i wanna join the swim team but i am very embarrased about the acne on my back and chest.

I heard that getting sun will dry up the pimples but that only lasts about 2 or 3 days then it comes back. What should i do?

Getting a moderate amount of unshielded sun plus a 100% raw diet with 0 refined sugar or processed foods is a guaranteed cure.

For the sun, start with only 10 minutes then gradually build in increments of 5 minutes every 2 days with a max of 30-45minutes. Do not use artificial UV tanning of any kind.

Any other topical product does not treat the root of the problem.

The diet is rather difficult, if you are serious enough about having pure, healthy skin then follow: http://www.freeacnebook.com/SampleDiet.htm

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.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

The sun theory is only short term and it also harms you in the long run. Get the Neutrogena acne body wash or go to a dermatologist.
The chlorine in the pool will probably clear it up too.

I suggest you to proceed to eliminate the root cause of acne/pimples so that they never come up again.If one hundredth percent of food is not digested, it creates a little toxin in the system. Over period of time such toxin accumulates and start damaging the body. First symptom is acidity and heart burn. Our body does not want to retain toxin inside the system and starts expelling it out through acne/pimples etc.To get rid of acne problem for ever you have to cleanse and improve your digestive system. To achieve this end , the remedy is very simple. Immediately after getting up in the morning, before you wash your mouth,you have to drink 1 litre of water.That may be difficult in first few days. You will see amazing results in 10 days time.

I used to have really bad acne, i went to the dermatologist and they gave me pills called acutane! It got worse at first but then it cleared all the way up! Oh and try just using a wet cloth with no soap on it and scrubbing your back when you shower!

Try washing the body with head and shoulders.

Neutrogena's body wash for acne does work...so does the deep pore cleanser (my boyfriend had black heads on his legs, chest, and back). Please don't use these 2 products on your face...they are strong.
