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:

1. Toothpaste- You use this only when you have maybe a couple pimples that are real oily and you use this for maybe twenty minutes or so to soak up the oil.
2. Ice- Use for pimples that are swelled up.
3. Sugar and mild soap paste- Make a lather with the soap, the sugar, and a little water so that it makes a paste. Gently exfoliate in circles.
4. Washcloth (with sugar)- Run the washcloth under warm water, than gently exfoliate with sugar (optional).
Some tips for better skin:
1. Don't wash your face too often or too hard because that will dry it out or irritate your skin. Two times a day is fine.
2. Always use a moisturizer. You may want to use one that is a sunscreen and make sure that is non- comedogenic (doesn't clog pores.
3. GET PLENTY OF SLEEP!
4. Drink lots of water.
5. If you want a creamier complexion, rinse your face with cool water after washing it.
Hope this helps.....! =D

Toothpaste. Is. Not. Supposed. To. Be. Used. On. Acne.
Why do people insist on using things that aren't designed for acne on acne? Especially toothpaste. Aye.
Try a gentle cleanser, benzoyl peroxide is pretty effective at wiping out mild to moderate acne. I recommend Cetaphil cleansers and Oxy acne medication.

try putting a super hot wash cloth either on or close to your face to open the pores, then use salt as a scrub. this dries thm out. rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry. then rub a lemon on your face. it may sting but it is suppose to help. finally put toothpaste on it before going to sleep.
don't forget to moisturize!

use Clearasil's blackhead and acne control cream or skin pads. use about 3 of each kind on every area face each night. before doing that, you can use face wash by Johnson& johnson face wash, the good kind for sensitive skin, for about a min,. or two. keep doing this even after the acne is gone, and avoid having hair in your face, or touching it with dirty, greasy fingers.

1. Exercise at least 3 times week to sweat it out
2. Eat a balance diet, fresh fruits and lots of vegetables, low on fat and oil.
3. Practice facial cleanliness.

First of all it is not going to be over in a week.
Secondly, before taking any meds I would try natural homemade remedies.
like this:
"Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes, then wash"
