Answer 1

you are growing up yes. wash your hands more often much more often . wash your face with antibacterail hand soap or dish soap same thing often .
if you have a problem with the acne then you may get some regular old fashion bar type laundry soap from a grocercy store use that for a time and you will see a change in a week or so . keep up with the washing hands and face . face wash 3 or more times a day each time you sweat wash . in addition to the regular 3 times wash .
this is all you need to do . if the acne is not better after doing this for one month not all gone but much better then you need to see a doctor . dont waste your money on store products to that are expensive and a waste of money . good look with your skin . good luck with the girls too.

You are more than likely beginning puberty. Nothing to worry about! It happens to all of us. When a preteen or teenager reaches a certain age (this age is different for every person), he may notice his skin gets oilier and he sweats more. This is because his glands (in his skin) are growing, too, along with his body. You should do your best to wash and clean your skin everyday, although you still may develop pimples. Things like stress, hormones, environment, and lifestyle can cause break outs, but more often than not how badly you get acne depends on one thing -- genetics. Genetics is how we inherit traits from our parents. So, your skin may be much like your parent’s was when they were your age. You may choose to talk to a parent about your skin problem. Chances are, your mom or dad went through the exact same thing when she or he was your age, and they will be able too offer advice and help. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me at [e-mail]. I hope I’ve answered your question!

Well you might be going through puberty but you also my be getting pimples because you dont wash your face. Maybe you should try washing your face with soap and cold water. Hot water opens ur pours and cold closes so try that and if they dont go away you are probably are going through a lil bit of puberty.

Answer 4

ah... the first stages of puberty. yes buy a good face wash to keep it under control. you dont want to let the acne go crazy and take over your face. and its happening because your pores are opening up and oils and stuff get in there and cause acne.

yeah your def. going through puberty...which is a good thing. This is when you grow into who you are going to be for the rest of your life. Don't worry about the pimples...everyone gets them...I had them too...and things get better....

Answer 6

yeah sounds like zits to me. Just wash your face regularly, and if you really get bad zits get some acne cream that has salicylic acid or benzoic acid to dry them out.

if you ever want to pop them try to resist it but if you absolutely have to remember to wash your hands before and DON'T USE YOUR NAILS.
