Okay, so here's the problem. For the past .. 4 months I've been some - what battling acne. I started using Pro-Activ and it worked. Took away some of the dark spots I had. I still had little acne on the chin, so my doctor perscribed something stronger, which I'm using now.

I have a tendency to pick pimples, so of course I picked the one I had and now there's a mark, like I fell and hurt myself or something. I want it to go away, I know it's not going to happen over night.. But what would help in getting rid of it?

I also have acne on my back pinch.gif Any suggestions?

well when you pick pimples...normally a nasty scab appears and leaves a scar. theres nothing much you can do about that =[...i've been there before though. i'm a pimple popper myself.

all you can do, is use what you doctor prescribes you.
i read in a magazine, for the back acne you just use your face wash and use it on your bakc while your in the shower.


also...make sure your washing your face twice a day, and look for sylicic (sp?) acid in your face wash.

a really good brand w/ sylicic acid is St Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub, its for "oily or acne prone skin"...but you shouldent wash your face twice a day using face scrub for both times..at night, use whatever scrub you normally use, but in the morning, splash on warn water or milk,...its better for you rskin, cuz you dont want to OVERcleanse... that can make breakouts more frequent i think...
