I have bad acne and sensitive skin. Clearasil, ivory soap, and most common remedies haven’t helped much. Does anyone have any suggestions?

i’m 23 and during my teen years i would get acne on the back of my neck and some on my face and most on my back, i hardly get anymore on my face, maybe 1 a month usually but my back still has some and im’ embarrassed to take off my shirt on hot days while outside playin basketball, is it gonna go away as i get older or are my hormones just outta control?

My wedding is in august, but ive been suffering from acne for about 6 years now, i have a strapless gown, and i don’t want my acne to be a horrible memory of my wedding..its on my back and shoulders..not to mention my face.. what do i do to get rid of it within 2 months?

It is still lasting until now that is 4 months already. During this time, I still take vgetarian food (not meat). In the past, I sometimes had acnes but never pimple on forehead, chest, back. Now, not only acne but also pimple on those places. Someone said that my toxins are going out. But, I am worried how long this thing will be last. Do we have any treatment for it? Thanks.

I STARTED GETTING ACNE WHEN I WAS JUST 11YEARS OLD! I CURRENTLY HAVE IT NOW I’M 15. MY SISTER IS 13 GOING ON 14 IN DEC. AND SHE DOESN’T HAVE ONE PUMP ON HER FACE. I MAINLY GET PIMPLES ON MY FORRHEAD, MY CHIN, MY NOSE, AND ABOVE MY LIP. I HAVE SOME ON MY CHEEK ALSO. WHAT CAN I DO? SHE LOOKS AT ME WEIRD BECAUSE I HAVE ACNE AND SHE THINKS SHES SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE OF IT.
MY MOTHER HAD ACNE ALSO WHEN SHE WAS MY AGE, BUT AT 17 IT STARTED TO GO AWAY NOW HER FACE IS COMPLETELY SMOOTH. IT’S NOT ONE BUMP ON HER FACE. I HAVE MOST OF HER GENES SO WILL THAT BE THE CASE FOR ME? AND BECAUSE MY SISTER NEVER HAD ACNE DURING HER TEEN YEARS, WILL SHE GET ACNE IN HER LATE TEENS? I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY?

Acne has really ruined my life. My teen years with acne were okay to deal with… but now.. being that im a 24 yr old college graduate… I have very low self esteem. Acne is horrible..horrible and those with clear skin should feel blessed. I have spent so much money on products and birth control….. i’ve used retin a, proactive, differn, obagei nuderm(high as hell)…effalar….Clearasil…yaz….Ot… low….yasmin…. i drink tons of water and i pray. I also have acne on my back and Alto of pigmentation. It;s really hard being me. I not understanding why me….my mom has acne but mine is worst. I’ve been talk about and laughed at all my life. All my boyfriends have cheated on me for women with beautiful skin. I know most men cheat but that’s why i feel that im being cheated on because im self conscious about my back/body because of acne. I have another appt with my derm in a couple of weeks. Im trying not to be so negative but im kinda wondering what can he do for a person like me. i just started taking ortho tri cyceln. i heard it helps. this is my first week on it. If you guys could give me feedback on what could be used so that i can be a normal person and be free of acne and pigmented skin/ i feel that acne is a curse.

i’m 17 i have noticed that some teens around my age either in my school or outside have clear skin, like as if they never had ance ever in their life. is it a genetic thing? or is it becuase they take care of their face really well?

The back acne is on my back, chest and arms! It’s so embarrassing! I don’t even wear a 2 peice swim suit anymore.

Ok, I am going to step out of my comfort zone and be honest. I do think that I am pretty, but I’m not gorgeous which is totally fine. It’s just that I have acne scars on my face, not awful but I just hate it. I wish that I didn’t have acne scars but it’s just part of who I am I guess. People always tell me I’m pretty but I don’t feel it all the time. I wonder if it’s the first thing people notice about me, but people close to me tell me that they don’t notice it. I know there are surgical procedures to help, but I don’t have the money to do it now. I take care of my skin but it’s just that I had acne as a teen.
Honestly, just because someone has scars, do you think that takes away from them being pretty or good looking? Honestly. I am NOT looking for re assurance or sympathy at all, this is just a straight up question. I’m 26 by the way, I’m not one of those young girls asking the typical ‘am I pretty?” questions. I’m just asking in general, do you think people with flaws like acne scars makes them unattractive?
I hardly ever break out anymore because the dermatologist gave me meds. I use to have cystic acne. The dermatologist said when I asked her, she said that my scars are moderate, not severe. I would do anything to have mild scars. haha. But hey, I’m glad I’m not perfect, no one is. But I guess it just makes it more fun to play with makeup.
My feelings were kind of hurt because I am a hair stylist and I just left a salon to work at a more upscale salon. I heard (and know for a fact) that the facialist was telling someone how bad my scars are and that I don’t wear enough makeup to cover them. I consider the source because she is known to backstab, but I admit it did hurt my feelings a bit.
Thanks! : )

I thought that after my teen years ended, I wouldn’t have it anymore. They flare up mainly right before my menstrual cycle starts back up again. I HATE it!

Well I’ve had a really bad case of back acne for a while and I was wondering if there were any home remedies using every day stuff to get rid of this acne it really has annoyed me and it hurts a lot or if not what is something I could buy that would help.

i have acne and everytthing i use seem to make my pores bigger. please let me know if there is some sort of solution or cream that will get rid of all my acne (on my forehead and nose)
