My cousin, she is only sixteen has suffered from acne and spots for 4 years and they dont seem to be improving. She really wants something that will make her red marks lighter and less noticeable. Has anyone tried anything that works. She drinks alot of water and is taking tetracycline and using zinereyt.

I'm 30 and have had acne problems sine I was 12. I recently tried Neutrogena's Acne Mark Fading Peel. It's worked wonders for me. My skin is the smoothest and clearest it's been since...well, EVER. I highly recommend.
The first couple times her skin might turn very red, but it fades quickly and it only happens the first few times...don't let it worry you.

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.

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.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Wel she should see a dermatologist and if she thinks its bad enough they have technology to pop the pimples and make them go away, with lasers and such. Only bad part is that it takes a few days to heal. If she pops her pimples that could be a reason they stick around. Popping them only causes them to spread. Also, milk is good for you in a lot of ways but not for acne. If she is starting to notice a bad breakout make sure she does not drink a lot of milk.

In the long long term, time. In the long term, put vidimen E on it. It's supposed to help clear scares. For short term, as in getting your picture taken in the next month or so, get some green powder of any kind that will stick to your face. Since green is the oppisite color of red it will neutalize the reddness.

She should see a dermatologist and ask him about "minocycline."
Also she should never touch her face with her hands.
