What should I do if I have acne?


Mild Acne

- Wash your skin with a mild soap such as Purpose, Basis, or Neutrogena
- Don't scrub your face or use harsh soaps; you can't scrub acne away and you will probably only make things worse
- Don't pick at your face or "pop" pimples
Avoid moisturizers
- Remove headbands and helmets as soon as you are done using them. Wash your face after wearing a helmet or headband

There are a lot of medicines to treat acne. Some are over-the-counter, but many of the medicines require a prescription. Talk with your health care provider about medicines that might be helpful for treating your acne.


Severe Acne

- Since this acne tends to form scars, it is important to see your health care provider to help you with your acne. Your provider may refer you to a Dermatologist (doctor who specializes in treating skin problems). There are a lot of different medicines that can help with acne. You will need to be patient; it can take 8 to 12 weeks for acne to improve with any treatment.


Here are some things that may make acne worse:

- Scrubbing your face: this can irritate the skin and make more pimples
- Touching your face: remember there is oil and dirt on your hands
- "Picking" or "popping" pimples
- Headbands, helmets, and other things that cover the face
- Certain medications: ask your health care provider about this
- Certain jobs that increase exposure to oils and greases, like being a cook
- Oil in moisturizers and face creams
- Stress may cause hormone changes that lead to more acne


Here are some things that DO NOT cause acne:

- Greasy food
- Chocolate
- Soda

Answer 5

I believe so,yes. It isn't exactly the healthiest thing out there you can drink. Its loaded with sugars and fat. Don't take my word for it, but I know chocolate causes acne, so it makes sense to me if sodas did too.

Answer 6

drinkin' dark sodas will cause acne as well as eating chocolate but dat is just for certain people. I know when I was younger it messed wit me but I didnt like soda all dat much anyway but chocolate dat was a different thing.

Answer 7

I don' t think soda specifically will do that, but a bad diet and bad hygiene will definitely aid acne.

Answer 8

i think it's the sugar in the soda. Excess sugar can cause acne.

Answer 9

Yes, it is so full of sugar. It can break you out in all kinds of bumps, and it does a job on the stomach area, as well. It bloats it out.

Have a good night.

Answer 10

Totally, anything with high carbon and sugar will. Life sucks. You'd know if you were me....... =(

If you can do me an itsy bitsy small favor and look at my past questions about the law suit I want to file, I would really appreciate it. I'm only 13, and people are being really rude to me. Your feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you so much!
