Take accutane if you have severe acne… especially cystic acne… it’s the only thing that worked for me…. and yeah don’t pick at your acne because I have scars now…

I need help…

I’m a college freshman and all the girls I know have grown out of their acne stage, I however still look like I’m 16 and have acne… I have to perform on stage and i wash my face every night, and i don’t mind the occasional zit, (it’ll happen) but my scars on my face are embarrassing, I would like for suggestions to regrow skin that will make me feel pretty again

I swear by a product called Witch Hazel!!! You can even buy it at walmart for about 3-4 dollars. It is a god send. If you have never used it then you really should try it, and its also good for soooo many other things!!! Like cold sores and genital herpes…If you have an outbreak then apply witch hazel to it very often and it does something special to the virus & you most likely wont get another one again or if you do it will be less severe and as time goes by and you age the outbreaks get less and less (I researched that over 80% of people have the cold sore virus..it’s actually a form of the herpes virus..but you can get it just from using utensils or glasses at a restaurant or from touching a surface that someone else touched that had the virus…so what I’m saying is that the cold sore virus is so very common and most people have the virus but don’t even know it because they have not had an outbreak.)
Anyways, Witch Hazel is a little like rubbing alcohol but it does not over-dry the skin like alcohol does. It is awesome for pimples I swear! When I use it the redness and swelling begin to shrink almost before my eyes!!! Here is what I do: First wash face well using a natural bar soap containing Glycerin..Next-Apply alot of witch Hazel to whole face using a cotton ball and apply more to zits. Sometimes I even pour a little witch hazel in my palms and kinda splash/rub it onto my face, then I let it air dry and then I apply pure aloe vera gel to my whole face. (If you can get a live plant it is the best for is tworks great, and on burns too…also for healing as well so helps with scarring). This helps me tremendously. Don’t wash your face too much because it can lead to over-drying of your skin which then causes skin to over-produce oil…see the cycle there…Anyway I hope this helps! Now if only I could find the miracle cure for my old acne scars from before I found witch hazel but the aloe vera gel does work well for healing…but the best cure for an scar from picking a pimple I think is to just not pick it…which is hard for me to do sometimes because it feels so good in a way…:(…but I would much rather have smooth,soft & blemish-free radiant skin!

I used to have chronic cystical acne…like it was acne that would start out as knots under my skin…I went to see a doctor and he told me antibiotics work and will probably be the only thing that could work for me and when I planned to go to my next appointment to get the meds things came up which forced me not able to go and then shortly after i moved. When i moved i met this girl who had scars on her face i could tell it was from acne so i asked her “how is your skin so clear” and she told me about this medication you can get at walmart.Its called Natures Cure. Its about 8$ a box and it comes with a 30 day supply of pills that you take one in the morning and one in the evening and a tube of cream to put on aswell. Theres 2 kinds one for women and men. Days after i bought it and began to use it my acne was almost gone….it was truely a miracle worker.

Before then i had acne from 7th grade till the end of my freshmen year. Like others ive tried it all proactive and all that did was make my skin waaaay worse and red. Acne free andything you can think of i for sure have bought and used.
Hope anyone with the same problems buy it and get the same results!

DO NOT PICK YOUR PIMPLES!!! although it seems as if your helping, or its a habit of yours, dont do it! i made that mistake and now, even though my acne is gone from accutane (i reccomend it) i still have scars from picking and popping. dont do it, take it from a girl who had acne for 4 years!

To anyone suffering from acne, I recommend roacutane strongly. There has been a lot of bad press about the drug and the side effects sound horrific but i was on the medication for 6 months and it completely cleared my skin with occassional dry skin being the worst side effect. 100% worth it and you will feel so much happier.

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!!!
