never really had it that bad but im 18 and most people start losing it and it's like mine is starting to flare and get worse and my skin is also scaring alot easier. Why is it getting worse instead of better with my age? and how do you control it?
cause right now it's still no where near like my friends or cousins. I'm just afraid if i dont keep up it will get there. I use proactive already.......... so any ideals? cause it's embarrassing

A couple of good facial products for cleansing are Noxzema and Physoderm (they have a couple of formulations) and then I also started taking a multi-vitamin. Mine are actually prenatal vitamins that I was able to buy OTC (over the counter) at my local Wal-Mart. I also found out from the pharmacist there that this is the best kind for a woman to take. And no, I've never been pregnant. I checked with my dr about if it was ok for me to take it and she said it was.
Sometimes antibiotic therapy from your dr can be of some help. I would recommend talking to your dr to check in to the possibility of hormone imbalances.

Acne, of various types, can actually affect any age. There is an infantile type, an adolescent/teenage type and an adult type.
Generally all the types are most commonly managed with antibiotics, either oral or topical, often together with a degreaser.
Have a chat with your GP to arrange some therapy. If it is controlled the risk of scarring is reduced.

This acne or pimple and scar removing lotion will help to get rid of acne . China clay powder – 1 tsp, Honey – ½ tsp, Carrot juice – ½ tsp, Garlic paste – ¼ tsp Mix all the above items to form a lotion, and apply the mask on the pimples. Leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water and then wash with cold water. Tomato slices, turmeric, papaya juices and home made packs will treat existing acne or pimples and prevent further problems. Hope you find more remedies at this link.

alright before all that treatment crap you can do certain things to help your skin.
1)get some sun which means GO OUTSIDE but not too much kuz your skin needs a little sunlight.too much might be about 3 hours.
2)eat breakfast(don't know if you're already doing this)
3)eat fruit(acne is not caused by what you eat but fruits help nourish your skin.)
4)exercise and don't wear make up when you exercise :/(and too much make up is just plain bad for you)
acne is caused by hormones and bacteria(bacteria plus oil builds on your face and your body can't slough it off fast enough)so make sure to clean your face off every morning and every night! oh yea keep doing that after it's gone kuz...thats just nasty if you don't.

At you age it's natural just keep using proactive - all boys/men have gone through this phase, so don't worry or be embarrassed

I've used Deffringel! That really works. I've also tried proactive. It didn't really help me much. You should try it! =)
