Acne?????????????????

somebody help me. I tried every kind of treatments to get rid of it. even proactive stuff but its not helping.maybe its because of food. maybe I should not ecertain kinds of food? what do you know about it.

please help

foods have nothing to do with acne, just keep trying different soaps until one helps

go to your docs or dermotoligist

see a dermatologist if you can.
they can reccomend lots of good things to help with acne

have you tried clearasil i use that and it really works

You may need to consult a dermatologist, for it may be chemical/hormonal and no amount of OTC treatments will be effective for you. He/She may prescribe Retin A or other for treatment.

Acne is caused by the staph bacteria so if you have a stubborn case you need to see the doc about getting on antibiotic therapy to get the bacteria under control.

It's not because of food. I had this same problem. I got Differin and some other meds from my dermatologist, and later some antibiotic ointment, and this cleared it up. Be aware that those medications can take a while to work, but they usually do work.

It is actually proven that diet does have something to do with it, but chocolate, does not do anything to acne, cut down on the greasy foods, dont pop the pimples, cause that makes the bacteria spread and cause more. When washing your face, use a delicate soap, like dove, or even better at your store they should have glycerine soap, that stuff is amazing, and dont use a wash cloth, use your fingers when washing your face, when you scrub, you break them open and thye could get infected and make it all worse, dont pick at them. Even though they may look gross, dont pick! I am not sure if your a male or a female but use the oil free makeup, and dont change brands, that makes your acne worse too. anytime you do anything that makes you sweat, wash your face immediately!!

try eating less oily foods. no fried foods or stuff that you can see oil or grease on. also try taking vitamin e supplements to help with your skin. if none of that works see a dermatologist so they can prescribe you something

Have you tried Neotrogena advanced solutions? I think it works. (even though it says the pimples will go away in 2 days but it actually takes about a week or two - but thats just me i guess)

Have you tried drinking very large amount of water every day? Don't bother fiddling with your diet (as long as it is a reasonable normal/healthy diet) diet won't help. This has worked best for me. Good luck!

eat food that aren't like too oily or cooked with bad oil like french fries and stuff
also
continue to use like proactive or acnefree
and if ur a girl or a boy with bangs or long hair then dont use conditioner which has a lot of bad oily stuff which when it touches ur face, even after u rinse it out of ur hair, it'll cause acne

Take Zinc, Vitamins E, A and Omega's (according to the recommendation)....also, you can take a vitamin #E and poke a hole in the end, rub the vitamin E oil directly on the problems and leave on overnight. These are things that will fight the Acne from within and don't keep putting too much stuff on your skin, you could cause or complicate the problem with too many chemicals stripping your skin. Don't forget to eat your leafy green vegetables.

ask your doctor to put you on birth control pills. but your going to have to go to a gynocologist for it.

What you eat makes generally no difference! Doctors cure Acne with antibiotics, but don't overdo it. Usually its a hormonal tempest which makes your skin oily and cosequently break out. Best way is prevention through Saunas (to get the seb out of your system), professional faccial cleanse (in specialised centres). Try mud baths/masks which soak up oil. Most importantly GO TO A DERMATOLOGIST!

Seeing a Dermatologist is probably yr best bet. However my 14 yr old son has been successful using ST. IVES Apricot scrub (Gentle) in the shower every morning.you can find it at walgreens or your grocery store. Then he uses Clearasil if he gets a bad break out. He also finds that if he gets a little sunshine on his face it tends to clear up his skin. Best of luck to you.

everyone releases toxins from their bodys in different way, people that have acne release it that way. So my advice to you is to get into a healthy diet. Yes what you eat matters sooooo much in the pimples that you get. What worked for me wonders was FLAXSEED and taking a colon cleanser. you can get flaxseed at any supermarket or healthy food store, they are very cheap. put it in yogurt or in cereal or rice whatever you like and eat a spoon of it a day. I also put it in the blender and make it powder and put it in my food and i cant even tell im eating it. Flaxseed cleans your system from all the toxins.
Also, do you go to the bathroom everyday? if you dont then thats a problem. Thats where the colon cleanser comes in. your body is holding on to all the stuff that you eat and like it has no way to release it, you break out!
dont eat read meat... it stays in your system for 7 days before you can digest it...
So just do those eating changes and wash your face only twice a day and try clean and clear (works good for me) and i know u will see the difference in about a week ..
hope it helps!

Check with a dermatologist before trying anything. They are the experts.

Look into this website, they have some excellent treatments for your problem -

yes. go a few days without makeup. use an oil free acne wash, in the morning, and at night. make sure your hair is washed every day and not touching your face. The oil from your hair can clog pores. After you wash your face with warm water, and an acne face wash[ i recommend clean and clear oil free foaming facial cleanser about $5.45 at our local grocery store, Target, or CVS pharmacy], . Then put on something with benzoyle peroxide[ i recommend clean and clear persa-gel maximum strength about $4.99 at your local grocery store, target, CVS pharmacy]. Look at the label it should say 10% benzoyle peroxide. after that try a oil free moisturizer.
diet is important, but eating a chocolate bar doesnt give you acne. just make sure your eating healthy, nd getting all your neded nutrients. try a Vitamin E supplement.and stay out of the sun. use an oil free sunblock. basically, stay away from oil!
i Will give you step by step instructions.
before bed-
1- open pores by splashing face with warm water
2- wash face with "clean and clear oil free foaming facial cleanser"
3- rinse with hot water.
4- dry with towel.
5- apply clean and clear maximum strength persa-gel
6- let dry
7- rinse face with ice water to lock pores closed, and clean.
8- apply oil free moisturizer[ i recommend Neutrogena Moisture Oil Free Formula, Sensitive Skin its about $10.00]

all together it will cost bout $20.00, but its worth it for clear healthy skin right?
might i suggest bare minerals? you dont have to worry about forgetting to take it off!


repeat in the morning.
and within a few days enjoy your clean clear face!!! bye breakouts!

Here are some simple remedies if you are interested you can try them out, tomato slices, turmeric, papaya juices and home made packs will treat existing pimples and prevent further problems. More remedies at the link below.

My friend had some serious acne the one treatment that works is vitamin b5. but keep in mind you will get the runs, you will get upset stomach, but you acne will be gone.

Pimples are caused when bacteria get into the pores on your face (or body). Once the bacteria get into the pores, they polymerize the oil in your pores and turn it into a thicker "oil" that doesn't flow anymore. This polymerized oil collects with dirt, clogs and blocks the pores and forms pimples and blackheads.

The BEST thing you can do is to wash your hands and face every couple of hours with warm soap and water to remove the oil. In addition to this, wash your face after every meal and before you go to bed. Even wash your face after every snack. Also keep your hair out of your face AND keep your hands away from your face.

Nothing will prevent acne, only help your skin. Once you wash your face with any solution (clearsil or proactive or others) and dry it throughly (also read directions on back of solution) then follow these methods.

After washing...
-Don't touch your face or neck regions (if you eat food it may have grease or butter or oil and this may get on your fingers. touching your face with the same fingers that you touched that food with will transmitt that oil or grease to your face. this will basically cancel the function of the solution)
-Wash your hands after you eat, with soap and warm water.
-Dry your face after washing very dry. Dirt can get on moist skin and cause thick watery dirt which can plug pores.
-Wash face flush with water after you sweat or work.
-Washing your face with water after every activity is very good. My suggestion is do this every 45-60 mins or so. The more you wash with WATER the better. Remember don't over do the amount of washing with soap or that may just cause more dryness and itchiness.
-When applying your solution, make sure it is alittle soupy. You want it to have alittle water in it so that the solution goes in your pores and cleans them.
-Don't pick at your pimples. This will lead to more pimples, and after picking at about the 3rd one, you'll have scares for ever!
-Burger King, McDonalds, and Wendies should all be cut from the daily schedual! Fast food is a no no.
-If you're in your teens, then most likely you're still going through puberty. Unbalanced hormones can lead to pimples.
-Stress is also a leading factor. Try and make more time for leisure if this is the case. Freeing your stress is great for everything. Your pimples, and even your pyschological side.

Remember. Pimples can not be gone for ever, but can be reduced at the time. Follow this simple path, and make sure you make a good habit!

Good luck,
alex

If your acne is severe, go see a derm (ie: acneic lesions). But here is what I tried for mine: use a nice face soap that is gentle, like phisoderm or cetaphil. (Use one that says "for normal or oily skin"). Wash your face for 15-30 seconds gently. Then, PAT your face dry. Rubbing makes acne worse. After your face is dry, take some benzoyl peroxide, the 2.5% and NOT 10%, and gently smooth it on your face, especially the affected areas. Check out the neutrogena line to find your benzoyl treatment. Then, use a very very very light moisturizer, or none at all if your skin is tough. It may take a couple of months before you notice anything. But, be patient. And do this twice a day.

Have you used Retin A?

dont eat too much sugar

Acne has many causes, the trick is to find the cause of YOUR acne. Once the cause is found you can do away with it for good. Causes of acne are many, such as, diet, allergies, hormonal, etc. There is an excellent free book that will help you find the cause. Get it from the link below.

Avoid anything deep fried, no bacon or sausages...toxins are excreting themselves through your skin. Overactive oil glands; large pores which cause lots of dirt to sit in your pores causing acne; drug use; rough facial cleansers...

drink lots of water it flushes out toxins, Australian bodycare is a really good skin care brand, they use an essential oil tea tree which has anti bacterial properties, there specifically formulated for acne prob etc.
