hi guys
so im a teen..
i dont exactly have typical acne…
pretty much my whole face is clear
except i get these white heads surrounding my lips/ mouth / chin area,..
its really embarassing.
i try to pop them cause they hurt.. and i get all the white out but then it takes forever for it to create a scab , then it stays there for the longest time!
i know its bad to pop them, but it hurts when theres gross stuff in my face..
i cover them with makeup..
but im looking for something to basically make them stop appearing/make them go away
i figured i would just try Proactiv.. ive heard it makes ppl’s face red.. but apparently it supposed to turn red, then get better? (and im aware not everything works for every1)
i use a face wash now, ive been through many brands and nothing seems to help!
proactiv .. or something else?
this is just getting way too embarassing since its only around my mouth.
thanks

ok, im a teen, and ive had problems with acne since i was 12. so i went to my dr, and she prescribed DuAc, and that worked well for a year, but since they’re antibiotics, your body gets immune to them. So they stopped working. i went back to the dr, and she prescribed Differin. i thought this would work, but its been a month and my skin has gotten a million times worse. i HATE having acne, its really really really gross to me and i feel very ugly. so, what system has worked for your acne? i’m thinking of asking my mom to order ClearPores, but i dont know if it will be another failed system. i DO NOT want accutane, so thats not an option either.
oh, and ive tried a bunch of over-the-counter creams and whatnot in between these treatments, NONE of them work.

I’ve got all these post-acne marks on my face. Dark red spots that just won’t go away. What can I eat to support healthy regeneration of my skin so that these spots can fade?

I used accutane about 7 years ago and don’t really want to resort to that again.

i am getting really REALY annoyed with my disgusting pimply skin and was wondering if the pill actually helps acne?
are there any side effects for teen girls using it?

I am a teen with really oily skin. I’ve been struggling with acne for about a year now. my forehead and chin are the main places i get zits and i want them to be gone. I will accept home remedies, or products but only if you KNOW it works. Thank you so much for your help!

I’ve had it bad since hitting my early teens. I am now in my early twenties and i still have it bad. I’ve tried the creams, the masks, the liquids, everything and still nothing works. My mom even took me to a skin doctor when i was fourteen but her stuff did not work either. Any other ideas that i’ve missed?

I am 27, never had acne or pimples as a teen and as I am getting older I am getting more and more breakouts. But it isnt on my face its on my neck, shoulders, and chest, occassionally my cheeks or chin but not often. My skin is sensitive, I find that noxema and clearsil, and clean and clear all worsen the breakouts. Any suggestions on something that isnt based towards teens or that could be for sensitive skin, please and thanks?

I’m a teen that suffers from mile acne on both my face and my upper back. What works better, over-the- counter or holistic products?
My mother has gotten very herbal and holistic this past year, and believes in all these crack-pot things like the world is ending and “the secret” and has been watching youtube videos posted by people who obviously suffer from paranoia and other mental disorders. She used to be someone I trusted in regard to opinions, but with her current lifestyle i really can’t put my faith in her. I used to use Retin A for clearing acne and prevention, it worked but i haven’t used it in 6 month or so and well now acne has invaded my face. 6 month ago when I ran out, my mother told me to use these remedies, some very holistic stuff, and even though I was unsure, I trusted her and took it, I’ve been using it and it has really no effect. I really no longer have faith in her and she won’t allow me to even buy myself acne cream because she believes it is poisonous to my skin. Please help me. I’ve become very self conscious and I stopped swimming because if my back acne I’m receiving low grades in gym because I can’t change in the locker rooms and always come unprepared.

i have a huge pimple ( or at least that whats i think it is) on the side of my nose and its very tender and red. im in my teens so i know acne is common but ive never had one like this its about the size of a dime and i wonder if it really is a pimple or something else. school starts in a few days i dont want to go looking like this if you have any acne cures or think it might be something else please help!

I know a boy who is 15 and masturbates at least once a day. He has acne and want to know if he has acne coz of the masturbation.
thx all from washington d.c.

I read up online that if you freeze you acne it helps get rid of it. How does that work and does it work? Also, are there any other ways to get rid of it without treating products? I will pick a best answer.

I’m a teen and have absolutely horrible acne, there isn’t a smooth spot on my nose! i get to embarrassed to go out and end up using so much makeup that makes my acne worse. I’ve tried proactive and it didn’t work for me, i need a natural way to get rid of my acne without spending a lot of money, help!! =[

i have tried everything! i used proativ on my back, neutrogena body wash, i have tried exfoliating it, i have tried pronexin. everything. i was it every day and use a cream that heals acne that’s already there. im graduating soon and have an open back dress. please help me! do you have any suggestions or could you tell me how you solved your problem. PLEASE PLEASE.

ok, so i have pretty bad acne, and I use neutrogena acne stress control cream cleanser day and night.
If i add a 10 mg zinc (organic gluconate) tablet everyday, will that help clear my acne?
im only a teen but should i be taking more than 10 mg?
and how long does it take to see results.
