Hey


i used to have the same problem lucky for me i don't anymore.


Get a bowl or something a little bigger . Then boil the kettle wait a few minutes and then pour the boiling hot water in to the bowl . You then get a towel. put your face over the bowl (make sure it does not touch the water) you then place the towel over your head and the bowl. This should make steam which opens and cleanses your pores. So unblocking them. If you do this often you are less likely to have spots. Be careful to make sure that the bowl is on a flat surface and does not spill. Good luck :)Bad acne all of a sudden?
wash your face more often..but not to much because it will dry out your skin..buy like a daily face scrub and use it DAILY. i heard if you drink more water and less sugary drinks like soda.





but IMO buying a face cleaner is your best bet.

Can a beautiful gal go out with a boy who is shy and has bad acne and pimples?

Why shouldn't she be able to?Can a beautiful gal go out with a boy who is shy and has bad acne and pimples?
Sure she can as long as its for the right reasons and as long as he is a nice person. But if you feel embarrassed to then you shouldn't because otherwise you don't love him enough to. Otherwise i don't see why not. Have a go, try something new for a change.Can a beautiful gal go out with a boy who is shy and has bad acne and pimples?
definitely. if the girl who you consider beautiful is as great on the inside as she is outside then she won't have any problems seeing through any physical imperfections. :)
absolutely.
yes. as long as you he has a good personality. as long as she likes him for who he is.
Sure. What's wrong with that??

I have been taking prednisone for poison oak and have started getting pretty bad acne on my back and shoulders?

can prednisone give you acne...also my face has started getting more acne too...





if it is because of prednisone will it start to go away now that i'm off the medication...I have been taking prednisone for poison oak and have started getting pretty bad acne on my back and shoulders?
Generally when receiving a corticosteroid your body may be immunocompromised. This may allow bacterial infections to grow easier. Chances are this acne is due to a bacterial infection. Ask your doctor and see whether a tetracycline antibiotic is right for you. Chances are this acne will disappear with the tetracycline.

I get really bad acne when it's that time of the month.?

I usually have pretty flawless skin, but I break out really bad about a week before I get my period and for about a week after. Is there something I can use to help this? I've tryed lots of different products and nothing seems to help.I get really bad acne when it's that time of the month.?
proactive is so expensive because they have to pay all those celebrities to do all those commercials!


any 2.5% bezoyl peroxide will do. walgreens has it in the form of Neutrogena on-the-spot, it's like $6 for 3/4 of an oz, or you can go here http://www.clearskinregimen.com and buy a 4 ounce bottle for $8.50, but you have to pay shiping on top of that, but it's over 5 times the amount of what's in the neutrogena bottle and for that much neutrogena would cost you over $30,so it's worth it.especially if you buy more than one bottle and/or the cleanser to.I get really bad acne when it's that time of the month.?
proactive its the best yea its expensive but i got some and it lasted me about 6 mouths then i bought more plus you can buy other products like advanced blemish treatment witch will make each blemish go away within 24 hours plus they have makeup that treats blemishes its the best!!

Good luck
Hormones are the cause. The only thing I've seen to really work is birth control. Many people get on it because it controls the hormones and prevents such breakouts. I don't know how old you are, so talk to your parents if you're under 18. Many people are on bc just to curb the acne issue, not because they are or are going to be sexually active. They're are also certain brands of bc that work better. Talk to a dermotologist and/or obgyn for further details.

My son has bad acne what should I do! Any home remedies?

The cheapest solution is Dial soap.My son has bad acne what should I do! Any home remedies?
I had bad acne for a long time. I tried everything topical you can find. The reality is...a teen is not going to follow a strict regimen of washing and cleansing and using a moisturizer. The one thing that worked for me was Accutane. I got it from a dermatologist. It is a strong medication taken by mouth daily. I would seek medical advice since a lot of breakouts are caused by hormonal imbalances.My son has bad acne what should I do! Any home remedies?
get him a good cleanser and make sure he cleanses morning and night and then use lemon juice on the pimples and a light moisturiser. take him to a dermatologist(preferable) or doctor.


Hope this helps
tea tree oil diluted w/ sweet almond oil.
you are a good parent for inquiring about it. it seems you truly want to help your son. thats great.


unfortunately .. i havent known of any home remedies that will help


but, i have suffered with severe acne.. and i can tell you if it really is sevre and affecting his life negatively..


than u might want to give accutane a try.


it can help a lot.


the psychological problems after acne arent good.. u might as well try accutane.. to help him early..


GL
A good diet.


Drink lots of water, cut out the soda.


Give him a multi-vitamin daily.


Make him wash his face morning and night with an antibacterial soap, and then use an oil-free moisturizer.


Encourage him not to touch his face and to wash his hands frequently throughout the day as well.
  • lip balm
  • Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?

    LOL at your face is very gay!


    I'm one of those people who can touch anything and not get acne....except for once a damn month!





    How old are you? It's common in teens.





    I would see a dermatologist.





    I was told by a dermatologist that Neutrogena cream (orange tube) is very good.Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?
    yes it does. a persons hands and fingers are constantly touching things around us, so our hands get dirty. On top of them being dirty, they also have oils in them. All of that junk gets clogged in your pores. Also, if you have acne that hasn't come to a head yet, don't touch it at all, it only makes it so much worse.


    My son uses hand sanitizer on his face every day, and he is absolutely acne free. It works better than the expensive acne products that you find in stores.Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?
    Sometimes it can.





    In high school my acne was so bad I went on acutane to clear it up- It worked great...then used proactive- it also worked great to keep it away after I went off acutane..





    Now I dont really get a lot of break outs- only when it's that time of the month. Plus I use clearasil face was daily.
    yes because of dirt, germs and bacteria.





    no touchy!!





    i guess if you wash your hands first, touch away.





    but keep your digits off your face at work or school.





    please, i beg you.





    i am assuming your face is gay.





    if you have a straight face, i can't help you...
    Yes, it spreads the sabaceous gland fluids over your face and promotes bacterial growth and irritation, all of which promote further acne.





    Oh, and it makes you gay!





    WTF?! Why is this on the LGBT board?
    yea.. but u can also see a doctor for u acne.. they would prescribe u pills and cream for ur face..oo and if u pop a zit dont let the stuff that comes out of it touch ur face skin becuase it can creat more zits..
    Yes, the oils and the dirt from your hands can go on to your face and get into your pores and make everything worse.
    speaking as a person with moderate acne. i will tell you that while it does have some effect, it isn't nearly as bad as bad genetics.
    Yes.. think about all of the germs and oil that are on your fingers. You just placing this all over your face and adding even more of the things that cause acne to your face.
    Yes, it really does. Bacteria and other icky uncleanliness can seep into your pours and clog them.





    As to why this is in the Gay section, I'm just totally lost.
    Yeah, I think it has to do with oils getting from your hands onto your face and making your pores all clogged up.
    Yes because the hands have oil and other junk that help inflame the already oily pores on the face.
    I'm not really sure. But if it's true, then that's probably one of the reasons why I have horrible acne....................
    probably if you've been washing your hands with grilled cheese and fried chicken.
    of course, unless you wash them after every time you touch something
    Depends how clean your hands are...
    yes dont touch your face alot, ust leave them alone
    I agree with Rick 100%





    on both issues
    don't touch ur face cause the acne will get alot worse

    Could my bad diet be related to my acne problems?

    And, if so, what foods should I eat? I heard antioxidants are good.





    My usual acne routine hasn't been working lately, and I've noticed I've been eating out-of-habit lately.





    I'm on my way to perfect skin, is there any other tips?Could my bad diet be related to my acne problems?
    People say diet has nothing to do with the flare ups of acne or ridding of acne, I know for experience that's BS.





    Eat 20 to 30 grams of fiber every day鈥揊iber helps keep the colon clean and may remove toxins from the body before they reach the skin.





    Eat a low fat diet鈥揟he cultures whose natural diet was low in fat, had less acne, and high fat consumption may elevate hormone levels in the body that cause blemishes on the skin.





    Avoid peanut products鈥揚eanut products were found to cause acne flare ups in a study of 500 adolescents.





    Avoid fried foods鈥擣ried foods were found to caused break outs.


    Limit salt intake especially table salt or iodized salt鈥?Many people with acne have elevated levels of iodine, found in table salt, in their blood stream during acne flare ups. Excessive iodine or iodides are excreted out the pore and flare up acne. Excessive iodine is obtained by eating taco chips that are salted with sea salt or using a lot of kelp either sprinkled on food or used as a wrap. Another source may be cows liver, which concentrates salt from the salt lick in the pasture. Some vegetables concentrate iodine such as asparagus. Once of the reasons acne may be worse in the United States compared to Europe is that we iodize our salt ten times higher than they do in Europe.





    Avoid highly salty sacks such as chips, lunch meats, canned foods, and salted popcorn鈥揟hese foods are high in salt and, in some cases, fat.


    Avoid dairy products such as milk, cheese and ice cream - these tend to have hormones in them hence causing yucky pimples, so be sure to drink only local milk with no added hormones :)





    Avoid highly processed carbohydrates such as sodas, candy, and baked goods鈥揌igh carbohydrate foods raise the level of insulin in the blood and elevated insulevel may raise the levels of acne鈥揷ausing hormones in the body.





    In addition to following the acne diet suggestions, taking the following supplements are proposed to also help prevent acne:





    Vitamin A (may be toxic consult your doctor first)


    Vitamin E


    Vitamin B6


    Selenium


    Zinc


    Omega-3 Fatty Acid


    Chromium











    Hope this helps!Could my bad diet be related to my acne problems?
    Depends what you eat. Avoid vegetable oil (switch to olive oil), junk food (ice cream, cookies, potato chips, etc). Drink water instead of soda. Soda is bad for you anyway. Drinking water is very important in having healthy skin. I'm sure I don't need to tell you why. All in all, just eat healthy foods. This is common knowledge.





    Skin tips:





    Wash your face every morning, afternoon, and before bed.


    Exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week.


    Moisturize in the morning and before going to bed.


    Wear sun protection with an SPF of 30 or 35. EVERY DAY.


    When popping your pimples, be sure to disinfect them with alcohol. And don't put too much pressure when popping them, because that can leave scars and it may spread the infection. Pop them with a needle and gently push out the puss upwards not inwards.





    Try and invest in getting an extraction done every 1-2 months to clean your pores. Getting an extraction done monthly can help your complexion and prevent clogged pores which will eventually lead to breakouts. Call a nearby spa center and ask them if they do extractions.





    Also, try not to buy cheap products. :) And wash your hands, never touch your face with dirty hands.
    One thing I might suggest is to know when to eat. Try not to skip breakfast or hold off lunch in the afternoon, if you do that. What my doctor told me is to eat breakfast at 6, lunch by 12:30, a snack (fruits most likely) at 3, and dinner by 6 or 7. Try avoid eating a lot of cold food, spicy food, and fried food.





    Do not stay up late every night, and do not eat overnight! Stress can lead to acne as well... Oh, and wash your face everyday to clean the body oils on your skin and to maintain healthy pores. When you do have acne, avoid touching it, since your hands have germs and bacteria that only inflame your skin even more.





    That's all I can think of...or what my doctor told me :P
    Vitamin A and E are very good for your skin. Nuts have a lot of vitamin E in them, and carrots have vitamin A. If your diet doesn't have a lot of veggies of foods with fluids in them, it could be making you break out.You are right in thinking antioxidants are good, so that means green tea.
    ya i heard that chocolate gives you acne.


    also when i stoped eating for a while my skin cleared up like crazy i thought it was impossible and the answer was to stop eating or cut down on some of your food.
    Absolutely, you are what you eat. Try drinking a lot of water and sticking to foods with little to no artificial ingredients.
    Yup. Greasy foods are really bad for you and your skin.
    dont eat greasy, oily foods because they leave behind the fats and crud and that then goes to ur skin
    Yes of course
