Acne!!!!!!!!!?

I'm 12 years old, and I get pimples on my forehead ALL the time - like every day. Sometimes they get really itchy and I pick at them, and they get red and I seem to get even more of them when I do - and I also put on a acne lotion by Avon and another cream that I can't remember the name of. I have bangs, and I get REALLY greasy hair. I wash my hair once or twice every week, but my pimples keep coming back, I don't want to go to school looking like a pizza faced dork. What do I do??? HELP!!!

First step - Wash your hair every day

Wash your face twice a day: (I recommend Proactiv. Other acne products cause my face to be bright red.)

Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.

Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies. Becareful it might make your skin dry. If your skin gets dry use a moisturizer lotion.

Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.

Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning. This might also make your skin dry.

Drink plenty of water.

Pimple Removal : (only do this on pimples that have formed a head)

Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.
Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.
Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.
Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer

For redness use eye drops.

This works for me!

My sister has always had bad achne. But she found proactive. It works really well. They usually have stands at malls. I hope this helps.

Well if your hair is that greasy and you are 12 years old I think you should be washing your hair more than that! Like at least every other day! I am thirteen and I wash my hair everyday because i find it very disgusting to have greasy hair..
It seems like you arn't clean. :S
lol But thats just mee..
and I think you should use something else besides cream like Oxy Pads? They work pretty good but I have tried a million things and the only thing that works the best for me to get rid of pimples is CLEAN & CLEAR...
Stop picking your pimples! That makes it WAY worse..
Thats probably one reason why they won't go away..
But try something else sometimes things don't work and I don't think this avon cream is working well..
Try one of the things I listed above!
Good stuff there!

WASH YOUR HAIR MORE OFTEN!!!!!!!!

I use Avon's products and I like most of them but Avon's acne products doesn't help at all. I used to have a lot of pimples just like you. I tried more than 100 different products but nothing helped me. Finally, I used proactive. It helped me to get rid of pimples. I still have pimples on my face but not as many. Make sure you wash your face atleast 3 times a day.
Similar to your hair, my hair gets greasy as well and I thing that is one of the causes of pimples. Wash your hair everyday. and finally drink a lot of water.

1. wet a towel in hot (not boiling) water and leaveit on your face for 20 MINUTES.
it's essential for opening up the pores.

2. wash your face with a CLEAR GLYCERIN SOAP. (I recommend the neutrogena non-comedogenic soap bar)
this will draw out all the oil.

3. use TEA TREE OIL for break outs. (you can get this from your drug store)

this really works!
good luck.
