Answer 1

use like proactive or something

and makeup only works if nobody knows you're using it when you're a guy ... so be careful with that

Answer 2

i have the same problem.  you should go see a dermatologist so you can get an acne set that works for your skin.  you should also drink lots and lots of water.  drink AT LEAST 8 cups of water.  water is very good for your skin because it cleanses out your body from toxins because it makes you pee a lot.  you should also have seasonal fruits and lots of veggies.  stay away from sweets and fried foods.  don't have too many fatty meats or too much soda.  acne comes from the inside, so anything you eat causes the acne to appear on your skin.  DONT touch your skin with your hands.  wash your face morning and night and use a toner.  and do not pop your pimples!  it will leave a mark and sometimes cause permanent holes in your skin and could just make the acne worse.  ALWAYS wear a SUNSCREEN because the sun causes the acne to scar and makes dark spots on your skin.  I use Obagi sunscreen.  it is the best in the world and wont clog pores.

Please do not hesitate to email me because I know what situation you are in.  

Answer 3

Go to a doctor. I had horrific acne as a teenager and no help from doctors, but it's different now. I had to wait until my 20's to get a pill that made it all go away! (side effect extreme skin drying at the time).

You're not clear as to whether you're talking about a few temporary pimples or genuine acne?
