Aghhh! acne helpp! pleasee!!?

Question

mmkayy.

so, I've never had acne on my cheeks.

&& rarely on my nose or chin.

good for me right?

WRONG.

I'm starting at a new high school

&& thought there was no harm in

making sure that my skin looked its best.

so I started using this

product called Terminator 10.

Its suppossedly the

strongest, non-perscription acne treatment out there.

so, I started using itt.

I loved it!!

but then,

it went absolutely EVIL!!

My skin

now has tons of red bumps

all over. They're very painful.

not to mention

I look completely rediculous.

I put a cold compress on

them. I also took some

asprin. hoping that it would help the swelling.

It didn't help.

I've stopped using the product.

But now I'm supposed to start school

in 10 days.

funn.

:(

please, if you

know anything that will help,

I would greatly appreciate it.

thank you s****. />
super-duper muchh.!!

:)

Answer 1

I used that stuff, but it didn't work for me and kinda made it worse. i switched to neutrogena acne treatment (about 25 dollars) the other day and at first it seems like its not working, but after a day or two you start to see an improvement.

Answer 2

Go to a dermotaologist............they can tell you exactly what going on and hopefull it will clear up before school..........I've also noticed that a simple face was like this works great:

I also have different houses in different states and because of that water can differ too.........so i use bottled water to wash my face......so that doesn't contribute either........I use evian, but i drink VOSS

hope i helped and good luck

Beware of using any acne products unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor.  People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne.  Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face.  Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne.  If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.  



Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little.  Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne much worse by using too many products.  There really is no quick fix for acne.  Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne.  Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..  



There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing.  Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean.  Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that.  Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue.   Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  A healthy life style will make a difference.  Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.  

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.
