Answer 1

a friend of mine has the same problem and she tried that proactive and to her surprise and mine,,,,, it really did work but she also had to change makeup because the one she was using was the cause of alot of the problem because of all of the stuff that is in it ,,,,,, she is now using baresence its alot like bare natural and she look really good now

Answer 2

First if you boyfriend dumped you because of that he did you a favor. From a guy who is engaged to a woman who had a bad acne problem, my best suggestion is seek a dermatologist.

My fiance' tried many over the counter products and a lot made it worse or worked temporarily. I never had a problem with her acne but I know it bothered her because she didn't always look her best. I wish I could spite off the drug names she uses but I don't know exactly. After meeting with a dermatologist, he prescribed an actual pill she took like twice a day along with a bottle solution she uses on her face. This was like 4 months ago and has had a severe breakout since, just maybe like one here and one there thing.

Don't wait to long if your young, my fiance' is 29 and just started seeking real medical help and not over the counter products, even proactive which did nothing for her.

PS Stay away from jerks that only see your outside beauty and not the full picture.

There is no reason for you to live with this. In the not-so-distant past, there were all kinds of falacious advice on how to treat acne, (no chocolate, wash your face often, etc.) The medical community has made great strides in the treatment of acne. Mostly it is caused by hormones, and yours are probably raging right now. GO TO A DERMATOLOGIST! Even if you have to pay for it yourself, go. Look in the yellow pages, and call to see which doc in your area specializes in the treament of acne. Your life will be so much better, and there are such good medicines now to treat this problem. You can resign yourself to several years of embarassment, and misery, or go to a doc and get it treated. You'll be so much happier if you do this.

Answer 4

Acne is a touchy subject. I had a major problem when I was younger. I went to the dermatologist all the time, trying new creams and pills... Nothing seemed to work... My father used to just laugh at me and say I was worrying about nothing, because it goes away naturally. I can tell you this confidently. I believe a good diet, and cleaning of the face often, really is what helped me. I stopped putting my hands on my face and washed every time I went into the restroom... It took extra effort, but it paid off in my opinion... And I understand that it may have hurt to lose someone over somthing like this. But it doesn't sound like he was really looking at you anyway...

Answer 5

if ur skin is responding badly to most products u'd best see a doc, u might have extra sensitive skin or u might be sensitive to a common component in acne removers, dont try much else untill u see a specialist. Dont worry there anre treatments that a doc can get that aren't of the off the shelf variety.
And forget the bf. theres plenty of us guys out there and not all of us go for looks alone, the type that go by ur looks alone aint the best relationship option if they dump u over acne.
(ps: dont try the offering points thing too often u might get too much junk)

Answer 6

go to the doctor. i didnt have that bad acne, but i did. she gave me two prescription gels, differin, and duac topical. its been more then a month and i still have some, but they are small and a lot of them are gone, oh and 4get about boyfriends-i mean u know they shud like u 4 u. lol. okay well the new olay acne wash is good tooo. i think u shud go to the doctor and get a good wash and remermber use oil free stuff, like lotion, sunscreen on ur face. hope this helps

Answer 7

you need to go to the dermatologist, only he can help you. what works for one person , does not mean it will work for you . when you have bad acne you need the attention of your dermatologist so just go to the Dr nothing else is really gonna work as you already know because you have tried just about every over the counter product. lol

Answer 8

ther's no need for a mile long advice for this.U sound really sad over ur acne,u don't want it to transform into anythng worse, do u?Then go to a good dermatologist,try out the medicine,pray to god.Don't thnk i'm spiritual.I hope u get cute guys whom u can trust!

Answer 9

Okay, was your face several times a day with cleansing wash. i recommend St. Ives. If nothing happens or no big improvement, go see a special skin doctor. Note..... i would wait a month before i would go see the doctor, these things do take time

Answer 10

you could try lots of things. going on the pill can help, depending on which one it is, Dermologica is an excellent brand, you can also get your skin "clocked". I'm not sure where to get this done though. TBH you should go to a dermotologist or your doctor because you need mediacation to get rid of it if it's really bad..
