My Horrible acne, please help.?

Question

Okay, im a 14 year old guy, turning 15. Since i was about 13 ive always had some sort of acne. When i first started getting it, it was just the usual 1 or 2. But last year, around november, it started getting moderate, in decemember moderate to servere , so i went to a doctor and got a 100mg dose of doxycilicine (90 days). But in the last like, 2 days its seems like now its fully past moderate. my face is all red and inflammed. i have acne all over my cheeks and chin. ive tried EVEYTHING. Proactiv, toothpaste, flaxseed oil, all the spot treatments and washes, everything. i got some manuka honey aged for 18 years from a health shop used for wounds, and that seems like it was making a difference, because i ran out about 3 days ago. today i made an appoitment with a dermatoligist for next thursday. ANd since im starting school back up tomorrow, i really want to get the inflammation down as much as i can. Ive been using a tinted moisterizer which hides it like a charm, but mum and dad --

have said its probably making it worse. it is non comedgiegieige (or what ever the **** it is) and i thought since its just a moiusterizer it shouldnt be making it worse. So i would really like to know, should i go get some more honey and do that until my appointment next thursday, stop using the moisterzier or just use it when i really have to, and why would it of got way worse it 2 days
?
all questions are appreicated, but please dont bullshit to me about the wonders of clearisil, proactiv, clean and clear, neutrgena and all that ****. x]

Hi Ryan


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 yourself 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

I am a student going to school for estetics, know the perfect solution!! wash with a cleanser, then moisturize, no lotion! Breakout on your forehead is usually from poor diet, stress, and no excersize. So make sure you get all of that right! Acne takes time to get rid of also. whatever you do, do not pick!!!!! cant stress that enough, it will leave scaring and make it look worse!! also if you have an over night clearing gel thats works good! put it under your moisturizer. another trick is putting toothpaste on the breakout, make sure it isn't a whitening toothpaste though!! if you can afford it, use a higher quality product! they go on smoother, and are more efficent.

I had the same problem and started using the Tea Tree skincare line from The Body Shop. This stuff turned my face around in just a few days. I would get the cleanser, toner, and matte moisturizer.
