How to treat Acne bumps?

Question

I had clear skin before but when I turned 18, I had acne all over my face and my back. Two years have past and they're almost gone. But it left me with bumps and it looks like it has been there for almost two years.

From afar my skin looks O.K. but if you look at my face closely it doesn't look good at all. And they're even more visible if the light falls on my face.

I have been using Loreal Purezone products and since then I had less acne and pimples on my face. But the bumps won't go away! Some blends with my skin tone and some are reddish in color. I am fearing that they would be permanent. What should I do? Should I get a facial or skin peel? Please Help Me!!!:(

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.

For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.

You could have either, White heads Embedded, cystic acne, If so, please see a Dermatologist. If you're reddish/purple coloured ones are not painful, than those could be in the healing mode,( it can take a long time to heal after a severe problem) of you already might have some scarring, if so, special procedures like, dermal braison or liquid acid treatments, can reduce such.
Don't despair but at least have a professional diagnose you're problem before you're trying to many remedies, it could make things worse!

While many focus upon the biological or medicinal side of
acne, there are many researchers who are trying to see if
there might be a natural cure to this disease; a disease
which effects so many people.

One commonality that these researchers are finding is that
acne, although genetically passed on, can be controlled
with diet. Some scientists may disagree, but we've all
heard the old adage, "what you put in is what you get out".
This may be true with acne; even in it's most severe forms.

First and foremost, obesity has been thought as a major
factor contributing to acne. With an obese person, there is
an increased activity in the glands of the body, and this
includes the glands below hair follicles, which produce
oil. Losing weight and exercising each and every day may
help immensely. This requires no drugs, just self-control
and willpower.

Diet is another major concern for naturalists striving for
a cure. They are finding that a diet rich in vegetable and
fruit helps significantly balance hormones that effect
glands. Vegetables and fruit help keep the body in
homeostasis, or in balance.

The intake of fatty foods, such as Trans Fats, or those
made from animal products (milk based products, i.e.
margarine and even vegetable oils), also increases gland
activity in the body. There is a type of oil; however, that
may be good at fighting against acne.

Omega-3 oils, commonly found in fish and sea animals, is
natural oil that is good for the body, especially for the
skin. Other foods that contain oils, sugars, caffeine,
carbonization and heavy amounts of salts, should be avoided
at all costs for sufferers of acne.

Zinc, a mineral gaining much popularity in the natural
world for its medicinal qualities, helps fight the clogging
of pores that leads to acne. In the form of gluconate or
sulfate, it helps the skin heal blemishes and helps to
balance hormonal activity.

Zinc has recently been found to be as effective as
prescription strength tetracycline. Other vitamins,
including vitamin A and B6 may help substantially in
hormonal balance, resulting in clearer, healthier skin.

In any case, the positive effects seen from the uses of
natural medications and a proper diet cannot be ignored.
Even when compared to synthetic treatment options, natural
healing with vitamins and minerals may help even the most
severe cases.

Answer 5

I'd ask a doctor or dermatologist, tey'll know best. Since I can't see your acne right now, and nobody else on this site can, there is no way to tell.

Answer 6

as a fellow sufferer i would recommend seeing a doctor he can give you advice on antibiotics and other treatments. the best products for scarring are clinique and neutogena products.

Microdermabraison facials can work but they can irritate the skin, for best results i would recommend going to an experience plastic surgeon not a beauty salon.

Chemical peels are effective but they can cause red marks which can be premanent.

best to talk to a surgeon/doctor

hope this helps
