Help on acne treatments?

Question

I'm 15 and I use antibiotics and also some cream, both prescribed by my doctor, but I was wondering if there are any simple home remedies or anything to help also? I eat plenty of fruit and drink loads of water, I hear that helps.

Answer 3

I used to have really, really bad acne despite having a good diet. I even tried ProActiv, and, while it helped a little, it didn't fix the problem.

So I was ecstatic when I found out that using baking soda as a facial scrub helped me a lot.

Benefits of using baking soda:

1. It's a salt, so it kills bacteria that causes acne.

2. It is very fine-grained, and gets rid of the dead skin cells that clog pores and cause acne.

3. It has lightening properties that get rid of scars.

4. It makes your face very soft.

5. It's inexpensive.

Another home remedy that I enjoyed was using cucumbers and lemon juice. If you blend the two together, depending on what consistency you are going for, you can make a nice toner or mask. It has a lot of anti-oxidants, helps with shine control, and helps with acne scars.

Answer 4

Try Neotrogena if that doesn't clear up talk to your doctor and ask him/her for help.If you don't want to do that try putting anti biotic band aids on your pimples.

Answer 5

put lemon in your water, it cleanses out everything, and will clear up your skin.

Answer 6

I've had the pleasure of acne, on and off, for years. Antibiotics are the best and Brevoxl is very good too.. Your diet helps. There are triggers like alcohol, direct sunlight and hot, spicy foods like chilli or curry. So stay away from them. Avoid really hot showers or baths. Hot water

and humidity are more triggers.

I found that 3-6 minutes on a sunbed around once a week made the greatest improvements.

The most important thing is that you'll probably grow out of it. Try to avoid picking or trying to get rid of them quickly. I've been left with one or two small scars because I let them get to me. Now I'm older and wiser; I dearly wish that I'd left them alone. I hope they clear up really fast for you.

PS Be cautious about people with solutions that have never had acne.
