I have acne since 16 years but they have reduced since than. My problem is that i want to get rid of them. Can somebody tell me how to solve the problem. Is there anything a i can do to make them disappear?

I am 24 years old, and for the last 18 months I have been having a frequent reoccurring rash-like problem on my forehead. I thought it was due to old makeup, so I ditched what I was using and bought something new.. but putting anything on my forehead made it worse, so I stopped using foundation and/or cover-up on my forehead, except when the redness was so terrible, I had to cover it up. I have been through numerous facial moisturizers, cleansers, etc.. nothing is working. The only “temporary” (and I use the term loosely) solution I have come up with seems to be a spritz of rosemary/grape seed water and a thin layer of clean & clear oil-free moisturizer. It’ll go away for the day, or just a few hours, but always comes back.
The rash looks like an acne breakout, but I find it hard to believe because I have had wonderful clean, clear, smooth skin all my life. Even in high school I had a rare occurrences of zits. The bumps are tiny, with pin/pore-sized white heads that never form into pimples and are easily broken by a gentle facial exfoliating brush. This problem even spreads down my temples a bit, and when I do not gently exfoliate my forehead daily (which causes flare ups, too..yippee), the area becomes very flaky and peels. I have only seen one forum post somewhere that sounds similar and it was somehow connected to a dandruff problem spreading to the forehead (and I’ve had dandruff all of my life).
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. And please, no immature posts or posts from anyone who has little knowledge of this and simply tells me to use Proactive or Clearasil because they are pimples. I have used those types of products, even Rosacea-friendly cleansers (because my mother has Rosacea and I know it’s a possibility I may have that), to see if they would help and they have not. In fact, the alcohol in things like Proactive would only irritate my skin more as I tried using alcohol-related skin products and it only causes me to get overly dry and very irritated.
Thanks to all who respond.
Oh and no, I have not seem a doctor or dermatologist yet simply because I do not have health insurance and am very low on the green stuff..

How do you (if you are a teenager now) combat your acne problem, if you have acne. Luckily, I am seventeen, have not had acne during my lifetime,yay for me! Anyway, and if you are an adult as of now, how did you combat your acne problem when you were a teenager?

I started taking the birth control pill Loestrin because I didn’t want to gain weight and its side effects were supposedly very slight. I haven’t gained weight, but it has wrecked my skin! I have never had trouble with acne, not even in my teen years, but I do now (and I am 27). I don’t want to stop taking Loestrin- what else can I do about this?

I’ve got really weird skin problems. it looks like acne but than again it looks like rosacea. i do get breakouts but the rest of my skin Isnt actually breakouts. but than the rest of my face is redness. and i cant afford to go to the dermatologist. so does this sound like rosacea? if so are there any over the counter treatments i can use for it? i’ve had the skin problem ever sence i was 12. and i’m 20 now. i’ve tried multiple different things to make my skin better but i’ve been living with it for 8 years. thanks for ur help.

i don’t think its rosacea but it might be.. its acne on my forehead but its not even taht noticeable.. but its there, and my nose gets red real easily. my acne or whatever was only on one side of my forehead and now its in the center and on the side of my face.. whats going on

Ok. I have two friends and were close. But sometimes, mainly when around other people, they make jokes about me, like they hate me. I have acne rosacea, so my cheeks get red sometimes. They tease me about this sometimes, and I know we should all laugh at ourselves now and then, but this is almost daily, and I have asked them to stop and they won’t. They never act this way though if it’s just me and them over at my house. They always say “we were joking” but I tell them “OK thats fine if you joke every now and then but i have asked you not to make fun of me cheeks because i am having them taken care of” and i ask them not to do it so much….every now and then is fine, but they do it too much. Like my other friend does it every now and then and I’m fine with it.
Like the other day I was at one of my friends house and he shot me with an airsoft gun and it was fine i just wanted to see how much it hurt and i was like ok shoot me a couple more time and thats it. Well the rest of the night they were shooting me with airsoft guns after i asked them to stop and it just pisses me off caus they dont kno when to stop and just let it go.
so what should i do? i dont want to get all bitchy and get in a fight and not be their friends but i dont want to keep putting up with this either!
thanks!

so under my left nostril its all red and dry. i’m taking monocyxlin for acne rosacea because it might be that. any other ideas what it might be?

A) Proactive, Neutrogena, Clearasil, ect.
B) Washing my face with soap and water,
C) Nothing. It’s just acne, it’ll disappear when puberty is over.
D) Whine about it to your dermatologist(skin doctor).
E) Other _________

Hello everyone! I”m 28 years old.. and i still have an acne problem like i’m a teenager! only i don’t think it’s Acne anymore. I’ve been getting these HUGE bumps underneath my skin.. realy deep underneath my skin, only they arne’t puss filled. Very Rarely do they ever have puss in them… but they’re HUGE! I can shove a needle down the center of one, almost all the way to the bone and Not feel Any pain at all.. it just slides right throught it. I was mostly getting them in my chin, but this week I developed one on my Forehead! I woke up at 3 a.m. and My entire forehead was Huge.. it looked like I was growing a 2nd head! It’s so annoying, and so gross, and I don’t know what it is! I can’t Be acne. I was thinking maybe related to Rosacea? because I do have a very regulary red face…. but when I looked up rosacea it says the bumps that come with it are really small, not huge like I have.
I wash my face every day, twice a day.. I use a medicated Astringent (non alcahol), and clearasil with 10% benzoil peroxide. And I moistureize with spf 15 Aveeno Positively Radieant Daily Moisturizer. I use them all every day… so I don’t know what the deal is. On sunday i’m going to get on Ortho tri-cyclen birth control.. because that seemed to really help my skin last time I was on it.
but I really want to identify these things.. because I think it’s more than just your simple Acne blemish,a nd they bug the heck out of me! Please help if you can!!

I have acne rosacea but I have it under control , but my skin is sensitive.I use the cetaphil products and sometimes nose strips and apricot scrub and they are still there.ANY NATURAL REMEDIES?

Hi, I’m a 15 year old girl and I have acne on my face and upper back, it’s really really embarrassing because last year my skin was nice on my back and I loved going to the pool and beach, but now its hard..
I exfoliate every other day with a loofah and use a cleanser on my back but it doesn’t seem to work.
The Neutrogena Body Clear wash made it worse than it was before, becuase it used to be just in the middle of my upper back and now its my shoulders too !!
I also wash my hair before I wash my back and wash my sheets every week so I am a really clean person
I also eat really healthy and take an Omega, a Multi vitamin, acidophiles and a zinc supplement once a day..
Where am I going wrong? Should I just go see my doctor?
I heard that Birth Control Pills can help, but is this dangerous if im not having sex?
-my mom had this problem in her teens and early 20′s aswell ,could it be genetics?
