how do i get rid of these horrible blackheads?
have a bunch of horrible blackheads on my face back and chest. i don't really get pimples and when i do they're small. but these blackheads are really bad. i'm 12 but thank god no one really notices them. there are tons on my forehead, nose, chest, and back. i don't know what to do. i've tried so many things:
clearasil acne treatment cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide
clearasil acne pads with sacyclic acid
noxzema
aveeno clear compexion face wash
aceeno skin brightening scrub
st. ives apricot scrub
biore pore strips
neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub
even home remedies like:
yogurt for 20 mintues
massaging olive oil into my face
lemon juice
onions
patting tomatoes on my face
even mixing salt and water together and patting that on my face
and using toothpaste
None of these really worked! now i'm just using dial soap and some of my brother's perscribed benzaclin gel. its seems to work but i'm waiting to go to the dermatologist myself. my mom always forgets to make the appoinment though so i don't see it happening soon :/ i've had this since i turned 9 and almost nothing has worked! don't give me any home remedies or expensive products like Murad or proactiv or those home remedies like toothpaste please. just products you're sure that are absolutely garunteed to work but aren't expensive. i'll use something within the range of 10-15 dollars or less nothing higher cause i don't get much of an allowance anyways.
no links plz because they are slow when i try to open them on my computer.
i do pop them but they always seemed to get worse while i did that so now i just leave them alone...

How can i get rid of my acne?! Please help!?
I have major whiteheads all over my forehead. There are bumps on every inch of my forehead, and nothing I try is helping me! I've used Boscia Treatment, Philosophy Microdelivery Peel, Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash, GoClear Treatment, and DDF Benzoyl Peroxide. I tried using the Acne.org Regimen, but I do not see signs of improvement. I've also used home remedies such as lemon juice and toothpaste.
WHAT WORKS?! Please, please, please help. Anything at all that works, no matter the price. Thank you!
So my cat has acne.. what now?
My cat has had acne on and off since kittenhood.. We bought prescription strength treatment from our vet and it didn't help. We bought benzoyl peroxide wipes from the store - didn't help (you can't find these ANYWHERE anymore). I don't use plastic bowls - only ceramic. I wash their bowls often with hot water and soap. I don't know what else to do. We have a new vet since the last one we got creams from but he's so expensive and nothing else has worked. Any home remedies that won't hurt her? It looks so bad and scabby.. I feel awful.
I don't think Proactive has made a cat version yet... lol
I'm obsessed with my facial blemishes?
In over 4 years I have acquried an obsession with my facial blemishes. I have a few nodules, I mainly get pustules (but I haven't in awhile), ocassionally papules & some whiteheads(closed comedones). I have a bunch of small acne scars on my forehead from picking but I've broken that habit.
I have combination skin meaning its oily on the forehead, nose & some of the skin under my eye right next to my nose. The parts that are oily are the areas that get acne & the dry areas are flawless. & I do use oil control film but it fails me.
I have tried everything from creams to foams to scrubs to facials to home remedies to on the spot acne treatments, benzoyl peroxide, salisylic acid, toners & so on.
I've used brands like Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Clean & Clear, Clearasil, St. Ives, Stridex, Sea Breeze, Eskinol, Olay, Erythromycin Topical Solution (prescribed by my dermatologist)
I have a device from Dermanew that uses microdermabrasion to refine & polish the skin & get deep down into the pores.
I mainly use honey if its for anything pimple related but I have used basil, oat meal, apple cider vinegar, sugar, green tea, etc.
I live cleanly & healthy. I was my hair everyday & make sure not to clean my hairline with conditioner. I pin my bangs up. My bed is clean. My house is clean. My town is not so clean. I eat healthy & drink tons of water, in fact its all I drink. I get enough hours of sleep. I am not stressed. My family hasn't suffered acne problems just the typical teen zits. I have finished my period a week ago too.
I have consulted my dermatologist about this & she gives me perscriptions that don't work or my mom won't buy it because its too expensive.
My acne isn't as severe as those people who desperately need it but on a scale from 1 - 10 of how pimply I am is about a 5.
So what can I do to rid myself of this acne or a way to cope with the ugliness.
Btw, all my treatments I have spaced out & I changed products like 4 or 5 months out of no results in usage.
I'm not stressed I'm just really bothered with all my acne.
mild comedonal acne and blackheads?
I have very slight comedonal acne, and I have a black head problem, I am currently using the st. Ives apricot scrub, I also have decided that my skin doesn't respond well to Benzoyl Peroxide, so I am resulting to Salicylic acid which hasn't bothered me yet. I am wondering if there is a better over the counter treatment for comedonal acne and I definitely want anexfoliater, and like a topical retinoid type something to help rid of it as well. any helpful information would be great. thanks
How do you treat acne without using "spot" treatment?
After using a basic cream cleanser for a month I'm convinced that the "on the spot" acne treatments/cleansers I was using for 6 years that contained either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide was making me break out more. I started using the treatment again and I broke out again.
So now that i've been using a cream cleanser and nothing else I have MUCH less acne. now its about 5-7 zits... pretty consistently for the past few months.
how do i get rid of the last few zits without using harsh treatments?
Clean & Clear persagel vs. Neutrogena on-to-spot acne treatment?
Hello,
I want to get rid of my acne so bad! Both Clean & clear and Neutrogena acne treatment have benzoyl peroxide. I read a lot of good reviews about them and its hard to pick one. Do you know what kind I should use..and idk what the hell acneace is and I don't want to use it..Btw I'm using clinique products right now the 3 step system but not the acne solution one (which I've tried and don't like)..they go great and do get rid of my acne but doesn't prevent future breakouts blah blah I just wanted something extra so my acne can get the hell away! Please tell me which one to get, I did try the clean and clear one when I was younger...I'm 13 and my acne really isn't that severe please help! No rude comments please. Thank you ;)
