How do you deal with your acne?

Question

Lately, I have had pretty bad acne on my forehead. My complexion is very bad. I hate when ignorant people are always telling me to wash my face better or when they cringe at my face. It is really bringing down my self esteem!! So, I have a bunch of acne scars and some acne. Is there any way that this can be helped?

Answer 2

If you haven't already tried Proactive, then i'd highly suggest it. If your a girl, and you wear makeup daily, try finding a foundation or powder that isn't pore-clogging, or too oily. If you don't have a problem with it, go and sign up for tanning, it helps your face a lot, and i have many friends, guys and girls, who go just to help out with acne. Also, when you get home from school, or work, find a good face wash, and thoroughly wash your face, and then put makeup or whatever back on if needed. If this doesn't work after trying it out for a while, then i'd suggest talking to a dermatologist if it's really bothering you. Don't take into consideration what other people say. If all they have to worry about is some other person's acne, then they obviously don't have enough of a life. If you can't help something, then you definitely don't need to let other's bring you down! Good luck.

oh, also, when you wash your face, wash it with warm water, and when you've used your wash, splash your face with cold water--it closes your pores to prevent clogging.

This acne can be easily cleared with Vitamin A derivatives.
Anything such as Retin A , Differin or Tazorac will work.

Topical Retinoids:
Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives and are very effective in treatment of mild to moderate acne. Topical retinoid formulations may contain active ingredients such as adapalene, tazarotene and tretinoin. Topical retinoids clear the clogged pores and have anti-inflammatory properties. Another advantage of using topical retinoids is that they help remove fine lines and wrinkles. Topical retinoids may produce skin irritation. They should be strictly used under medical supervision as some of them such as tazarotene have shown birth defects in animal trials.

If it's that bad you should see a dermatologist. For some people (like me) it's just cause by hormones and no amount of miricle cleansers will do much but the medication is supposed to work. Also what I found was too much scrubbing cleansers and anti-acne products irritated my skin and made it break out worse. It got slightly better when I switched to a more gentle cleanser (but that's just me)

ignorant people have always been a pet peeve of mine as they don't take the time to think before opening their mouths and blurting something out. treatment such as clearpores is very good and scar treatment kit from zenmed works well for small to medium scars.

Wish I could tell you. I tried everything out there from creams, gels, pills, proactiv, and chemical peels. Nothing helped! My face eventually cleared as I got older and started using birth control!
