i need some help on clearing up some acne??

Question

is there any way to clear up acne within less than 2 months without buying proactiv or anything?? i drink water everyday but usually no more than 2 glasses i think. plus i exercise on an indoor bike. any suggestions. i've heard that if u cut out all sugar from ur diet it will go away but i don't know. i'm already using some sort of face cleaning stuff but i think the problem is i pick my zits and then i notice they get worse but i can't seem to stop sometimes. plz help!?

Answer 1

DONT pick them! Don't use proactiv either. I used to use it and it only works while you use it. If you stop your acne comes back ten times worse. Drink a lot of water. Your acne could be caused by some sort of chemical inbalance. Acne pops up when skin is either too dry or too oily. Proactiv balances them. If you're using a product with Salicylic acid in it (spelling error?) then try applying an oil-free moisturizer to your face (sparingly) after washing your face. Proactiv is worth it if you can keep on affording it. With me, that wasn't the case.

Answer 2

I don't know how bad your acne is but from personal experience I can tell you accutane works. It has to be prescribed by a dermatologist but it has great results...you do have to be super careful not to get pregnant because it will cause birth defects. It is also recommended that you wait at least 6 months to 1 year to get pregnant after the treatments. I saw a huge difference in my complexion after just one month of using it and would totally recommend it to anyone out there that has tried everything out there and just can't get rid of that acne that keeps coming back. Good luck!

For a quick acne fix, you can grind up 2 aspirin, mix with a tiny bit of water, to make it into a sort of paste, then put on pimples. It really worked for me (: Also, don't pick your acne!! Try a face wash with Benozyl Peroxide, its kinda harsh, so don't use it much, or Salicylic Acid... It's a bit nicer to your skin... Benozyl can make your skin peel, so be careful. Alsooo, try putting Tea Tree Oil on acne after you wash your skin... If your skin is oily, put some lemon juice on a tissue, and rub it on your face. It dries us the oil, and makes your face less shiny.
So thats it. Good Luck!!

The medical treatment of Acne is as follows

Topical Treatment
- Adapalene (Differin) is comedolytic (dissolves the comedones ( whiteheads or blackheads) and anti-inflammatory
apply a small amount to involved skin once daily in the morning.
In case of skin irritation with peeling and redness, use once on alternate days.

- Erythromycin (an antibiotic) cream or lotion with Benzoyl peroxide (an antibiotic) cream.
apply both once daily in the evening.
------------
Systemic treatment

100 mg twice daily orally.

- Isotretinoin (Accutane) is comedolytic (dissolves the comedones ( whiteheads or blackheads) and is highly effective in the treatment of severe, recalcitrant acne. It has however many side effects.
initial dose of 0.5mg/kg/d orally for 4 weeks then increase slowly upto 120-150/kg.

A US Food and Drug Administration-mandated registry is now in place for anyone taking this drug.
