I am tired of all these pimples!!?

Question

I am a 20 year old male and am just too tired of trying out everything for my pimples! Nothing seems to work! There is a period when there are none of those, then when u think u got over it, they just appear - in full attendance!

I use benzoyl peroxide regularly, but it doesnt seem to work too. I feel like the ugliest guy around! Please help me!

Answer 1

Try using other cleansers/medications with salicylic acid as the active ingredient. Different acne responds to different medicines...

If that doesn't work, try seeing your doctor/dermatologist for some stronger medicine.

Answer 2

benzoyl peroxide will most likely make your skin worse!! switch to a salicylic acid (2%) cleanser and moisturiser and see if it helps. acne starts on the inside though, so nothing you put on your skin will "cure" it. Eat a healthy diet full of unprocessed foods (fresh fruit, veg , lean meat etc) at least 2ltr of water per day and have a look at www.acnezine.com. i haven't got it yet but am going to purchase it in the next couple of days, its guaranteed to work so you dont have much to lose. It basically detoxes your body (so your skin may get worse for a while. but after a few months everything will settle down and your body will be balanced!! Good luck!! Also if you acne is pretty bad dont use harsh scrubs or pick at them as this will spread the infection!!! : )

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.
This has worked for me and many many other happy people. Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart,
buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing
to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction...DONT over
use this or put anywhere else on your face.. It will cause drying and make you look worse. Also, If need
which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works
great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are
frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues.... DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the
dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals
such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE
PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but
will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also
things such as Accutane but have serious side effects.... THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no
longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL
DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

Answer 4

I had that problem until I was about 19. Nothing worked, and most that I tried would break my skin out in a rash... I was desperate.
I stopped eating chocolate - didn't help. Stopped eating cheese - didn't help.
When I finally stopped eating meat altogether, my skin started clearing up within weeks and now it's healthy and I never have any problems anymore.
I guess you have to find what is making your skin pimple up, there might be different triggers for different people.

Answer 5

Had the same problem in my teens and early twenties. My grandmother advised me to stay away from soaps and cleansers. Just use a hot face cloth to wash your face. It opens the pores. When you apply substances, especially artificial ones, it can mess up the natural process and inhibits the natural breathing process. Your skin is the largest organ on your body. It absorbs more contaminants than we're aware of. It took awhile but she was right. I'm really old now and people still think I'm only about 35 (yeah, I know it's just flattery). Also, stay away from the greasy foods and drugs. Eat as healthy as possible.

I've also never used deodorant or antiperspirant and according to people, have no body odor. I emit odor, of course, but it's a natural unoffensive one that no one seems to notice.

Answer 6

It's a big step, but try changing your diet to an all-natural, unprocessed lifestyle. Should help balance your body's chemicals in a matter of weeks (and you'll feel great, too!). Do a quick search for 'clean eating' for some guidelines.

Answer 7

In england theres a make called Witch which dries out spots dont know if they're the same thing but it works really well.

Answer 8

wash your face daily wit a mild balanced ph antibacterial soap, then add a moisturizing cream and don't touch the pimples you already have, go to a dermathologist to treat the problem

Answer 9

Even though your a guy, it might be smart to put some makeup over them until you find a cure - it may only be for girls, but it will cover them up until you find a solution.

Answer 10

Blistex medicated lip ointment. Try it before you knock it.
