Acne help fast!!!? ?

Question

I'm going to italy in 2 and a half weeks and my face is really messed up. The right side of my face is perfect--flawless. Ive never really had alot of acne on my right side which is also messed up. The left side is another story. It is full of red acne spots and currently a few pimples that i have popped. The left side of my face is sooooo red and I want it to be nice for when I go to italy. I went to the dermatologist and he just said to continue to use the cream my doctor prescribed me (benzamycin). The cream helps but not as much as I would like. I really need help, my acne affects my self esteem sooo much. When my face is clear im a very attractive guy, buy when its not i stay inside my house as if I were hibernating. I really need help :(

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Well, I used to have this problem, but yours sounds more severe. Sorry. But, it'll go away eventually. You just have to stay positive and think my skin is perfect, there's nothing wrong, and actually, it worked for me. I, after I did that, my skin got so much clearer and I really thought of myself as prettier. Do the same, just think your really handsome :].  

Answer 4

Do you sleep on the left side of your face at night?  If so, make sure your pillowcase is clean and change it every couple of days.  Also, avoid picking at the zits - it only makes it worse!  It will get better!!

Answer 5

am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

First of all, your biggest problem is that you live like a hermit because of your acne. Believe me that I have had hundreds of patients in the laset 12 years with the similiar problems to yours. If you are a good looking young man you will be viewed as that with or without acne!

I have a team of high school baseball players with acne issues that I am working with now and I think if you follow my suggestions you can travel to Italy with a clearer complexion.

BTW...... Italy is my favorite place to visit!!!

There is a NIGHT TIME DRYING LOTION that you can get where all my patients get them at. It is literally magic in a bottle. It's $19.95 and it will last you for months. Keep reading and than you can inquire about it. I keep 3 of these bottles at home myself. I love that product!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 6

The power of positive thinking is proven to make people heal faster. Keep and upbeat attitude. Don't think "I wish my skin would clear" instead think "My skin is clearer". Keep washing regularly, using your RX and it will happen before you know it.

There's no need to hibernate for zits. All teens get them its part of the glory of adolescence. You just notice yours more because they're staring back at you in the mirror.

Answer 7

My answer is to go get a facial for acne it helps alot seriously trust me i have not broken out since ive been getting facials.
