How to prevent pimples and treat them. I am starting to have lots of pimples and i don't know why.?

Question

please give some advice people
.. thanks

Answer 1

Hormones, stress, and age can play a role in acne. I use St.Ives Medicated Scrub myself and I feel it really works. I use wintergreen rubbing alcohol as an astringent, but if it starts drying my skin out too much I will use it every other day. Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.

i've been trying ancient chinese home remedies, it's nothing crazy and it has helped my acne. 1- use baby soap, lather it up really good, to get lots of bubbles! the oxygenating action that makes the cleanser/soap lather aids in killing bacteria. which is why the remedy stresses BUBBLES! 2- also i love neutrogena! been using the clear pore cleanser/mask smells nice, feels cool. it's a dual action product. can be used as cleanser and as a mask for deeper oil control 3- also neutogena's "acne stress control 3-in-1 hydro acne treatment". it looks greenish, smells great, feels great. 4- after washing your face PAT IT to almost dry, do not wipe off, it's very important to maintain healthy moisture which is sealed in by the lotion you apply on. 5- chinese remedy also says, stay away from, fatty, greasy and spicy foods. 6- drink lots of water. 7- drink green tea, it's a detoxifying agent. 8- aply a mask 1-2 times a week. 9- do not pop pimples! please hun, it will makes it worse! 10- if you absolutely must pop, wash area, cover nails with tissue. if pimple does not pop easily then it is not ready and further popping could leave a scar. apply a dab of basic toothpaste (not tooth gel, it's too strong and will burn) this will dry up the pimple. Hope this helps, be gentle and be patient.

Wash your face often, at least twice a day, with a good cleanser (you will probably want to choose one especially designed for oily/acne prone skin- Neutrogena, Clearasil, & St. Ives have all worked well for me). Make sure you are washing with COLD water. If your skin starts to dry out, use an oil-free moisturizer. Some possible causes could be hormones, a bad diet, or even stress...if the problem persists, I would suggest going to a dermatologist to discuss further treatment or to simply get some good creams/acne products.

Answer 4

well i don't know how to treat them but i know how to prevent because i have loads of pimples but some studies show that how much sets you eat can be a main cause so what i am trying i cutting down on sugar so why not try hat but do not pick it can cause sores and then scars but if cutting down on sugar doesn't work try something else

Answer 5

Don't use clean and clear or noxema cleanser or any of that stuff on your face. Don't even use soap. Maybe you've tried a new soap and your face doesn't like it. :-) Get yourself a bag of cotton balls and some astringent. "Equate" brand will do, and clean your face thoroughly every night.

Answer 7

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..It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head...DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.

Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin...
other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
probably would take the reddness out... again pretty harsh for sensative skin.

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...Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypoallergic should
work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Nutragena, and Nivea
make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dematologist.

"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypoallergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women.
I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose luqid soap" saying
that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and
according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. I have also heard good responses from "cetaphil soap". These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use
of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has
shown in many many people.

Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores.
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 such as Major Depression, & birth defects in unborn children, among others
If you wear make up make sure it is oil free, & hypoallergic...Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. changing pillow cases freq.
etc ...avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets...can not hurt...Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged
up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction - reddness and infection (pimple)..black head is dirt trapped in pore, while a white
head is the same thing you just dont see the dirt instead you see white pus (lymphocytes that accumulate in the area to fight the infection)
It has been shown in many studies this most often not caused by what you eat (chocolate etc... or how clean you are) but most often by either excess oils plugging pores or a bacteria
on the skins surface. - Proactive works in some people because it is a strong Benzoyl peroxide based washed but is most freq. to strong
for people with sensative skin - this is why alot of people get excessive drying and flaking, rashes, bleaching or breakouts from the product.
Retina-A does decrease the bacterial growth on your face but also removes dead/living skin, this can work well in some individuals and
has been shown to reduce wrinkles and scars but again I feel this is pretty harsh on sensative skin prone to breakouts. If you choose
Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensativity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a perscription
for this product and I really don't believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. In some rare cases for very deep/large boils and cyst types
of pimples oral antibiotics maybe needed but I would first recommend trying "purpose" and a low dose "benzoyl-peroxide cream" along with a good
oil free moisturizer "Nutraderm... etc" this does work well.

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 ---------------------------------------------
