Salicylic acid burn on dark acne spot ?
I have this hyper-pigmented dark spot from picking a pimple. The pimple's gone but for a couple weeks it's left this darkened hyperpigmentated spot in that area.
So yesterday in an attempt to lighten the dark spot, i exfoliated it with brown sugar, n then later on I put on some of the clean and clear advantage acne spot treatment with 2% salicylic acid.
It burnt my skin bad, n I thought the salicylic acid would dissolve the hyperpigmented skin or something = [
The spot is now darker n more noticeable.
What is the quickest thing I can do to heal this ?
Thank you.
why is my acne getting worse?
ive always had moderate acne that at times got pretty bad and i was forced to use foundation (which is embarrassing since im a guy) but most of the time it was OK. ive always been pretty self conscious about it. ive tried proactive numerous drug store cleansers egg masks...you name it. so about 6 weeks ago i started using this lerosset stuff. its supposed to be 100% organic and clear your skin no matter what, without using any BP or acids. its got like one ingredient. at first it was working beautifully but after a couple weeks my acne got worse and i talked to the company and they told my to change the way i use it. ive looked through reviews of this product and theres no bad ones. all were successfull. could i be the only one it doesnt work for? im getting really nervous since schools coming up soon and i have this diseased face and i have no idea wat to do. does anyone have any tips or treatments that actually work?? im talking bout diet and natural stuff. no acids or drug store crap!
Ugh chest acne…. =[?
I have it pretty bad on my chest and somewhat on my back. I don't mean to gross anyone out, but I'm just looking for some help. I just started using a Nuetrogeana body wash on my chest and back every day in the shower (using a bath puff) a couple weeks ago and it's not really helping. I also started applying Aloe Vera about a week ago because I read that that is supposed to help...and it might be too soon to tell but I really haven't noticed a difference. My main issue is not being able to be seen in a swim suit because of it. Please help!!
soap and water was what I first tried and definitely did NOT work.

How Come Most People Don't Get Acne?
Don't come in here saying "Everybody Get's It one time or another" because that is not true, having one pimple is different than having a face full of zits. 95% of people in the general population don't 1 single pimple on their face, my face lately? Has been break out so bad, I'm so miserable, my face has always broken out I have senstive skin, but lately it's like gottan really bad!! I can't remember the last time I went out and did something , I rarely talk to anybody at work, in college I was always hiding and not talking to anybody. It's affected me psycologically and sociolly really bad, I have tried excercising, every over the counter treatment, every home remedy, changed my diet, tried all prescriptions, and their isn't ANYTHING it all breaks down to genes, it's so depressing, I live by myself now and I ran out of food, and I been so embarressed to go out even shopping to buy groceries, most people in general are shallow and they are quick to judge you and look down on you, so it's not even worth wasting your time out their. People say "The only person worrying about it the most is YOU".. Well that is true, but I wouldn't be so worried, if I felt like I wasn't always around shallow people, if acne was more common than ppl would treat you more normal but since it's not they look at you like a monster.....When my face is clear I am totally different person, I love making friends, going out, meeting girls, and I do have good looks, and LOVE living my life, but I been suffering way too long I have turned into a loser with no life what so ever, I wish all these spoiled kids that live perfect lives would get cursed with bad acne, it's not fair only a tiny percentage of people get literally CURSED with this while everybody else gets a normal chance. I got a doctors appt in a couple weeks, I'm going to ask for accutane, I'm absolutely hopeless, I'm fixing to quit my job soon bc of it and move back home with my parents, I'm 20 btw.. And I'm gonna take the semseter off and start in the spring. I'm glad some people feel my pain, but not everybody does, they could only say "try PRO ACTIVE!!" gimme a break, all that is exfoliator, toner, and lotion, I can BUY all that for 5$ at the store it doesn't work. They show all these commercials "CLEAN AAND CLEAR AND UNDER CONTROL!!" those girls u can tell never had one pimple maybe a little tiny one nobody could see. Shoot I'll trade them faces any day, all the countless day I've wasted struggling I can't wait to get on accutane, sorry so long I just needed to vent :-(
