Body Acne?

Question

My boyfriend has really BAD acne on his face(not as bad) but on his back!!! Oh my goodness! I love him no matter what but he has it EVERYWHERE and all I have to do is like if I am scratching his back or even just touching it the pimples POP with like the least amount of preasure!! It's all on his face, neck, shoulders, and back!! I don't want to hurt his feelings but he needs to get rid of it!! What can he do?? ALSO if he has HUGE bluging WHITE HEADS on his face that are the same way- burst if you barely touch them, is it really that bad to pop them?

Answer 1

...ok.....ive been on acne medicine for the longest time...for about 6 yrs....

ummm...for the face if you pop the white heads on his face they might cause scaring...but that really depends on the type of skin you have.....so i would try poping a few and depending on that....would result in wiether to continue it or not...also after he gets out of the shower his pores are loosened up so...its alot more eaiser to pop the black and white heads....but for the body acne....if you pop them you can cause serious scaring....if there PIMPLES...!!! usually the black heads and white head wont leave scaring...going to the dermatoogist is your best bet!!!!....but if your to conserned about his feelings....just talk it over to him..and see what he thinks about his back...because when i use to have really bad back acne....it would ich and burn alot....so talk to him and consider seeing a dermatologist...

i hope i was some help.....

Answer 3

Advise him to see a dermatologist. There is Accutane which will definitly get rid of it, for some the acne never came back, others it did come back but not for a long period of time. Good luck!

Answer 4

As others have said, I'd recommend he see a dermatologist as over the counter products can help, but are minimal. In the meantime, for his back acne, Neutrogena has a shower wash that is for people with acne. It's meant for body acne. I forget the exact name.

Answer 5

He just needs to go to the doctor. With it being really bad, the doctor will probably prescribe Accutane to him. This was the only treatment that helped my acne. It does, however, require that he has his blood drawn every month he is on it. But Accutane was what did the trick in getting rid of my acne.

Answer 6

No and yes. if you do pop them it will leave a mark on you. Proactive really works you should order some for him and make sure he uses it every day at least in the morning and at bedtime. and to drinks lots of water and stay away from caffinated sweet drinks

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate himself on detoxifying the blood.

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures

1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.

2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.

3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.

4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.

5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

Best of health to you
