (acme in the sense of a skin eruption) in the writings of Aëtius Amidenus.\n\nExactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary. Several factors are known to be linked to acne:\n\nHormonal activity, such as menstrual cycles \nStress, through increased output of hormones from the adrenal (stress) glands \nHyperactive sebaceous glands, secondary to the three hormone sources above \nAccumulation of dead skin cells \nBacteria in the pores, to which the body becomes 'allergic' \nSkin irritation or scratching of any sort will activate inflammation \nUse of anabolic steroids \nAny medication containing halogens (iodides, chlorides, bromides), lithium, barbiturates, or androgens \nExposure to high levels of chlorine compounds, particularly chlorinated dioxins, can cause severe, long-lasting acne, known as Chloracne \n\n\nYou can check out for the possible cures of acne at the given site \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne

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!)

Birth controls in general can either improve or worsen your acne depending on the person.  One they are advertising now as a fix for acne is estrostep FE.  However be aware that the manufacturer states that if your intention of taking it is for acne then you must be on it for at least 6 months to see the full results.  Any oral medication for acne must usually be taken for at least 3 months to have its full effect.

When we discuss the problem ACNE, it is particularly inexhaustible topic and believe me I know what I am talking about,dear.The acne solution Solodyn has one active ingredient, which has shown over the years very positive results in curing or alleviating acne, namely the antibiotic Minocycline ( actually it is from the group of the tetracycline's as Doxicycline, Erythromicyne,etc). I ave no idea about the severity of acne you have, is it mild,cystic, but at any event the choice of the therapy should be administered by a dermatology st, because no creams over the counter help in this skin condition. Then another vital point is the healthy living and the specified diet, a balanced one, the intake of plenty of pure water ( if you drink at least 8 glasses a day you would observe great results),eating of raw veggies and fruits. There are so many factors that are causing aggravation of acne,especially the stress.Well, as to "Solodyn" it can either work well for you or not, that is the truth,for the sake of the personal response to the medication( to some people just Minocyclyne is not strong enough) and your dermatologyst prescribed you only topical solution without a medicine for the peroral intake? It's not wise, the best results are obtained when there is synchronized topical and internal treatment. If you ask me I would recommend you as one of the best choices Zynerit,which contains the antibiotic Erythromycin and Zink, it is proven the effect and this antibiotic works best among the others.\nI think I should stop writing, because as I said from the beginning it is inexhaustible theme. If you need contact me, I will help you with whatever I could.\nTake care.Do not feel down because of pimples, please..\nHave a great time!

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

hormones and stress cause acne.  Sometimes if you are not eating healthy that will cause some pimples.  Try lots of water (8 glasses a day) veggies and fruit, exercise and lay off the sweets!

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.

Contrary to what you may have heard, acne is not caused by dirty skin, eating chocolate, or drinking lots of soda. Acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin. These glands become stimulated when puberty hormones become active. Some people have more of a reaction to their hormone levels than others, which is why different people have different levels of acne.\n\nAlthough there is no surefire way to prevent acne, there are several ways to help reduce the number and severity of your breakouts. \n\nWashing your skin is essential (it helps remove excess surface oils and dead skin cells that can clog your pores), but washing too much can actually cause damage by overdrying your skin or irritating existing acne. \n\nRemember to wash after exercising because sweat can clog your pores and make your acne worse. If you work around greasy food or oil or if you've been sweating from heat or because you've been working hard, wash your face and other acne-prone areas as soon as possible.\n\nIf you use skin products, such as lotions or makeup, look for ones that are noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic, which means that they don't clog pores. \n\nIf you can't live without your hair spray or styling gel, be sure to keep them away from your face as much as possible. Many hair products contain oils that can make acne worse. \n\nIf you get acne on areas such as your chest or back, avoid wearing tight clothes, which can rub and cause irritation. \n\nSome teens find that over-the-counter products can help clear up acne. It may take some time to find the one that works best for you - some may not do the trick and others may cause irritation. Over-the-counter acne products come in different strengths; the typical acne-fighting ingredients are benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. \n\nIf you find over-the-counter products aren't working for you, it's best to seek a doctor's advice. A doctor can prescribe special gels or creams, pills, or a combination of both. It may feel a bit awkward or embarrassing to talk about your acne with someone, especially a stranger, but your doctor is trained to help get your skin looking its best. \n\nWhat about pimples you already have? It's tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple usually won't get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push infected material and pus further into the skin, which can lead to more swelling and redness (not what you want before a big date!), and even scarring, which can be permanent.\n\nIf you are taking a prescription acne medication, finish your entire prescription even if your skin clears up, unless your dermatologist says you can stop. If you stop too early, there's a chance your skin could break out all over again.\n\nEating nutritious foods can help keep you healthy of course, and your skin will benefit from getting enough vitamins and minerals. But the bottom line is that you don't need to be obsessive about what you eat or how often you wash your face to control acne. If you don't find an over-the-counter product that works for you, talk to your doctor or a dermatologist for some advice on living through the acne years.
