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...

I want to use Cetaphil Face Wash
Clean and clear moisturizer
An acne spot treatment which brand I dont remember

Is it okay to use all these different brands on your face? Or should I stick with one product like Clinique or Neutrogena?
Helppp I need advice on acne like nowwww!!?
Okay so I'm 14 and I've had pretty clear skin other than the usual couple breakouts here and there. But recently, like a couple weeks ago I decided to use this new face wash..clean and clear continuous control acne cleanser. It had like 10% benzyol peroxide In it. I used it for two days, once in the morning and before i went to sleep and on the third day i noticed that my face was swollen and red and had like little red bumbs on it. I got an allergic reaction to it. Eventually the rash cleared up p after a few days..but now my skin is starting to break out.
I forgot to mention that my usual cleanser is the clinique three step thing. I'm back to using that now bu ti don't see any results. My forehead is filled with like tiny skin colored pimples and I tried putting the clean and clear spot treatment thing on it but Tit only caused the skin colored pimples to turn pink. I have two pimples on my chin, and i have a lot of other whiteheads around my face. So does anyone have a solution to this? My skin is extremmlllyyyyy sensitive so I don't wanna use something harsh on my face that'll make me get a n allergic reaction like last time.
Oh and i also forgot to mention that i wear cover-up to try and cover the pimples, but when i get home i feel dirty and oily and wash my face again, but then i wash it again before i go to bed as well. Ive just started doing that recently, and vie noticed my skin becoming rougher and breaking out more. Can someone please give me advice on what to do? I want clear skin soo bad,,I haven't been able to concentrate on nay of my school work because if this ://
I have neutrgena deep cleaning cleanser at home, should i try using that? Or would it be too risky and cause my face to develop an allergic reation? And are there anyways to get rid of a pimple over night?
How to get rid of acne and blackheads on the nose?
I just hit puberty so my skin if super oily. I get acne(pimples and zits)all over my face. And one is even on my neck! my parents can't afford a dermatologist. I'm not allowed to use any blackhead removers for my nose because my mom said that will only damage my skin. My mom does let me buy a face wash from Neutroguiena, it's the one Vanessa Hudgens did the add for. The face wash calmed down my acne for a little while but than it started up again. My aunt told me that my hair(I have dandruff, hey how do you get rid if dandruff??)causes my acne so I'm wondering if it's true. So any natural ways to remove acne and blackheads? thanks a bunch! and if you know how to get rid of dandruff please tell me! oh yeah and don't tell me to use pore strips or to try to squeeze out the blackheads, it doesn't work for me

Getting rid of chest blemish marks?
So occasionally I have a little chest acne. Actually I don't even think I could call them zits because sometimes alot of it is just these little bumps on my upper and lower chest area. I exfoliate, use face wash on them. If one is actually a zit and I do have to pop one however, there are always these little raised white marks on me after it's gone. I have very fair skin, and they always show on my chest unless i'm tan. It's not bad, but it's enough to bug me. Would anyone call these post bump marks a scar, or new skin marks? And how would I go about getting rid of them? They seem to not go away at all.

Questions About Stievamycin Gel(for acne)?
1) Do i apply the gel before bed then wash it off in the morning or apply it then wash it off immediately?
2)Whats cleanser? Whats the purpose of using it? What brands do you suggest? Can i just use my normal face wash with solastic acid as a cleanser?
3) Where do i apply the product? Do i just put it on the spots where i have pimples currently or do i put it on the entire area which is problematic? Like my nose is a really bad area for pimples can i jsut put it on my entire nose?
4)Does blackheads and whitehead count as acne? Should i apply the gel to my blackhead and white head area's as well?

Obsessive compulsive BLACKHEAD PICKING. HELP?
So this is a problem I've had since I was about 12-13, when I noticed my first blackhead. I squeezed it out, and ever since then it has become a completely obsessive compulsive problem. Not everyday, but most days I'll sit in front of the mirror and just pick at almost every single pore on my face to squeeze what ever will come out. I know that's gross, but that's what I do. I don't have bad acne or anything, or even more blackheads than most people, but I just want to stop the picking. It sometimes leaves scars and even when it doesn't my face is always red and slightly swollen after I'm done. Most of the blackheads are around my nose, my chin, and forehead. When I do leave it alone for about a week my skin actually looks like it could almost be in a face wash commercial, but then all of sudden it's like there's this magnetic field in my mirror pulling me in and telling me to squeeze those suckers out. HELP! No rude comments please my mom already criticizes me enough.
