i had back acne and i worked really on getting rid of itand know that it is gone i can see the scars from all the times i itched it. so help me

I’m only 16 but i have had acne for like 3 years now and it stresses me soo much…. it’s difficult to explain, so i started taking “Oxytetracycline” Tablets (250mg) since i got them perscribed from my doctor and i take Two Twice a Day (so 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening) & you know what? I think they actually work (they take 2 months or more) but the only problem is the fact that i used to pop my spots and play with them so now i have like dark scars or something and im scared that they will not go away. I seriously suggest that as stupid as this might sound: if you can you should take a holiday to a hot country by the beach because salty water & sun are REALLY REALLY good for the acne and im not kidding but then again 2or 3 days are not going to make that much difference.

Try Brenese facial rejuvenating cream. My sister had a bad case of acne scars. Her skin is sensitive and any product with chemicals just made it worse. She tried the cream and after two weeks she could not believe how good her skin felt. No scars and younger. I do not have any scars but I now use the cream because it give me a young healthy complection without the chemicals.

Try La Mer, it made my red and brown scars disappear in two weeks. Considering the money i spent on visits to the derma and other useless face products, i find that its well worth it. And its the only product that performs what it preaches.

If no one has tried this method yet, i encourage it since it helped me with my scenario. Try swimming in a pool with chlorine in it, chlorine will destroy the bacteria on your face and clear it up - as it did for me…however after not swimming for awhile my acne started to come back…so when that happens just stay clear from your face (not to touch) and use a cream from you doctor if you can, as well as drink water. good luck!

I need treatment for boxcar and hypertropic scaring… Any help for medications people?

Does anyone have any tips on how to help ice pick scars? Mine is the same colour as my skin tone, which makes it harder to get rid of etc. amd it is fustrating! I have treid things like rose oil, which atm, after weeks of using hasnt made the slkightest diff. People say il never get rid lof them, and tht theyre there for life.Anyone got any tips?

I am 26 years old and I have had acne since I was 15. I have tried everything from Murad, Proactive, Acne Free, antibiotics, topical creams let me tell you…..I just recently ordered that Skin ID that you see on TV and I have only been using it for a couple of weeks but let me tell you…praise the Lord because I have noticed a big difference. It did make me break out first but the acne is clearing up and my pores are shrinking! As for scars….well I am still searching for a remedy for that……

hey….i have the same problem as scars but the quickest way to get rid of them is by dapping ur face with ice cubes everyday and applying lime juice on scars.But remember dunt rub d lime juice all over ur face as it dries up ur skin…

I have had acne for years. Even since I was in probably grade 7 and I am now in fourth year University. I have been trying new things all the time (while still allowing time for each treatment to make sure that it really works or not). This is the first year I have seen positive results in my skin.

I do have tips on what worked for me, but you must remember that everyone is different and the cause of acne is different depending on your lifestyle and chemical makeup in your body.

The most important thing I can ever tell you is DO NOT PICK AT YOUR SKIN WHATEVER YOU DO! DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE!!!! I cannot stress that enough! I now have clear skin but have a lot of scars on my face and wish that i could turn back time and never pick at my skin. Not only does picking lead to scars, but it also makes your acne worse!

These are the products that I use that you may want to try out (note that I do have a dermatologist so talk to them first)
- Clindoxyl gel (I use it every night and it is effective and does not dry out your skin)

- Clindets (These are individually wrapped towelettes that are AMAZING for back-acne (or backne) I STRONGLY recommend this. I used it every morning and night at first, and as I started to see results I began using it only at night

- Doxycycline (a pill taken once or twice a day. It takes a few months to work when you first begin using, so give it time. It also makes you extremely photosensitive so be sure to stay out of the sun when using)

- Brewers Yeast (pills that you can find at a health food store. It is a blood cleanser and is good for people who think that it is their chemical makeup that affects their skin. I take 2 in the morning and night)

- Bare Minerals Makeup (you can find this at Sephora, some drugstores, and online. It is 100% mineral makeup so that you don’t clog your pores during the day)

- Gisel (www.mygisele.com I use the Lavender cleanser and Peppermint Skin clarifier. They are all natural and wont dry out your skin)

I know this is a lot of products to use but this is what works for me. It is definitely worth a try. Talk to your dermatologist about the Clindoxyl, Clindets, and Doxycycline and the other products you do not need a prescription for.

GOOD LUCK! I know how awful it can feel to go through having acne but just stay positive and keep looking for solutions!

i wonder how u get rid of acne because mine are still on my face and how to get rid of blackheads.

oh hi again!!
just to let u guys know that i’ve been to some weird research about different types of acne scars and how to treat them, turns out to be that it works for some but IT DOESNT ACTUALLY OR COMPLETELY REMOVE UR SCARS! all it does is to minimize it or appear it to be the same colour of ur skin. just giving u the highlights. but people, dont go extreme measures just to get rid of scars, i know how u guys feel of hving this cuz i hv it and it sucks! but mine is slowy vanishing and im no putting any scar cream! but this will take a long period of time! and i cant be patient! i hv, i THINK i hv ‘HYPERTROPHIC SCARS’. lolx. i wish the scientis or doctors would come out a CURE for completely vanishing this scars!!! and i mean comppletely!!!

hi hi again!!!
ever since i use clearasil for my acne, it is slowy removing my big, deep pimple. but now it seems to be risng up closer to the surface of my skin. u know, deep pimples means that they’re deeper in ur skin and closer t ur veins. hving this kind of pimple can hurt reall bad and its imposible to pop it out. mediction is only the way. as i was saying, using ‘clearasil’ for abt a week for this pimple of mine is showing god results. nw, my pimple is quite a little bit close to the surface and this morning i press it and some oil came out but not the ’seed’. in acne there’s always a ’seed’ and its while in colour. must take it out cuz this ’seed’ is like a plant!! it keeps growing in different areas. belive me, i kknow. well TTFN!

its me again i almost for got to mention another thing that helped me a lot with a scar and i need to use it again but i just had forgotten vitamin E is great for scars well for me it worked great one time when i went to the doctor he recommended it an i saw results fast maybe you should try it… it worked for me and helped with other bad scars that i had for years and there gone…ok this is what you do you just buy the caplets of vitamin E at wal-mart or a drug store. the vitamin is inside the pill make a hole in it an apply to scars over night an use it every nigh till they fade away and hopefully it will work for u it did for me!!!! good luck hope i helped some one!!!

hey everyone, i have had acne for a long time now and its hard to get rid of it!!! Ive tried lots of things an only one worked it called axepsia its Mexican brand for acne and it works great!!! an there’s all kings of things that they sell for it too like pills, creams and even makeup. but now i have many scars and i still break out because i haven’t had the chance to go to Mexico to buy more…. another thing that helps get rid of the redness is a cream i use called avita it works great i only use it once in a while and it really works. my scars r bad!! anyone know how to get rid of them?

Hey everyone! Well in the past 3 years or so, I have had acne worse than ever. I have always gotten pimples but something happened and in the past 2 or 3 years my face just will not stop breaking out. I have tried EVERYTHING over the counter. Ive tried Differin cream, Proactive, erythromycin gel, home remedies(Lemon juice, garlic, olive oil!!). None of these helped very much. Well, a couple weeks ago I went to Belk’s and bought the CLINIQUE acne solutions kit and the exfoliating cream. I used it and I swear it totally cleared my face up like nothing else. I was surprised how well it worked. It was about 32 dollars for everything. I know everyones skin is diffrent, but if u have not tried it maybe you should think about it!! It could work for you!! You never know….

hi again!
ok, my way of getting rid of acne does work for me but i hv no idea on u guys!.i love to help people who is hving a major case of acne and scars and really need S.O.S! well, wat i do is for hving acne is that i use ‘clearasil’. clearasil has soem strong substances in it which prevents acne. on the label, it says u must test it on ur elbw before use cuz some poeple r highy sensitive to this. and u must also wash ur hands after use. before me hving to use clearasil, i used to use ‘Oxy 5′. i dont knwo whether some of u hv heard of it but it did helped for me but no effectively. but when i start using clearasil, well….it really did help wit my acne. on that time, i had a small but noticeable pimples on my nose!!! but when i use clearasil on it, BOY! did i vanised away about 3-4 days!!! and theres NOT one single SCAR on it.now, for geting rid of scars ir that i leave my scars alone and i never use pimple mediction on it, trust me it doesnt work. instead, this is goign to sound crazy but i use wound-healing cream on it and after soem time it slowy dissapers. like i said, i dont know whether it works on U! but those of u who r hving Hydrotrophc scars then read this or try if u want. Oh! remeeber to drink lots of water!!! im 14 this year turning 15 next year and i really want to hv CLEAR SKIN. im sure everybody does. look at the celebs, they sure got nice skin, dont they? AND i’ve forgoten to let u know that i wash my face twice a day. i use Nuetrogena and i dont think its helping me at all. but u should put wash ur face 2 a day. if ur face secretes oil faster then wash it off!! dotn leave it until night or day. just wash it away! this gives a hgih chance of *unwanted-visitors* to visit. and u dotn want that! well thats all yall! TTFN and good luck

Dear to all,
Hi everyone. i been reading through this comments about people hving acne and scars. well, i hv them too but i dont hv a bad case of acne, though. actually, i hv rather few pimples like 3-4 but mainly i hv scars after they r popped out. when i read the Seventeen magazine on this, they said u should never TOUCH ur pimples and DRINK lotss of WATER everyday. they say that by touching ur pimples wit ur fingers can cause bacteria to come and infect ur pimples causing it to leave ugly scars! Man! now i know wats causing this damn scars to show up. and i really hate hving them! anyway, some of my scars seem to be much lighter than before. when i went to check wat kind of scars i hv, apparently i hv HYDROTORPHIC SCARS. and YES, they usually go away depending how big or how small they(scars) r. i hv small or medium size scars which go away over some time. but hey, try using ‘Clearasil’ but using this can ONLY prevent PIMPLES and NOT SCARS. scars r not pimles. Clearasil really helped me! in about a week my acne cleard leaving behind ANY SCARS!!! i was happy. and ur still wondering why i hv scars?? well, to tell ya the truth, i hv a BAD HABIT or popping and scartching my acne. im trying to stop this bad habit and i know i can!!!

I had really bad acne in middle school and I took a yellow pill called ACCUTANE!! This was the best investment for me!! I am a junior in college now, and I rarely have any break outs– only the occasional blemishes when I’m on my period. Seriously, try it.. it was the last resort after spending so much money on creams and gels but I wish I had known about it sooner. I still have a little bit of scarring though, any advice?

Hi all,
Please do yourselves a favor and leave out the drugs when it comes to acne “cures” and everything else because it will just bite you in the ass down the road. I am on an all natural diet and lifestyle and this is the best route for long term acne clearing. What we all need to do is just cut out the unhealthy foods: sugar, dairy (have you seen the living conditions of the cows, and ever thought about how many dairy products are produced in these environments? Most people and very sensitive and dont even realize it), gluten, and nasty oils such as canola and vegetable. This combined with some exercise, lots of water and reducing stress will give you long term success. Did you know that taking medication increases your chances of developing skin problems in the future because they actually tend to cause some acne and it can take many many years to completely clear antibiotics out of your system? I have learnt alot lately about all these harsh things we do to our body and it is no wonder we have these problems. Good luck all and remember that lifestyle change will make the biggest difference with your body’s issues.
