Hey, i need some help! I have some acne on my forhead and a little bit less on my cheeks and some on my nose! I've tried about everything! And clearasil and clean 'n' clear are one of the most that are the worst! What could help me?
chunkychula answered Thursday August 25 2005, 10:38 pm: Well, i have the same problem but what I do is that every day and night I wash my face with dove(it's a type of soap). My cousin also has the same problem but she uses proactive. You could try these suggestions but telling you from experience they really work.

if you like to know more about this, i suggest that you go to see your doctor about it. [ MiZzY's advice column | Ask MiZzY A Question ]

I've never actually tried it, but i've heard that they're amazing, probably the best spot treatment out there. they're like VERY hard to find, i'm not even sure if they still sell it anymore..
oh yeah, and i know someone told you that you should stay away from chocolate.. but that's totally not true. dermatologists and doctors have proven that what you eat doesnt affect your acne. hell, i eat chocolate like everyday and i'm fine.
TheOldOne answered Thursday August 25 2005, 8:49 am: You might try reducing or eliminating chocolate from your diet, if you eat chocolate, along with excess sugar and fats.
If acne-fighting products don't help, it's often a good idea to go back to the basics; wash your face in the morning and evening with warm water and Ivory soap.
But there are limits to what you can do. Acne is part of the maturation process; there are a lot of hormones going through your system (I'm assuming that you're a teen), and acne is just one side-effect of all those changes. It should go away with time.
If the acne is REALLY severe - for example, if it's scarring your face - then you should see your doctor. She or he may be able to prescribe something that will help.
