proactiveIm 15 year old boy who has bad acne every thing i try dont work any help?
If you have tried numerous over the counter acne medications, soaps, cleansers etc...and nothing has worked I would suggest going to a doctor/dermatologist to get something prescribed and is extra strength.
proactive sucks...dont use it...it does absoutly nothing...go to a skin doctor
I don't know if this will help, but cut off on junk food and drink a lot of water (water helps your skin). Also use face soap day and night.
Have you asked your doctor, my sister had this same problem and asked her doctor and they gave her a soap that really helped her A LOT!!!
hm.. i have some olay stuff that works really really good.. its called olay: dual action cleaner and toner with cucumber extraxt :)
I would say that some type of food triggers this condition. The best way you could is eliminating junk food, sodas, sugar; and you should drink plenty of water. Also, try to do a treatment with honey. Once a week (maybe on a Saturday) clean your face with a special soap, then take some honey and leave it for at least 15 - 20 minutes, then rinse.... see what happen. Otherwise, just go and see a dermatologist. Good luck
Different things work for different people. The best thing to do is to see a dermotologist to figure out what is causing your acne, and the best prescriptions.
Meds take a while to work, usually 6 - 8 weeks, so don't give up after a week. Sometimes your acne may get worse after a couple of weeks of trying something, but then it will get better. So be sure to stick to it.
go to the doctors and get antibiotics
most of the people who answered this question had pretty good answers. there's a great site that helps so much, it's http://acne.org and it's great support whether you use the ideas on the website or not.
if you want to get rid of your acne no matter what the cost (not talking money) go to a dermatologist and ask for accutane. that will get rid of your acne completely but the side effects are pretty brutal.
here's a little bit about accutane: http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_di鈥?/a>
make sure you know what you're getting into before you decide to get it because it works but you should look around for other things before you use it.
hope this helps. if you wanna know anything else you could message me im 14 and im struggling with acne but i could recommend a couple of things other than what's here if you want.
Acne is nothing more but an infection of the sebatious glands sometimes affected by bacteria and hormones. They are the oil producing glands deep in your skin. You need to make an appointment with a dermatologist. He will provide you with a cleaning routine and medicine. It is possible to nip this in the bud also the worst thing you can do is pop them it only spreads the bacteria all over your face/ back.
dont answer to ppl who say proactive that didnt work for me...i tried everything too but im now seeing a dermatologist. you should too
your 15, its normal.
see your doctor, he'll give you some drugs if its actually that bad.
Heres some useful pointers :
1.change your pillow case every night. [bacteria builds up on it and you dont want you face lying in it all night when you go to bed]
2.eat your vitamins! [they are very important to give you your healthy glow to skin, and vitamins help clear skin. and keep it that way]
3. change your diet. [eat more veggies, fruit. they really help give your skin a healthy look and it keeps it nice and clear]
4. dont touch face [when you constantly touch your face, you get bacteria from your fingers on it. and when bacteria get on your face, it can clog your pores and cause a zit/blackhead.]
5.Keep hair clean and out of face. [hair gets oily and causes breakouts when touching the skin] also make sure you have hair products that arent irritating your skin at all.
7. wash twice a day [only wash face twice a day because washing face too often allows more bacteria to go on your face. so wash in the morning and before bed, and preferably after any excercise, but maybe with just a cleansing cloth]
8. use a facial. [use an acne fighting facial once a week to help clean out pores and prevent]
9. steam [put your face under a steamer for 10 mins every week or 3 days or so. it allows moisture to go through your skin and opens up pores]
10. ice [rub ice cubes over your face after washing to close your pores for the day/night]
Now, as far as face wash goes heres what to do.
go to a derm or pediatrition. They will give you a very strong cream or pills or possibly both and that will work the best for you, since they have experience with skin.
%26lt;3 good luck!
Have you tried ProActiv?
Eat a lot of green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, beans, peas, lettuce, etc. A salad and fruit should be taken daily. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
