Well, I have moderate acne on my face, back and chest, and I went to the dermatologist for it. She gave me a prescription, which worked for awhile, but then all of a sudden the zits attacked my face again. I asked my mom to take me back, but she told me "We'll go soon... it's just that we have bills to pay..."
My parents aren't willing to go through trillions of different products to see which ones work (I think that they don't think acne's that big of a deal, and with my stubborn skin, I'll probably be going through that many products), and I have no way of getting to a store to buy stuff (no allowance, no job, and I'm too young to drive). I want to treat my acne NOW; I don't want to wait till the next dermatologist appointment (which will probably be in the next year if I'm lucky). So, I guess what I'm saying is, how can I convince my parents that I want to try to treat this NOW (without nagging them to death/being annoying)? I think I made sense. I hope I did. :P Thanks! |

QUOTE(ItzOnlySydney @ Jun 8 2005, 10:58 AM) yea lol i think it's the flouride but i am not exactly sure lol Heh...I love CosmoGirl and someone asked if toothpaste worked on zits, acne etc. IT DOES NOT WORK. There is no ingredient in there that helps to treat or prevent acne but it does leave you with a minty tingling feeling. Lol, I tried it when my cousin swore that it worked but a few years later, I read it in an article. But I have zits out of no where every now and then and I'm a cheap person. And broke for that matter. Apparently acne kinda runs in the family so my younger sister has a much worse case of acne than me so my parents ordered Proactive for her (which I tried and didn't work for me..). I've always used Clearasil and oh my goodness I LOVE THAT STUFF. It's only at most $10. I use it every night to keep those nasty zits at pay and VOILA! Clearer skin
