[COLOR=red] [B] Hm.. tht happened to me as well.. what i did it leave it alone.. and when it becomes yellowish at the middle..squish it out.. and then it''ll leave nth at all..i still have pimples but like..im waiting til'it get big.. so i can take it out
ehhee and oh!! wash ur face everytime.. the pimples only comes up for ur age or .. oilyness in ur face or smth..
okay theres ur advice if it doesn't work im sorry!!

I use Proactiv. It tends to work really well, lay dormant for 2-3 weeks, then pick up again. It cleared me up right away, a little came back, and since then I've been pretty much pimple free. Except for that one week I ran out.

go see a doctor.

yeah..proactive will clear everything up and then you'll have TONS of pimples for a while, and it'll clear up again, but if you stop using it, it'll just start over again

go see a dermatologist. NOW.
trust me, they are awesome.
I use differin gel now and it works great!

my pimples leave scars when i dont touch them too ! >:[
but i dont get alot..

uhhmm try to prevent them, by:
- eat vegies
- dont eat oily foods
- get more sleep
- wash your face 3 times a day

^ no dont do that ! uhm no offence =X but when you pop it, it scars, & it makes more cause the "juice" spreads ! trust me, i have experience =.= i did it once, and i got three pimples around it !

mannn i feel ya..i get those damn acne scars toooo !! >=[ IT PISSES ME OFFF!! ..cause i always have to hide it with concealor.

There have been a lot of topics on this already so search before you post next time But... I just use acne soap & stuff. I don't know how to avoid the scars. I only have got that from picking them. So if you do, make sure you don't anymore. That's really bad. Also don't eat a lot of chocolate! That makes you break out more, that's what my mom told me at least.

how do you get scars if you leave them alone? isnt it the other way around?
yeah, just wash your face daily. everything should be just fine. remember to scrub

deep cleanse , drink lots of water and go buy noxema =D

Clean your face right after you sweat. I'm not sure. I have zits too. I don't touch them but they still leave a scar on my face.

well, my suggestion is to wash your face with mild soap and drink A LOT of water and don't eat too many sweets

aw..im sry. u should go to the dermatologist (SP??) and maybe they'll give you some medicine. it could work. But im not sure since i dont get them. im sry though!

yes drink LOTS..hey has anyone ever noticed that drinking a lot of water helps a lot of things..ha weird

Same w/ me, but there's this stuff I'm using now that helps lots. Umm, I prefer to use face washes w/ benozyl peroxide than that other stuff that's supposed to be used to acne medication.

I personally don't drink that much water or anything like that...Ooh, toothpaste of acne helps! It dries out the pimple. If you apply the toothpaste w/ a q-tip and leave it to dry overnight there should be some affect...You'd have to use it for a few nights to see some sort of result.

I went to a dermatologist, but I never went back. The stuff they perscribe will definitely work considering doctors are doctors..And that's why you're paying them.

You just have to find something that suits you as no one is the same.

Loreal pure zone worked for a lot of my friends. Stay away from chocolate. Find out if you have some allergies as well, that could cause breakouts. If you wear any makeup, try changing brands or getting some percription foundation. Other than that I cant help ya. Good luck tho!

i have that problem too =[

all i know..is concealer =X

but i like neutrogena...for face wash.

Use Clearasil. You put that on every 4 hours until the next 4 or 5 days, and your pimpils will be invisible. GONE.

Proactiv works great for me. It takes a while though if i think there are scars cause you pick your pimples. btw, im a guy if you guys dont know.

why dont you try going to a dermatologist...and try not touching your facee alot cause you can transfer all the dirt and bacteria irratating it more...
i had really bad acne but it started to go away...i used st. ives aprocot scrub then clearasil foam cleanserr...feel good and refreshingg

you should try not to touch your face with your hands because it can transfer oil frm your hand to your face and cause something to happen. and also .. wash your face 3 times a day. drink a lot of water. and wash your hair and pillow casse // bed sheet every week. it would efffect your skin because your pillow case is covered with your oil , which rubs on to your skin when you are sleeping. hope all my advice would help you lose your pimples. but currently i have the same problem as you,.. im trying my best to clear them all out . =)

mmm idk but proactive seems to work for me, it even got rid some of the scars on my face..so idk what works for you..so yeah like they said try the dermetologist

don't go crazy with products, if yu just wash it with regular face soap, use a toner (for dirt + oil), and use lotion/gel, it'll go away

Yeah you shouldnt use a lot of products it just messes up your face. But just like aeyungg xd said use soap and drink a lot of water and healthy things.

the best advice i can give you is to go see a dermatologist. they'll prescribe something for you that'll be perfect for your skin type. i tried lots of products before i went to go see a dermatologist (even pro active) and nothing worked for me. but the doctor prescribed me something and it works really really well.

vitamin A is the key
and stay away from oily/greasy foods. chocolate doesnt help either..

same here
i ahve tried proactive and 4 diferent types of face cleanser
and when i went to my doctor last week for a checkup on this infection i had, she recommended bioclear for my acne

well i dont get pimples that much (thank goodness!) well i eat whatever i want but i heard that wen u eat chocolate too much u`ll break out?

^^ yea ive heard tht before 2 about choco, my mom said it wasnt true but ya nvr kno

i use noxzema [spelling ¿] n it works pretty well for me... dunno, just keep washin ur face evryy day -

There are several things you could possibly do. See a dermatologist or let nature take it's course. I preferred the dermatologist haha. Because nature was taking too damn long.

Naw that isn't true. I would be covered in them.



Hehe, sometimes I do that and it really does work. It tingles a lot.

I use Neutrogena and a moisturizer. That is all I need.

is proactive effective???
i can't find proactive where i live....
i did try mario badescu and it worked quite well for larger pimples...
but recently i have breakouts seriously and i have to go to a doctor......
neway going to a dermatologist is da best solution......

wash your face
eat healthy foods
and...don't let your face get oily?
