I have zits all over my forehead, and on the sides of my face close to my ears, and I have blackheads all over my nose. I also live in a very dry climate. What can I do to stop the acne before I end up like my brother who has severe acne all over his face and back?

Dear friend,

secound u have to avoid sun shine ...its better if u use sun protection cream which has the SPF ove than 25% ...any kind of course some brands are better ....and every3 hrs renew the cream if u are out of home or office....and even use them if its not a shiny day...
third always wash ur face with some good soap(not cosmetic) after u removing ur make up....cuz make up damage our skin and even some remover use it too.....
forth....usually hydratate ur skin with the cream(its better if u try to use some brand that are not cosmetic brands )....
First Q is how old are u and of course male or female and which nationality u have?
-The acne treatment depends on what kind of acne u have...we have many differen treatment for therm...
-First Step is avoid sun shine...u can use some protection cream which has the SPF over than 25%...then if u are a smoker have to decrease the number of them....decrease the fat food u take(oily.fast food.chips...)....drink enough water (more than 2 lits a day)....wash ur face with no bacter soap(at least twice a day)...if u are a girl dont use bad brand of make up stuff and wash ur make up as soon as possible(even if u use removal cream ).....if u start any mild sport like areobic or even jogging it will make ur skin better....take good nutrition and vegetable....
-secound we have some locolize solution ...they are antibactrial like erythromycin 1% and ....u can use them once every 2 nights on ur acnes(avoid 2 cm around ur eyes and 2 cm around ur mouth including ur nasolabial lines)....

-if non of them work or u have cystic acne with scar u have to use a drug calls Actane its full of Vit A , it has his own order and u just can have it by a dermatolog ...

There is a product called PureWorks that may be able to help. It is a new product specificly designed to kill bacteria and viruses for hours. It is put on the skin to prevent illness and infection as well as to drasticlly improve the quality of skin. This contains no alcohol so it will not sting at all or dry the skin.
Because all acne is is bacteria I have heard several people with severe acne use PureWorks to help. Though that is not it's purpose it has worked before, you might want to try the foam or lotion.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

I have read that some experts think long term acne and zit prevention is through proper diet, one that is very low in natural or artificial sugar.
Also, oatmeal soap, or a facial of warm oatmeal helps to control zits . Acne is something different than pimples.

Go to a doctor. They can prescribe some good antibiotics, cleansers, and gels that will help the problem. My 16 year old son had very bad acne on his back and the medicine the doctor prescribed worked wonders. She gave him a good antibiotic cream (Clinoxidyl) and a gel that helped keep the pores clean.

well i have acne problems myself. What I do is i make sure my face is always cleansed because dirt and oil build up causes black and white heads. Try using an facial cleanser such as clearasil or noxema. also use a facial moisturizer since you live in a dry climate.

i had acne before, tried all the drugstore stuff like clearisil, bla, bla, bla.....went to dermatologist & tried prescription creams & they only partly helped the acne, but made my skin very red & flaky & would make it hard to put on makeup to hide the remaining zits it didn't help.....the dematologist wasn't helpful.....the only thing that honestly helped me is Proactiv....you can buy it online or on ebay.....there's an infomercial of it too....I didn't believe it would work cuz I'd tried everything else...so why not try?

My brother had SEVERE acne and his dermatoligist gave him some acne medication called tazorac.Believe me, this stuff works. its expensive, but maybe you cn get a few samples from your dermatologist.
