im 19 now... had pimples since 15 and ever since got worse on my face neck back chest arms and a few on forearms. Some even get right next to my eybrow and above them... I get them in weird places sometimes... Most of its scarred up but i still get whiteheads on my face and neck... Well after alot of things i tried... pills... change of diet... dryin the skin... sun... creams... did all that nothing helps. i got my inner self handled... so i dont really care bout it too much anymore its just who i am... but sometimes it would be nice to not worry about bleeding cuz you bump into something with your shoulder and a whitehead squirts... I know laser and chemicals prolly could help alot... But I dont have the money.. Anything i can do to get rid of this ****? Dont say see a dermatologist or keep yaself clean and dry... i did just about anything you can imagine except literally peel my skin off...

Your skin is the largest organ in the body and is directly linked to your liver function. I would take a good Milk Thistle 3 times a day to support liver function. You must eat or drink somethings that are a stress on your liver: sodas, candy, sugar, alcohol, or foods rich in preservatives all will cause the liver to work harder than it can filter toxins. You should see how many functions your liver does-like a thousand or more. Also, I would increase my water intake to help the liver flush out toxins which is the base cause of acne: toxins in the blood that cause bacteria to form under the skin and get clogged. Let me know if this helps.

Well, I won't suggest going to see a dermatologist, but I will suggest a GP. There are bacteria all over the skin, and if they actually get into the skin or pores, a whitehead will form. It sounds as if that's probably what has happened to you- the bacteria that should be in limited numbers on the surface of you are either overgrowing, or have gotten hold of your hide. The doctor can prescribe you a low level antibiotic- the old favorite used to be Tetracycline. You would need to take it for a few months to allow the body to heal and get things under control again. Ordinarily docs don't like doing antibiotics for a long time, but in cases like yours they sometimes will. I suggest you make the appointment, and tell the doc just like you did here, that you have tried every potion and lotion and even been under the sun- and nothing is working. Sometimes adding a vitamin A and C supplement will help as well. You might also give the potions and lotions a break. Sometimes you upset the natural chemistry of the skin and that just makes things worse instead of better. You could actually be overdrying your skin and breaking out from that. I would also suggest you get a pair of the rough exfoliating gloves they sell at the drug store, and using those when you bathe to wash with instead of a washrag or sponge. They will help you remove dead skin and relieve the whiteheads situation before they get to the point of creating a problem for you. In some ways they do sort of "peel" you, but at least it's the dead stuff that needs to come off anyway. The regular acne pads used once a day after you do the glove scrub would probably help as well.
My eldest son had the same problem you are describing, and this was how we got things back under control. He still broke out occasionally but it was nothing like it had been before. I'm sorry you have the problem, and I hope you are able to get some relief. Like I said, a talk with the regular doc might give you the help you need to start things improving.

The pores of the skin on the body are different from the face. They are far bigger and active. The fact that most of the time they stay covered up does not help in the matter. Sweat, oil and synthetic fabrics irritate the pores and this can easily lead infectious bacteria to clog the surface, causing an acne nodule to form. Many reasons, such as hormone imbalances or over-activity also play a part in this. But the best way to prevent this acne from forming is to the keep the skin in a condition that does not make it easy for acne-forming bacteria to invade.

Yes, you've tried all sorts of remedies but don't give up as of yet. You are young and you'll want to enjoy a youthful life without body acne.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

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.
