What can I do about blackheads on my nose and acne on the rest of my face?

Question

I've just recently starting getting really bad acne problems. I used to have very clear skin before, but now my whole face has pimples on every corner, and my nose is FILLED with blackheads.

Besides biore and ponds nose strips, what else can I do to clear the blackheads?
And besides a good facewash (which I have) what else can I do to reduce my acne?

Thanks.

Answer 1

honestly silly rabbit I am an acne sufferer and after gathering the guts to take the only medication in the market to have 99% success rate in the treatment of acne (I have seen the results on people from this medication) but it has a lot of side effects, the doctor told me after my blood results that I will be from the 1% on who the medication would not work.
This is because I have polycystic ovaries ( a condition related to glucose intolerance) and this is the real problem I should be treating.
People like me should have a lifetime management through diet and excercise. I advise you as I advise myself to eat organic fresh minimally processed foods ( yes cereals like trix should be avoided) and to excercise and drink plenty of water.
Inshallah you will see an improvement in your skin and God knows best.

Oh my, we have the same problem. I used nose strips but it didnt work well, its still there. So the best thing i did was use neem and turmeric fash wash 2x a day and use a mudpack which u can find as long as it is good for oily skin. Here are some guidelines too.

Mild acne consists of small lesions, such as blackheads, whiteheads or pustules, which appear at or near the surface of the skin. As such, mild cases of acne can sometimes be controlled at home by:

Gently washing the affected area(s) with warm water and a mild soap twice a day to remove dead skin cells and excess oil

Using a topical (applied to the skin) over-the-counter acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid .

I used clearasil that contains 10% benzoyl peroxide. And im using an astringent toner also after washing my face. Hope this wud help you...

I recommend you get a referral from your family doctor to see a dermatologist.

A dermatologist can prescribe Retin A and Accutane,a family doctor cannot.

It's worth the visit,I have been seeing a dermatologist for many yrs.

I completely stopped using foundation. At first my skin looked horrible, however after two weeks it started looking better...much better! Having enough of sleep is sooo important and pay close attention on your stress level.
