How do you get rid of acne scars?
I can't tell between acne and a scar.
My acne is sometimes just red without a bump.
So I think it's a scar until weeks later.. when I see a whitehead.
I need help.
I have been trying to get rid of this acne on the side of my chin/cheek. It's been there for years. It's not scars because they get white heads.. but the pimple/bump itself never goes away. i have red bumps all over the side of my cheeks.
Acne washes, etc don't work. I have a wash from the pharmacy but its making my acne worse and it stands out

I really think that you should go to a dermatologist. Ask the dermatologist what he/she can do for you, and tell him that what you received from the pharmacy made your acne worse. Tell him or her that you would like a product that reduces the appearance of acne but is also for sensitive skin.
If the dermatologist still gives you a acne wash you do not like, go to a Health Food store and buy a natural acne wash. Also, it is really important that you increase your Vitamin E intake, usually though once-a-day capsules.
Certain acne washes are for different skin, and you may just have very sensitive skin and you may be using the wrong products.
However, I strongly urge you to see a dermatologist. They are experts in skin care and can help you. They have all received 8 years plus in education and training.
Good Luck and any more questions feel free to ask me!

Facials take out the buttons and the dirt and stuff that cause them and it kinda burst it..so would suggest a facial. [ jammy12's advice column | Ask jammy12 A Question ]
