Acne is a more serious medical condition. The so called Zits will whelp up and will scar your face. You see people with those little places that look like caves in their faces, that is scars from acne. A pimple is just that, a pimple. you only get those once in a while. If you are getting really big pimples-zits!, SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!! You need to see what your doctor recommends before you try over the counter stuff. You may need prescriptions to clear up your skin. Please take the time to call and talk to a nurse. You can find a "talk to a nurse service" in your yellow pages of your phone book. Hope this helps!

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Answer 5

The best Natural treatment would be to apply lime juice on the pimples. This is good for acne as well as its scars. Just slice a small piece of lime and apply the lime juice as well as the juice of the lime skin and let it dry. In your case as the pimple is big it would be better to hold the piece of lime on the pimple fore about a minute for it to absorb the juice and then let it to dry. You might get a burning sensation - do not worry about it. The best is to do it before going to bed.

Answer 6

i would say, if there had to be a difference, is that an acne zit is more like something one would get all the time while a pimple you just get every once in a while. acne is you have multiple blemishes.

Answer 7

Zit is a slang term for a pimple. If you lived in England you would call it a spot.

Answer 8

A couple of pimples is just pimples - but a large number of pimples clustered together that refuse to heal is considered acne.When you hit puberty, hormones in the body produce more oil, or sebum, in the skin. When this sebum builds up it will erupt into a pimple on the skin. Bacteria on the skin will cause infection and inflame the area creating more severe acne.............VINEGAR EQUALIZES THE PROSITY OF SKIN MAKE SOLUTION OF TEN TABLESPOONS OF WATER 1 VINGEGAR(ANY KIND) SPRAY ON FACE IN MORNING.wITH SPRAY BOTTLE)SPRAY ON FACE AFTERNOONS PAY DRY AFTER SPRAYING BETTER THAN A DERMATOLOGIST SAVES LOTS OF $$$$$$$$$
