Reasons for pimples:

A large number of oil producing glands called “sebaceous glands” are present under the skin on face, back, chest and shoulders. During puberty or menopause due to the influence of the sex hormones, which are produced in male and female, these glands become more active and produce an oily secretion called “sebum”. The sebum makes the skin more oily .The excessive sebum clogs the skin pore or the pit of the hair follicle forming acne or pimple.


Firstly, never keep on thinking about the pimples, how you look. Dont scratch or squeeze. There are different kind of pimples. In general, one can apply turmeric and benzac ac ointment to get relief from pimples and marks but the best thing is to get the right advice from the dermatologist. Sometimes depending upon the severity tablets will also be suggested, hence its always better to consult doctor than self medication. Also, drinking plenty of water and washing face regularly with mild soap will surely help to avoid further pimples and will bring glow to your face.

Alternatively, Ayurvedic treatment would be very effective.

The faster you can start the better. Scars apparently heal at a rate of 1% a day, so get some vitamin E oil on the stretch marks and scars ASAP. Vit E oil can be bought from your local chemist (drug store) in a pure 100% bottle. Dont go the moisurisers with vit E, go the 100% oil. Its cheap and helps to increase cell regeneration, while smoothing, moisturising and nourishing the skin. Its clear, a little sticky, but its great. You can also mix it with your normal moisturiser to boost that and you can also take it orally. It doesnt taste like much, but it all helps. Also look for moisturisers that contain vitamin E high up in the ingredients list (its often listed as Tocopheral Acetate, its scientific name), also ingredients with Shea butter, Aloe Vera, Grape seed oil, Tea Tree oil, Jojoba, Green Tea, Apricot Kernal oil, etc. Avoid products with Mineral oil, petrolatum, Liquidium parrafinium, petroleum jelly.

I am just checking out an alternative method of treating acne with something called "tea tree oil." My daughter has had skin problems and has used every possible medication, so we are looking to try something more natural with fewer side effects.

Regarding the marks (if you mean scarring): I recommend just giving it some time; they will eventually lighten. Otherwise consult your dermatologist. My daughter used Retin-A Micro with pretty good success. Over time, it causes the top layer of skin, where the scarring is, to peel off. It will make you sensitive to the sun, however, while you are using it.

Good luck!

don't touch pimples with your hands. use a face wash or soap that dries them up. use astringent and a mild moisturizer. try face packs that soak extra oil from skin(fullers earth).
for marks, any face scrub would show results.

Dont touch your face.

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracycline, 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 Wal-Mart, 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.... DON’T rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction. It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head...DON’T 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 aspirin 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 aspirin 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 redness out... again pretty harsh for sensitive skin.

Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the original 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 hypo allergic should work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Neutrogena, and Nivea make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dermatologist.

"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypo allergic 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 liquid 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.

Additional TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores. DON’T PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring DON’T EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensitive skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinegar, alcohol, etc... DON’T EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DON’T USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria because 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, & hypo allergic...Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. Changing pillow cases freq. ...avoiding dirty sports equip. such as helmets...can not hurt...Washing your face with first warm water to open pores and next a cool rise…
Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction - redness and infection (pimple)..black head is dirt or old oil trapped in pore, while a white head is the same thing you just don’t 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 sensitive 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 sensitive skin prone to breakouts. If you choose Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensitivity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a prescription for this product and I really don't believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. Defferin is a very similar to Retina-A. 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 ---------------------------------------------
