Answer 1

My skin doctor told me once that a couple factors play into it.

The first really depends on the person theirself and their genes.

The second depends on what you eat. Try avoiding sugars, chocolate and greasy foods. It's really good to avoid soda.

Basically, pimples are infections. They can happen because a skin pore gets clogged or for various other reasons such as an ingrown hair.

Also, the sun can help reduce your amount of acne. Friends of mine that sun tan say their pimples/acne dramaticly descreases when they sun tan.

I've found that my acne reduces when I avoid drinking as much soda and especially when I wash my face with acne pads that have salacylic acid. Normally I find the pads with the highest concentration of salacylic acid. Normally that is like 2% I think. Doesn't really matter what the brand is, just the concentration level of that as the active ingredient.

Also make sure not to pop your pimples, that can spread the infection to other areas of your skin. If you do, you need to make sure to clean your face right away.

Lastly, since pimples are a form of infection a skin doctor can prescribe you an antibiotic to help fight the acne.

I have a friend that is a doctor, and he said that relating skin acne to food was bogus. But I think relating it to food does have some merit.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Wash your whole body with Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash, concentrating on the areas with pimples. Wait a minute or so before rinsing to get rid of all the oil, and to let the medicine sink in and do its work.
Exfoliate by using an abrasive sponge (Buf-Puf is one brand name) or a loofa (plastic pouf "washcloth" that looks like a white mesh ball). Don't scrub too hard, or you'll increase irritation.
Moisturize with an oil-free, medicated lotion, such as Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer.
Spot treat with acne medication cream. Since you are already using salicylic acid to wash and moisturize, use a different medicine for spot treatment, such as 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Do not use a 5% or 10% benzoyl peroxide, because this will increase irritation without increasing the rate at which the pimples diminish. (If you're sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, sulfur may work.)

Stay in the beach water for about 5 minutes with your whole back under.
Lay flat on your stomach with your bare back facing the sun until your back feels hot for about 10 minutes.
Keep alternating these steps about 4-6 times. The next day, you should see results. For really strong acne, do it 3 days in a row.

Why are you asking this in the Hone & Garden section? Are wanting to harvest your acne, or is your body type a landscape?

Answer 6

Seems a funny question in the Garden. Do you always find zits on your body between the corn rows?
