Infection…face…pimples..ouch..help?
Everyone tells me I have a cute modelesque face but it has quite many impurities like pimples or random skin colored bumps and acne scars. On both of my cheeks I have an infection which I am taking prescribed antibiotics already. What can I do to subside the pain from those pimples bunched in together on my cheeks? They are red, irritated and my face is dry and oily...mostly dry...If i dont do anything they grow into more painful ones thats why I sometimes squeeze out the puss and white stuff out of them before they mutate into little scary monsters. There are many pimples in certain places on my face. Some other places are absolutely clear and pretty and shiny just perfect. But others are soooo ewww...How do I treat this fast? Ive been having pimples since I was 12 and i am 17 now. I am disgusted with myself. I want to clear out my face. Ive done some steaming with cammomille before but it doesn't really work. OH please, give me some idea of what I could do. Every night I wear benzaclin which is benzoyl peroxide on my pimples to get rid of them..It worked at first but now it doesn't. Ive done some yogurt honey healing masks but the redness on my scars and pimples is so persistent. School is in two days...and that really sucks because I have a crush. He has the most perfect skin Ive ever seen and he likes me too..but he only sees me in the cozy nice lighting of the school classrooms and hallways where the light hides my spots. I wear dermatological make up that covers my pimples up and makes it pretty.BUt please...any ideas what treatment I should do// at HOME..like....a steam...a soothing face mask for dry, pimply scarred skin?
why isnt my skin care treatments giving me the clear skin i want yet?! i cant stand my acne anymore! :(?
im a sophmore in highschool right now and i use to have clear perfect skin my whole life until i hit 6th grade. bam! that year i got a BUNCH of acne. first it started with alot on my forehead, then as the years went by it started spreading to the rest of my face. i've been struggling with acne for 5 years now. and i cant stand it anymore. i tried prescription medicines, face washes, and anything else. but starting last december, my mom started taking me to her skin care place. there they clean my face, give me acne laser treatments, and pop my pimples (in a safe way so i dont get any scars.) to be honest, as the years went by my acne started getting better, but its still pretty bad. and i've been going to skin care for over 8 months now. and to be honest, its not turning to the clear smooth skin i want to have. i hate having acne. its uncomfortable, brings my self esteem down, and i think of myself as a ugly person. so y isn't my skin clear by now? i mean i go to skin care every week. but its not making my acne disappear for good! i mean it makes my acne better, but its not giving me the smooth clear skin i desire. :( so y isnt it working? is it cuz i need to wait and then my acne will start disappearing? im seriously thinking about asking my dermatalogist why my treatments arent clearing up my skin as much as i want it to. so has anyone been in the same position as me? if not, i was thinking about trying proactiv. has anyone used that be4? if u hav any info please help me. :( i cant stand waking up in the morning to look in the bathroom mirror to c only an acne covered face.

How do I get perfect skin in a cheap way?
I am a junior in high school. In 10th grade I started getting zits. I used to have perfect skin and now all of a sudden it started changing. I do not have SEVERE acne, I just. well, on my chin and nose I have blackheads and on my fore-head I get these clear bumbs that don't hurt or anything and do not go away and you cannot see them from far away..but the bad thing is, is that I started picking them. Now they are more noticeable and I have a couple acne scars. I do not know how to get my healthy looking, zit free skin again. What can I do that is cheap? I've heard that DIAL SOAP works but I don't know for sure.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I don't know what to do, I always dwell on them.
there obviously is if my three of my friends have it. they only wash their face with soap. that is it. nothing else.
What's a good product for eliminating blackheads on my face?
I had a baby a few months ago, maybe my hormones are playing a role in it. I never had perfect skin, but it's getting worse. It seems like my pores are getting bigger or something like that. My face is covered with few pimples and lots of blackheads. I wash my face every morning and night. I use a foaming cleanser - not soap - and I exfoliate once a week. Is there something out there to help fix my skin? I've tried a lot of stuff, but nothing works. Would ProActive work? ...Or is that for acne only? Please help.
Why are some people more prone to acne?
I have been dealing with acne since 7th grade and I still have it. I have tried multiple treatments, but nothing is working. Why is it that some people have to deal with acne on a regular basis, while others have perfect skin? It has to be more than just taking care of your skin, because I do that.

I need some advice about spot treatments?
My friend has back acne and she got a prescription of benzoyl peroxide gel 5%. She used it on her back and the acne is gone but some scars are left. She tried it on her face where she had mild acne and her face used to be really bad. After some months, her acne on her face completely cleared up and she has perfect skin. It worked very well for her. So she gave me a tube of her gel, to try. I have quite alot of spots, but not acne.
Will this gel work extremely well on me, considering that I don't even have mild acne.
