Answer 6

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.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

You can all waste your money on all the creams and lotions you want, but isopropyl alcohol will kill any of the germs or bacteria that causes acne. Yes it might dry your face out a little but the oil on your skin is what is trapping the dirt in your pores giving you pimples. You have to get the dirt out and dry your skin a little so you do not have all the trapped dirt. Do the math isopropyl alcohol - $.80 cents, works the first time. Creams and Lotions starting at $19.95 and most people still have craters on their face from all the acne

Answer 10

alcohol will kill any active bacteria P.acnes on your skin.
But it will not prevent acne.
Please don't use alcohol.
Much better acne treatments are available.

Acne begins with plugged skin pores and develops in stages. In the first stage, acne usually begins in the form of whiteheads and blackheads (caused by plugged pores of the skin). Blackheads are called open comedones. Whiteheads are called closed comedones. The blackheads and whiteheads are the first stage of acne. The second stage is pimples or zits. They are medically known as papules and pustules. Pimples form when the acne gets inflamed. Some people suffer from third stage of serious acne, called as nodules and cysts. These are very large and deep lumps of acne. Generally skin forms scars if acne progresses to second and third stages.

Where does acne develop?
Acne develops on all the places of the body where sebaceous glands are found. The sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum. Sebaceous glands are attached to hair follicles and are located mainly on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, neck and upper arms. With the clogging of sebaceous glands, acne develops.

Who gets acne?
Though mainly teenagers suffer from acne, anybody can get it. It can occur in the age groups of thirties, forties or above.

Answer 11

well it depends.. most times i find isopropol alcohol isn't the thing to do.

i find creams like noxema, facial creams to wash with are best... massage your face, steam it, rub it down with a soft towel.

i also find dry applications like oxy pads are best for clearing up break outs and drying up stubborn cysts.

those are the more successful solutions.

creams for acne and total salon care that you can get over the counter is more hype than functional.

acne pads and noxema, skin washing creams are best. it'll keep your face dry and breathable without flaking the skin where the dead skin will clog pores when you're oils come to the surface.

remember sweating is also a good way to clean, make sure you sweat enough to while exercising... and remember to massage the face and other areas dry after you sweat... during your sweating session.

also take in enough hydration from water and juices.

keep away from too much sugar also.

also a proper diet helps. i know i know... but it really does but you got to stick with it.

i hope this helps. it helps alot of people i know well into their adult years too. dirt never ends.
