Please help me with my teenage acne?
I am 15 years old and suffer from acne. My mom says its not bad, but i have the worst skin out of all my friends. I always cry and hate myself when i look in the mirror because of my acne!
I have tried wearing makeup, not wearing makeup, prescriptions, kits (acne free, neutrogena, proactiv etc.). I drink a lot of water and excersise. My mom works at a health food store so I eat LOTS (too many in my opinion) of veggies and fruits.
I ALWAYS take care of my skin. This meaning I wash my face morning and night with a cleanser, tone morning and night, moisturize morning and night, use spot treatments at night, and use a mild exfoliant every-other day. But whatever I do, my skin always has ACNE!!!!
My skin is oily, but can easily get dried out if I use a lot of acne medication on it. So I would say my skin is combination. Though acne is bad, my acne scars are worse!! I don't "pop" my pimples (instead I exfoliate and put spot medication on them, they usually pop by themselves). But I am left with red dots/discoloration all over my face. Powder wont cover them up so I usually have to wear concealer and foundation (I've tried not wearing makeup, but I still get acne so makeup isn't whats causing it).
I got prescriptions that kill the bacteria, and dry out my skin but NOTHING works!!! I'm so embarassed by my acne that I wont even let my best friends and my own PARENTS see me without my acne covered up.
I'm just a teenager who wants clear skin like my friends. I'm not asking to have PERFECT skin like models on tv or in magazines. I just want to be able to NOT wear makeup and still feel beautiful and confident.
If you have ANY suggestions on products, makeup, treatments, or just tips about curing acne please share! All answers are GREATLY appreciated. thanks =]

Red spots on my legs..?
I've been getting teeny red dots on my thighs, knees, and shin that are flat or sometimes hurt and are a little inflamed. i read in a Seventeen magazine that they're caused from wearing too tight pants, which makes sense because I'm super skinny and I have to wear leggings under my jeans so they fit, and i love my jeans really tight. Natural oils and moisturizers from your skin try to come out of your pores on your legs and they get suffocated under the tightness of the leggings and/or jeans and they cause the red dots.
I know it's easy to just stop wearing tights pants and they'll go away, but I really like wearing tight jeans, they look best on me.
The teeny red dots are small and not really noticable but they're still there and obviously I want them gone.
I've tried Neosporin, acne-spot treatment, and exfoliating with a lufa and body wash in the shower and it helps a little, but they still come.
Besides stopping wearing tight jeans can anyone tell me what I can do?
thankss
What is a good product for acne?
Hey I workout hard and I sweet allot. I try my best to keep it Clean but not really doing the job. I shave, I try to cut my hair often, I have mostly blackheads, I have like pimples at all, My face is like cover in small red dots areas I as dial up for shaving an dI use cetaphill for face. I also take multi-vitamin too.
Which is better for MY pimples? Salicylic acid or Benzoyl peroxide? See details.?
Okay. I have a few horrible painful breakouts. They're red and the pimples are big. I'm 14, so Im just at that age. I don't really need to see a dermitologist. I have a lot of spot treatments though. I have Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment. Which is salicylic acid. Or, I have Benzigel5. - 5%BP. I have sensitve and very oily skin, mainly or my nose and forehead. I breakout very often. Not a day goes by that I don't have more than at least 2 pimples. I have big ones, and then just small tiny red dots that haven't come out of the skin yet on the corner of my mouth. Which product is better for me? The BP or Salicylic Acid ? Which will take less time? WHICH IS BETTER FOR MY SKIN!
Ps, the Cleanser I use is pHisoderm- Normal to Oily Skin, and does NOT have any acne fighting chemicals in it.
Blemishes-Homemade Treatments?
Hey,
I have light-mild acne. I have been using some home remedies (Lemon and Baking Soda) So far, it's been working, slowly, but good. Now, problem is, I only have like two tiny zits, but a lot of blemishes or the red dots you get after the zits go away. Which in return makes it look like I have acne -_- Is there anything I can use at home to rid of these? And if not, are there any over the counter medicines?
Thanks!
