Help With Acne??!!!?

Question

okay first back acne!!!!

i've been wiping alcohol on it for like a week, and the serious stuff is gone, but there are just like bumps on my back that won't go away. (nt really acne or pimples just bumps that ARE very noticeable.

then there's the acne on my face. first i have pimples(or zits) all over my forehead, that don't seem to go away no matter what, and you can see the puss head in them. theres like one big one, and a couple other small ones that are still noticeable.

then mt cheeks. the left one has like 3 small zits, and one red acne, and a big acne SCAR, that i'm trying to get rid of, or at least lighten. the other one also has acne, and zits, and 3 scars that i also need to desperately lighten (btw i'm not sure if the scars are scars, pockmarks, or a mix, hehe)

then my nose, it has one small scar, and one acne on it, but has a bunch of pores that are filled with puss on it. i mean if you squeeze the pores puss(or at least something yellow) comes out. same thing with my chin.

so how do i get rid all this in time for school on september 2nd.

Note: I am NOT going to buy proactiv, and acnefree didn't work for me.other products that didn't work are:

neutrogena deep clean cream cleanser

neutrogena deep clean for normal to oily skin

clean and clear 10% benzoyl peroxide

cetaphil

phisoderm anti blemish gel

plain old soap

plain old alcohol

apple cider vinegar

ambi fade cream

and i cannot buy any products over 10 bucks. thanks!

Answer 1

Ok! I know how you feel; my acne isn't really bad but it still really bothers me. One thing to try is going on birth control pills, but that should be a last resort. I use Clean&Clear oil free acne wash along with a Clean&Clear oil free moisturizer. That seems to work for me. And some tips; never sleep with your make-up on, if you are just going to be around the house all day don't bother with make-up at all, wash your face everyday. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

well theres this mexican face soap, made out of rattle snake possison, and it cost 7$ and i waranty, dont leave it on to long as it will burn the skin off, but if u use properly it will just make face smoth and even tone taking dirt away

Answer 3

There's this product that I'm using and it worked WONDERS! It's Neutrogena Pore Perfect, I think that's what it's called. You won't be able to miss it in the isle though. The decoration on the front shows one side orange ish and the other blue ish because it's a two in one cleaner. It can be temporary or a mask. It worked for me and I had really bad zits it's about 8 dollars at the most. Good luck!

You need to go to a dermatologist. There are many creams and pills that he will give you to try. Don't give up on it right away. The last resort is Accutane. I saw a dermatologist for 3 years and tried every medicine out there and only after everything is exhausted can you be put on accutane. Then you have to get you blood tested every month and make sure you arent suicidal. Its a dangerous medicine, but it works. It probably saved my life because my skin was so bad I wanted to kill myself. I Still have chapped lips all the time from it even though I stopped it 8 years ago. Now I get one or two pimples every 3 or4 months (they are so small you cant see them).  

Answer 5

Try St. Ives facial scrub for oily skin. I use it and my face is as clear as the sky. They also have different products (St. Ives) just pick the one you think will do best. The tubes are big, and are no more than $4.00 a tube.

Answer 6

well sweetie dont stress out u may make your acne worse to be honest im 21 going through the similar problem maybe your using too many different products. give ur face a chance to breathe a lil, u may be causing you situation to get worse well wut i used was actually a store brand duane reade benzol peroxide 10%. my dad had BAD acne as a child and he told me about wut he use to use as a teen and benzol was one of them i to tried diffrent products but this one seem to work for me. proactiv didnt even work. my dad also used Retin A but he told me they took that out of stores and now everyone needs a prescription for it cause it reduces wrinkles on the skin that works also but u have to see your doc bout that. i also use nuetrogena deep clean it evens out complextion and minimizes pores i use that and instead of washing it on wit my hands i use the new neutrogena wave to wash it in, you should pick up one also its battery opperated and it scrubs your face for you but the pads they give rinse out there soap and apply your own to the pads thats wht i do well for your back i dont know what to tell ya cause i didnt solve that problem for myself either wen i do ill post it to let u kno=p

Answer 9

You  really need to go to a dermatologist.  They can put you on antibiotics that will help clear up your acne as well as prescribe you topical solution as well.  My doctor recommended the neutrogena bar the is a transparent yellow color.  Then you should use a zit cream 2 times a day.  Make sure you are not wearing cheap make up.  My dermatologist said that diet does not play a role, although I have heard other people say differently.  I really think that a dermatologist is your best option.  The antibiotics work wonders.  

Answer 10

Well, I hate to say it, but you might need to go to the dermatologist and get on something stronger. I was in your predicament a few years ago, and I finally had to be medicated.

Topical products you can try are:

Tazorac, Klaron, Plexion, Benzaclin, Acne Mycen, and Duac.

Pills you can try are:

Adoxa, Dynacin, and Doryx.

Bath and Body Works sells 2 lines that work well.

1. C.O. Bigelow products. I recommend a 3-step procedure with an oily face cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Their products are natural and fragrance-free, and never caused me breakouts.

2. Patricia Wexler products. Her products are more expensive and I never tried them, but clinical tests have shown better results than Proactiv. Like Proactiv, it's a step-by-step procedure that comes in a kit, but you can buy them individually as well.

Finally, if all else fails, there is Accutane. Accutane can be sold in a generic form such as Amnesteem for as little as $10 a month. However, you will only be prescribed Accutane in extreme cases or when nothing else seems to work. If you choose to go on Accutane, it's a 6 month treatment involving monthly blood work, pregnancy tests, and a requirement to go on birth control. It will, however, clear you up beautifully and, in most cases, permanently. Be wary of intense side effects and educate yourself beforehand.

And don't count on anything clearing you up before September 2. Most products, no matter how strong, take a while to start showing results.

Good luck!

Answer 11

try the black head pads that you leave on for 15 minutes, i think they're 5.99, and i think that is what you need.

and for the back, just continue to clean and you may need to go to a dermatologist. they prescribed me benzaclin(sp?) and i stopped using it, and i grew out of it. Cleaning your face a lot won't make it magically better [which i wish would work :( ]

Also try toothpaste on the big ones or if you feel them coming on

good luck!

Answer 12

haha if you dont buy proactiv then youre screwed
