Try any cream that has Benzoyl. That ingredient helps. I heard Nuetrogena cream helps. Don't pick at them, or rip them off. And don't put your hands on them. The oil and dirt from your hands will not make it go away, but make it worse.

I have been on Proactiv for 3 yrs.
A relative put me on it because you could not even see my skin because my acne was so thick (all over my face) And it was painful!! My face hurt even if the wind was blowing on it. By the end of the first week on it all of the swelling and redness was GONE!! and my face was back to a normal size. After the first month you would have never known that I had acne at all. I have been using it ever sense. I went to 3 dermatologists who wanted to put me on 2 different pills. Birth control and an acne pill. to which I found out the next morning caused birth defects in children . I am an loyal customer to Proactiv. GOOD LUCK!

Yeah eating fried foods doesnt really make a difference, so dont give that up.
Acne is caused by hormones.
Proactiv as people said is supposed to be pretty good.
Acutane (sp?) is a little harder core and has side effects, but it works, so maybe consult a dermatologist...

Start a food/exercise journal to keep track of what your eating and how active you are. Take a realistic look at the amount of fried foods and sugar/caffeine snacks you eat compared to veggies, seafood, fruits, etc...
People always told me I would grow out of my acne, I'm in my late twenties and still have to watch what I eat and do. It would be best if you can learn to control it naturally.

Cut down on fried foods, and don't try to remove with your hands. Wash your face with soap or something aleast 3 times a day.
