Hello people I have a 17 year old teenage boy.
I know that during puberty teens tend to get pimples on their faces.
Mine seems quite serious, there are red marks all over my face.
Anyone has any solution to it? Like what to eat and what not to eat, how to keep my face clean all the time or do you have any "secrets" to good skin to share?
I appreciate your comments.
PS: Pls don't ask me to go to the doctor as I did it already. =)

Sleep on a clean pillow case every few days, you can put tea tree oil on it at night, use the mint julep mask t wice a week. That really helps. Also make sure you exfoliate twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells. Make sure your clenser has acne medicine and most importantly drink plenty of water. That will help the most. I used to have problem skin, but now it is smooth and clear. I also put baking soda mixed with water on my face nad take a shower. it helps to exfoliate. That is what makes it baby soft. Good luck. What works for one person might not work for others. Using witch hazel as an astrigent also helps some people. I know the baking soda will get your skin noticably smooth right after you do it.

I'm surprised your dermatologist hasn't talked to you about accutane or something else pretty dramatic.
If your first dermatologist said no, find a second opinion to see if that's an option. It's harsh, but if properly used can be very helpful in the long run with constant monitoring.
If the second doctor says no, look into actually finding vitamin A oil and rubbing that on your skin to help dry it out. Remember to properly moisturize as necessary.
Good luck.

The best solution I've found is to keep the face CLEAN!!!
Wash your face 3 times a day - no more, no less.
Eat TOMATOES!!!
Never pick on your pimples.
After washing your face, apply facial cleanser, then your moisturizer.
Bottom line - keep your face always CLEAN!!!
And oh, whever I do see a zit or two pop on my face, I apply this medicinal cream called "Benzoyl Peroxide. PanOxyl" (acnegel). My mom's a doctor and she got me this from a drugstore. Don't know exactly where to find them........but yeah, apply that only on the areas where you have pimples and for me, well.......they disappear overnight.

i use aveeno face wash twice a day. ur acne wont be that bad anymore because ur not putting a lot of sunblock on ur face. Check out walmart in the section full of stuff for your face, they have EVERYTHING there. anyway, the main thing is is that you wash ur face twice a day and put on some acne solution to make it all go away. It will be about a month before you start seeing real improvement. And DO NOT pick at ur acne, it will just make it worse

Wow and the dr did not prescribe something?! What I use for acne is Proactiv. I am sure you have seen it on infomercials. It can be rather expensive, but seems to work for me as long as I use it. Stress can cause acne and the fact that you have bad acne can stress you out even more. I know I get acne before my period starts caused by the change in hormone levels. Good luck

i used proactiv for about 3 weeks and realized there was no change. it went on for a little over a month and i saw a dramatic difference. it really works. the thing is you have to keep using it. put it on before you go to sleep and then wake up and wash your face and reapply immediately. also, you need to stay active and drink lots of water. there are treatments for acne, but you also have to do your part in making your body healthy. this will reduce the amount of acne.
