Try detoxification. Detox, short for detoxification, in general is the removal of toxic substances from the body.\n\nA detox diet is a dietary regimen involving a change in consumption habits in an attempt to detoxify the body by removal of toxins or other contaminants. It is claimed to improve health, energy, resistance to disease, mental state, digestion, as well as aiding in weight loss.\n\nVarious methods of modifying the diet for the said purpose of detoxification include:\n\nFasting, including water fasting and juice fasting. \nIncreased consumption of fish such as salmon \nFood combining. \nCaloric restriction. \nHerbal detox (if one considers herbs food and not a form of drug). \nMaster Cleanse also known as the lemonade fast, terms coined to refer to the fasting paradigm penned by Stanley Burroughs[1] \nDetox diets usually suggest that fruits and vegetables compose a majority of one's food intake. Limiting this to unprocessed (and sometimes also non-GM) foods is often advocated. Limiting or eliminating alcohol is also a major factor, and drinking more water (which helps curb appetite) is similarly recommended.\n\nSome proponents of detox diets would emphasize it as a lifestyle, rather than a diet. It has made some appearances in the media, such as the film Super-Size Me. Literary references include "Ultimate Lifetime Diet"[1] by Gary Null advocating veganism as a (lifestyle) method of detoxification.\n\nIf there is a rapid shift in diet that results in toxin release into the bloodstream faster than the body can eliminate it (such as burning fat that stores toxins), the body can become polluted in what is called the Herxheimer reaction.

That depends on whether they are pimples or calcium deposits.  Either way, the best way to get rid of them would be to see a dermatologist.  They can prescribe a treatment or medication to help clear skin if it is acne. Or if it is calcium deposits, they will normally do a skin treatment to remove the outermost layer of skin then prescribe a medication to help absorb excess calcium in your body.

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

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.

Go to your doctor. Your doctor can prescirbe you with a hormone controlling pill that will balance your hormones. Acne is a result of hormonal imbalances. It doesnt matter that it is on your buttox. Taking the prescription will balance your hormones and rid you of any acne.

Same here. You should try to wash your clean twice a day and use any acne medicine, I usually use SeaBreeze.

Take a nice long bath, and just soak in the bathtub. When you get out, make sure to put on lots of lotion. And if you have acne, use some Clearasil. If you have a fungus infection somewhere on your body you can use anti-funal cream(purchased at any drugstore or wal mart) . Hopefully a good bath, lotion, clearasil, and anti-fungal cream will help you with your breakouts. \n\nGood Luck, hun.

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

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..

There's not much you can do for prevention - it's just hormones going crazy and you just have to grin and bear it (we've all been there!) However, to get rid of your acne once it's there is different. Toothpaste is a quick and simple solution - just put a little blob on each spot before going to sleep and they'll dry up overnight, gaining a crusty head that is then much easier to pop. Hope it clears up soon (and it will - I had v bad acne from 16-19 years old but once it was over boy was I relieved!)

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.

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.

no product gets rid of acne. but there are plenty of products that cause it: junk food, lotsa bread and cheese, refined sugars. remember: acne is a parasitic virus. remove its food supply (junk foods) and it will remove itself. cut the above foods from your diet, fast on water for three days every other month and eat lotsa of dandelion (no really!!). Do this for at least six months and as long as you don;t go back on the junk food diet, you should be acne free!!! yipeee!!! good luck!!

Prevention\n\nConstipation is the main reason of acne. Treat it immediately, if you have.\nDrink lots of water to prevent major skin problems.\nAvoid eating chocolate, fried food, and refined sugar.\nKeep your skin always clean by washing with very mild soaps and lukewarm water.\nDo not try to prick and peel the acne as this can leave permanent marks on the face.\nEat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.\nTake B-complex and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.\nApply cucumber paste on your face. Wash it off after 20-30 minutes with lukewarm water.

Don't rely on acne cream and medication from the store. Your acne sounds very severe, and you need to get to a dermatologist. He or she can treat your acne more effectively with stronger prescription creams and medication. Please go as soon as you can to prevent anymore scarring.
