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

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’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 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.

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.

ok so im a teen girl who has bad acne. and i want to know if the proactive stuff really works, or if i should use something else.

Hi, I’m 13 and i have acne… I know it’s a normal thing for teens but my acne is just ridiculous. I have bumps that aren’t even zits on my forehead, blackheads on my nose and SLIGHTLY on my cheeks, and i get big zits every now and then… PLEASE HELP ME!! It’s driving me INSANE!!! List anything besides proactive, that improves my skin.. My skin is very sensitive so I’m leaning in towards the natural products with barely any chemicals… thank you 2 everyone who thankfully gives me an answer to this…

I am teen boy and have some acne. I have this Clean and Clear continuous acne control soap, like you push the nozzle down and foamy soap comes out. Is this good to use? Do I put it on my face and then rinse it out in the shower? When showering can I hop in, rub soap around my body, rinse it out, put this clean and clear soap on, rinse it out, and then put in this Trader Joe’s shampoo in and rinse?
Help please…
My ears are weird, like I feel sad about them. Should I wait for my doc.’s appoinment?

I am 14 and i have average acne for a teen but i really want to go see a dermatologist about it. Do you know how much it is to go see one? A session? Does it help?/Did it?

I have some acne and zits, any fast acting home remedies? Please tell me the procedure so i can get max resylts.
Thanks!

I am a 18 yr old male teen & have acne since i was 14. I realized today that i really do have acne scars – there is a cluster of red acne which leaves me red/brown marks, and i’ve had these for nearly 8 months. I wash my face 2 times a day, but no use. What proven treatments are there to solve this ? I am going to the doctors tomorrow to see what can be done….
Do you have past experiences that can be of use to me ? When did your acne vanish, do you have scars ?

Jill has sent Advanced Derm a letter to formally let the group know of her new business setup and let the team members know about the staff in which they may have contact.
Advanced Derm has agreed to meet with her marketing manager, Mark, to explore ways to grow the practice.
She asks you to research Advanced Derm’s past billing and collections history and identify in a memo to Mark what are the most common dermatologic procedures for which they have billed and collected.
Mark will then use this information as the basis for a visit to Advanced Derm to discuss suggestions on how Advanced Derm can increase patient awareness of the procedures or treatments that it does. Mark has not worked with dermatologists before so he wants to learn as much as he can about the procedures that they do.
Some of the more frequent patient visits include biopsies and skin lesion removal, suturing post removal of skin lesions, and treatment of acne vulgaris. Based upon your knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary system, what will you tell Mark in your memo about what is involved with these procedures or treatments?
