Hi, I’m 12.5 and I’ve never really had much breakouts. I have other puberty signs and possible first period signs (NO!!! lol) like lower stomach cramps. Anyways, I don’t have spotting or acne, does every teen have acne and is it ok if I don’t?

Here’s a quick breakdown.
During sleep I develop a greasey skin problem, after washing and showering my face becomes dry and can have bits of dry skin on forhead and chin (especially if i rub) i keep getting not-bad-acne but more spots than any normal teen should be having let alone a 20 year old.. what shall i do?

When I was teen I had a lot of spots on my back and shoulders,unfortunately I myself made them into scars.?Now I’m 28 and I can’t show my shoulders in beautiful dresses bcz of the scars.I really want to change the bad condition!

if your looking for a good affordable drugstore cleanser for acne then stay here! so yes i know this isnt a question…but i just wanted to get this out there to people…im a “normal” teenage girl and i suffer from teen acne (puberty obviously). im embarrassed by my skin. ive tried a bunch of different drugstore facial cleaners, moisturizers, toner, etc. none of them have worked for me. not cetaphil, clean and clear..anything really. i have to pay for my own products btw. i was thinking about ordering pro active when my mom told me she heard some good things about “Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therepy System”. so i went to walgreens.com and they said they were having a sale on it. 19.99$. plus it comes with a litle clear acne spot treatment thing. (btw i have extreeeeemely oily skin) so i got it yesterday…washed my face and did the step by step and did it again this morning…my skin ALREADY looks great. its brought out the color and texture in my skiin as well as reduced my breakouts. of course my skin isnt fully cleared but im going to continue to use this and i cant wait to see how my skin looks in about a week. =) take my advice and TRY THIS STUFF OUT while the sale is still going at walgreens! good luck!

what are the best products to get rid of and prevent teen acne ? im a 15 year old girl with not that much acne. thanks alot! if you could explain what the product is with the full name would be greatly appreciated.like., does it dry out your skin or something ?

I have pimples/acne on my back, and it hurts very bad. I mean all over my back. How do I get rid of it? (in a cheap way) I want to try Proactiv but I don’t know if it will actualy work, and I don’t think I have enough money for it. Help Me Please. i feel confused about thing store from help rid of acne and pimlpes

Hello,
I just need some skin advice, basically i am an 18 years old girl, and i have had mainly sensitive/dry skin throughout my life, usually teens tend to get acne, spots and oily skin at this time, but my skin has been more like reddish, dry, etc. However sometimes i get really oily on the nose so it might be combination, i have tried so many products from clinique(it was horrible:’(…i didnt want to go out ffor days, it gave me an allergic reaction!!) , dermalogica, clarins, all didnt work , now im using environ, its all good however ijust want advice like some people say cleanse and exfoliate and moisturise , and then some people tell me to use like 6 products:|!!! and go to regular facials aswell and i mean im just confuse, as to what is the basic steps that i can achieve good healthy skin with, i dont have a specific problem like acne or something, its the dryness and flare ups, i get red, but not rosacea..
also for exfoliant i use homemade one, which is oats., because i react to other ones from the stores.
i will apperciate all the advice weather its to do with products or steps or lifestyle changes..
thank you:) x

Ok. Where do I start?
About two or three years ago, every summer I would get these horribly itchy bumps on my calves. When summer was over they would fade away. This year they have spread to my thighs, butt, mid back, breasts, and they still are on my calves. I am scratching all of those areas raw.
They are slightly raised, VERY itchy red bumps that are randomly dispersed in those eras.
I know sweating makes it worse. And it always itches the most right before bed.
I know what it is not. Flea/Tick bites, bed bugs, Hives, epidermolysis bullasa acquisita, rosacea, pet allergy , Eczema, or acne.
I have changed my soap to dove, and basically do a “military wash”. I also do not apply any lotions or perfumes to my body.
I have tried hydrogen cortisone lotion and it made the itching worse. I had a hydrogen cortisone shot and it did not really help. I was on antibiotics, which cleared it up for a time. Tacrolimus ointment helps, but I was only told to apply it for two weeks, that was two months ago. If I do not put the ointment on for one day the itching is as bad as ever. I was also given eletone cream but it does not help at all. It actually makes it worse. For a while, just to relive the constant itching, I was spraying jock itch medicine on my legs, but it eventually stopped helping.
The dermatologist thought it was razor burn/infection that is now spreading up my body, but none of the medicine she gave me really made a difference. I even got an electric razor and rarely shave my legs, but it does not help.
My family, or boyfriend, does not have any of these symptoms, so it is not contagious.
Im an 18 year old, female. and I live in Madera California, and have horrible hay fever (I do not know if it is related). I have 2 dogs, and 2 cats that often sleep with me. I also sleep on a water bed that occasionally leaks, and causes mold. Aging, I do not know if that is related.
Please someone help. It is literally driving me crazy. My boyfriend cannot even touch my leg without sending me into a scratching frenzy.

ok, so ive been on acne treatment for months, since like March. Ive been on evoclin foam in the a.m and atralin(tretonin) at night. The first few months were ok, i saw improvement. But in the last 2, there’s been no improvement and even got some new pimples. My skin gets really oily and darker during the day; i don’t know why. After i workout and then shower, my skin looks the clearest and i notice redness almost exactly about 1 inch below my eyes on both sides. I was wondering if this could be rosacea. I am light brown skin (mix of white and brown) and i just turned 18 last June 25. My skin feels really sensitive,warm, sticky(when i touch my face). Right now i cleansed my face with a very gentle cleanser,still looks darker than what i really am and feels warm and sticky.I always wear sunblock spf 30when i go outside. So i was wondering, could this be rosacea? What could it be? Should i stop using these acne medications immediately? Could it not be realted to these medications and be rosacea? help please, im desperate.

Im 14 years old, and i have this redness on my face! I use acne medications,and i know its not from sunburn. could i had extra exposure to the sun? or is it something like rosacea? Any type of home remedies I can use so I could get rid of it. the school year is coming up, and i dont feel like covering it with concealer,and foundation. Thanks for all your help!!

I am 16 years old. I have been taking a oral antiboitic solodyn for about 3-4 weeks now, once a day and also apply cetaphil( gentle cleanser) and epiduo( acne gel) to my face once a day. I developed a few marks on my face this morning and they are very ugly and unsual. They are random red patches of skin that won’t lessen in color. They are a medium shade of red, very dry and rough looking, a little scaly( VERY little) and extremely itchy as well as burning. Along with them my face has been flushing and blushing all day….a fairly dark shade of red.
if you have any idea please let me know! =]

What products do you use? PLEASE tell me your routine.
‘Cause I get little bumps all over my face & oily skin and yeah please help
I just wanna be CLEAR.

Ok, I am a 17 year old. I have had acne since I was about 12 and have been on many acne meds (Retin A, Ziana…etc). My face tends to get really, really red. It feels very hot to the touch and looks red all over, with emphasis on my cheeks, especially when embarrassed. It gets so bad that some are my friends are like “You’re almost purple!” Which tends to get really annoying…I also take hot showers so this might contribute to the redness. I have a dermatologist, but she hasn’t said anything even when I told her about the redness, but I will bring it up the next time I see her. If you have any suggestions to help with redness, please tell me.

alright–i wnt to a dermatoligist like last year and he said i have dry skin–well………..its verry red, bumpy, and it keeps spreading all over my face and is VERY embarassing. it is NOT acne. can anyone reccomend treatment or a good dermatoligist around the cincinnnati area?? that would be AMAZING!!!

Please help!
Im 17 and have had acne since i was about 13…Ive tried everything, most oral antibiotics and different creams and have also been to a dermatologist several times. I have also been on the pill dianette for over a year which has helped my acne a bit but not any more than all the other treatments have worked.
Basically, while certain antibiotics have been good at clearing the actual spots around my forehead and nose up, when I come off these the spots start to come back. I was on lymecycline recently and that cleared all my spots up but I came off it about a month ago and they are starting to come back.
The main thing is though, its not r4eally the spots that bother me because i don’t really have very many of them. My chin, and areas around my nose are just really inflamed and red (I find in natural light and outside this does not look so bad and my skin actually looks quite clear, but in bright lighting my skin looks really really disgusting and red and inflamed.) I think I got this type of acne on my chin when I was about 14 as before that my acne was just spots.
At first I thought this inflammation was scarring but the dermatologist has said my acnes not scarring so I don’t know what else it could be, as I have never seen anyone with this type of acne as everyone else just seems to have spots and I don’t know what type of acne mine is called? I thought it might me acne rosacea, which I have heard of, but the dermatologists would have identified this ?
Anyway, I have tried everything for my skin and its really getting me down as I desperately want clear skin and I done know what to do. The doctors said the only thing left for me to try is roaccutane (the dermatologist put me on the cream version of roaccutane called differein cream before as they said it would have the same benefits for me, but without the side effects…but this hasn’t worked)….but they also said my acne isn’t severe enough to use this, and also its got really bad side effects. But they say this is the only thing left for me to try which really scares me because what if that doesn’t even work?
Anyway, this is really getting me down and does anyone have any advice on this please? Id really appreciate it…
Thankyou,
Jen xxxx
