What is the best cure for severe pimples?

Answer 1

This is gonna sound funny but when ur desperate, u find ANY solution:

Try- Dr.Lewinn Revitalising Hand Polish on your face and when done, use Oil of Olay Total Effects. Pimples are a result of something being wrong with the skin. So u need proper skin care. I swear by these two products. My mates all agree.Plus the Olay keeps u looking young lol.

Answer 2

You don't need to spend a fortune a medicated soap works just as well ....gamaphen ......sapederm...

Answer 3

I suppose the first question is how old are you? Teenage acne and adult acne are very different. Most adult acne is caused by the body's inability to eliminate toxins or an allergy. If it's a food allergy, find out through testing and eliminate that food. If it's toxins, burdock root, red clover and dandelion leaf and root are great blood and liver cleansers. It will take 3-6 months to see a change, but it will work and it will work permanently. Teenage acne is caused by raging hormones. Saw Palmetto is a good regulator of male hormones. Any combination of the above herbs should bring relief. Guggul Gum is also very effective in all types of acne, especially teenage acne.

Hygiene is the best to cure from pimples. sometimes bad food habits lead to severe pimples. One should keep healthy food habits by having fresh juice and balanced diet with lots of water intake. which definately cures pimlpes.

Answer 8

See a skin doc and cleanse your insides.  Detoxing your blood stream is important.  Your blood brings oxygen and nutrients to every cell of your body.  You dint just want to cleanse your colon without cleansing your blood.  Detoxing helps with skin problems.

I've used proactiv & found it to be extremely drying; that's all it does... brutally scrape out anything good in your skin and dry it up.

Plus with benzoyl peroxide in it; which once it leaves your skin goes directly to your lungs... not a good thing to have in there buddy!

I saw a Naturopath who cleared up my acne completely within a month; previously it had been very bad for about 3 years and no amount of dietary change made a difference until i took a course of herbal medicine along with dietary changes as it turned out my skin was under active at eliminating toxins.

A good Naturopath or Herbalist should be able to clear your skin up by addressing the actual cause of your symptoms; those being severe pimples among others.

One who uses iridology would be of even better assistance also.

Answer 10

Acne or pimples have two causes:

1) Hormone imbalance, causing the sebaceous glands in your skin to produce more oil, which feeds Acne bacteria, which causes the sebaceousgland to become inflammed, red, hot, and swollen, this happens so white blood cells can fight the acne bacteria. Thi occurs at pubery {usually}, or during pregnancy. This theory is accepted by conventional medicine/dermatologists.

2) Candida overgrowth in the gut, produces many toxins, which leach into the bloodstream, and can result in acne, as this is how your body rids itself of toxins, if you do not drink enough water, {1/2 your body weight in ounces per day}. This is rejected by conventioanl medicine, and is accepted by alternative medicine practionioners.

In either case, their are things you can do to reduce/cure your acne.

======================================...

1) If your acne is caused by a hormone-imbalance.

Vitamin A - 10,000 IU per day, {no more than 5,000IU if pregnant, as this can cause birth defects similar to Roaccutane}

Vitamin B Complex

Vitamin C - 1000 - 2000mg per day, as Low-acidity Magnesium Ascorbate Powder.

Zinc - 20mg per day, in chelated amin acid/ bio-available form.

DIM - Di-Indole-Methane, shown to regulate bad hormones that cause acne, andhas immune modulating effects on the skin, 100mg - 400mg per day.

Chromium - 400mcg - 600mcg per day

======================================...

2) If Candida-overgrowth is causing your acne

Severe Acne is often associated with Candida Overgrowth, please see the following website.

I suffered from acne for years, I managed to cure my acne by following a nutritional approach/ a special 3 day Apple Fast, this was my supplement regime:

======================================...

Fasting

Day 1

- 10-15 Red/Golden Delicious {most high in pectin, do not substitute for Green apples} Apples

- 3 litres of Alkali Water, {to make alkali add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to every litre of filtered/spring water}

- Coffee e***a, scientifically proven to detox the liver and kidneys. You will urinate alot after, so drink lots of water before/after.

- 2x S. Boulardii Probiotic Supplement {this flushes out Candida Albicans, and lodged fecal matter, use this instead of imodium/laxatives}

- Oil of Oregano Capsules x 4

- Oxygen Elements Plus/Max by GHT, 21 drops, trice daily as 7 drops in a glass of filtered water

- 3 tablespoons of Colloidal Silver, in between meals, alternatively use diltued Iodine BP oral suspension {available at chemists}.

======================================...

Day 2

Same as Day 1, although substitute the 'Oil of Oregano Capsules x 4' for 4x Olive Leaf Extract

======================================...

Day 3

- Same as Day 2, although substitute '4 x Olive Leaf Extract' for 4 x High potency Ginger/Allicin Extract

- Drink 1 glass of grape juice before bed

- And 1-2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, to restart digestion.

======================================...

After Care Day {Continue for 6months}

- 4.5g of Glutamine powder, before bed, to heal the gut/leaky Gut Syndrome, damage caused by Candida Albicans

- Extra Virgin Cocconut Oil 4 tablespoons per day, after meals, this heals the gut also, and kills any remaining Candida Albicans/other pathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses.

- Oxygen Elements Max/Plus 21 drops, 7 drops thrice daily, or a cheaper alternative would be Hydrogen Peroxide 35% Food Grade, 1 drop to a pint of water, build up slowly, do not exceed 25 drops.

- Ginkgo Biloba 60mg per day - Increase blood circulation/ treat low mood from IBS/candida

- Vitamin/Mineral complex by Higher Nature 'Advanced Nutrition Complex', to eliminate dificiencies from the fast, and give the body what it needs to heals itself. 3 capsules daily. 1x Omega 3 by 'Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega'

- Kefir - made at home {join Yahoo Kefir Making Group, to obtain Kefir Grains} drink 1 pint for breakfast, 1 pint prior to bedtime. This is a probiotic drink.

- Fivelac probiotic supplement by GHT, 4 times daily, then twice daily for maintenance.

- S. Boulardii x1 capsule, prior to bedtime.

- Consider also supplementing with Oxy Powder to oxygenate the gut/blood, and kills any remaining candida. Although this is an expensive supplement, I personally did not use this, as I had no knowledge of it.

- Anti-Candida Diet, no sugar, yeasts, ect.

Continue for 6 months, then leave the supplements, continue to eat healthy, eat sugar moderately, continue taking Vitamin/Mineral complex and Omega 3.

======================================...

Alkalising the Body

Candida or Acne bacteria cannot thrive in an alkalised, oxygen rich body, the following will help you alkalise your body to an optimal state:

- Drink alkali water, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to every litre of filtered water that you drink

- Eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables with food.

- Cut down on citrus fruits, soda's, sugar

- Replace table sugar with Xylitol, this alkalises the body and promote health/ fights candida, and is a prebiotic.

- Consider buying a Bob Beck Ozonator, to oxygenate water before drinking, this also alkalises the body/ kills candida alibicans.

======================================...

Hope this helps.

Answer 11

A detox. This may mean long term lifestyle changes and changing your diet too. Drink lots of water. Anything you apply to the skin is just dealing with the problem superficially, not treating the cause of the problem.

Answer 12

When I was a teen the thing that seemed to get rid of my zits was Eliabeth Arden skin toner.

Don't know why this would have worked but I remember sneaking my mother's little bottle of it and using it because it worked for me. It used to be quite expensive, though, and I'm not sure if is still exists.

Answer 13

a product called proactive it really works,but the down side is it comes back when you stop using it.

BUT THE POINT IS IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 14

Proactive is, but is very drying and if you stop using it may come back even worse, plus it is expensive. If anything go to a doctor and see what things you can do. Just do the whole cleanse, tone and moisturise thing, and exfoliate once a week. Drinks lots of water.

Answer 15

If you want a natural remedy for pimples try this:

Take zinc and vitamin c tablets everyday.  They promote healing in your skin.

Apply zinc cream (the stuff you get from the pharmacy and use when you go to the beach) to your pimples.  It drys them out, and promotes healthy healing of your skin.

Try applying tea tree oil to your pimples too, straight after you cleanse.  It kills bacteria and removes excess dirt and oil.  It will sting a little, but it works really well.

Drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep.

A good over the counter cleanser is phisohex.  

Be careful about using products like proactive.  In cases of severe acne they can be more harmful than healing.  I've heard dermatologists say not to use it.  

Go see a doctor cause there are some drugs out there that can help, though the side effects of them can be quite harsh.  Preserve with it all!

Answer 18

Answer 19

Honestly, the best advice anyone can give you for severe acne is to see a dermatologist and follow his/her instructions.  Most times skin problems are caused by an internal problem that may require meds.  Don't risk future scarring and pox scars - take care of the problem the right way.  Good luck.
