They won't go away!?
I've had pimples for a good while because of puberty. Well, these won't go away! I eat healthy and I wash my face in the morning(7:00), in the afternoon (5:00), and before bed (9:30). I use Clean&Clear advantage acne clearing astringent(it removes excess oil),every time i wash my face, in the morning and in the afternoon I use Clean&Clear advantage acne spot treatment, and at night I use Clean&Clear maxium strength Pes-gel10(like the acne spot treatment only it leaves a thin layer of white so it's not too attractive to have on...for that reason I use it at night). Do you have any tips on how to get rid of the pimples?! By the way,I'm a female and I'm 12. I'm 4'11'' and weigh 102 at the moment so it's not like my "eating habits" are messing it up. I don't smoke and I don't drink.
If you know any good and cheap dermatologists around then please leave a website address so I can go and check it out... also if you can (unless it said on the website) tell me how much (just the visit) would cost.

One thing that is amazing is swimming in a chlorine pool for 20-45 mins a day. At my high school when we took swimming towards the end of the semester you could see that almost everyone was acne free. And at my highschool the swimming team had no acne what so ever at all. IF you have access to a pool try that out.

you should go to the dermatologist and get some acne pills, they really help and if not switch from clean and clear

this can be genetic. ask your doctor about minocycline – it was the only thing that ever worked for me. all topical creams and washes did either nothing or give me a bad rash. this is a pill that is kind of like an antibiotic and the only bad side effect is that it makes your bones weaker if you have weak bones to begin with. if you have normal bones, then you should be fine and your face will clear right up

Sometimes over the counter stuff just doesn’t cut it. Dermatologists and doctors can prescribe medications that work better.
Antibiotics, topical ointments, or for very severe acne Accutane.

Egg White Mask
This is simple and quite frugal. There have been many instances of people reporting excellent results from trying it.
What is it? Egg white. Simple egg white.
All you need to do is separate the yolk from the egg whites. Then whip the egg whites until it is nice and frothy. Apply it to your clean face (using clean hands). Leave on for approximately 20 minutes and wash off with warm water.
The result? Tightening of the skin, clearing of red spots.
Possible side effects? If you’re allergic to eggs, of course, avoid this one.

Maybe they will help. But just don’t wash your face more than twice a day with water because it makes your skin oily and therefore "Hello Pimples". Try to use homemade stuff people you know whats actually in it unlike when you buy Clean & Clear or Garnier you don’t really know what’s in it and is it really harmful.
And the dermatologist thing. Umm my sister went to a doctor and he or she prescribed something fore her. I don’t know how much it was though.
