Proactiv has worked for so many of my friends...hell, it's worth a shot...besides, Jessica Simpson says it works, so it must be true!

what you have are abnormal growths- not the usual pimples- I bet you kenw that already. Pimples start growing at adolescence basically due to hormonal changes brought about by physical development. It may continue at some stage, maybe until late 30's and I have seen some at early 40's. What you have might be irritted skin or allergic reaction. Make sure you not only have proper hygiene and diet but also the quality of air and water around.

I'm a 40 year old woman who never had pimples until my late 30s. The greatest misconception about acne is that it is caused by chocolate or other foods. The truth is that it's hormonal, but can be exacerbated by stress and touching your face at the affected areas. Try to eliminate those two factors from your life.
I know people who have used ProActiv and swear by it. I've never used it myself because my breakouts are seldom, and not that bad. The other thing I know which works is Acutane. This is something given by prescription only. I'm not sure if it would be given to you at your age. Ask your doctor.

I'm a 40 year old woman who has had rosacea for almost 20 years. I also get acne blemishes once in awhile no matter what I do. The best thing I did was to go to my doctor. She diagnosed my rosacea, which can cause redness and bumps that are similar to acne, and gave me the proper medicine for it. She also gave me medicine for the acne. It worked great. Go to your doctor. It may not be acne. If it is your doctor can help with it.

sure they are pimples ??? You could be allergic to something ....many people mistake hives for pimples as they are sometimes small...and have a white center (that's the allerigian coming out of your pores)
I used to getthem only when I started my period...I ate chocolate...never anyother time...then I found out that some chocolate has peanut oils in them..I have an allergy to nuts..when I stopped eating them,,,I stopped breaking out...instead I take a magnesium pill ...as that is what your body is craving when you crave chocolate..does the trick & no "out breaks" anymore.... I am 45....
