Bad acne/breakout remedies?

Question

I have suffered from random and bad ance breakouts on my face. They are usually quite large sore-looking places. And turn into scabbed sores. I have been to the dermatologist several times, but none of the ointments or pills they give helps. Are there any home remedies or suggestions to help prevent my breakouts??

Answer 1

The best way in treating pimples is to use benzoyl peroxide 5% gel (available at your local drug store) to the involved areas at night and NeoStrata alpha hydroxyacid in the morning (without using prescription medication). Some people are allergic to benzoyl peroxide. A product named Tend Skin is an effective acne treatment. Another advice is to wash your face twice a day with a mild non-soap cleanser. Do not pick or squeeze your pimples, as it can leave scars. Acne surgery can be done using sterile instruments to remove blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.

Hope this helps you! Good Luck!

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.

Answer 5

This might sound strange, but i heard about this on tv and it actually works!!! If you get a bad zit and want to get rid of it fast, dab a little bit of toothpaste on it ( use paste, not the gel kind ). I was afraid to try it at first, but when i did, i couldn't believe that it actually worked ( and really fast too ). I put it on at night, and the next day, i couldn't even tell i had one!!! Good luck to you, acne can really make you crazy!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Proactiv is the best thing I've ever heard of. Retin-A is second best, from what I've ever heard.

On the sores I sometimes put Neosporin cream, & that helps those.
