acne
15/f
i have somewhat a lot of acne. on my face i get like 10 really large pimples. then i have a ton on my chest, back and shoulders. i play a really competetive sport if that is the problem. but i was wondering if anyone had any solutions? right now im washing my body and face with regular body wash and face wash. then i clean the acne with oxy wipes and then use a cream by oxy. it helps but it takes a really long time for the acne to fully go away. anyone have any reccomendations that actually help and make it faster to go away?? thank you!!!

If you see a dermatologist, he may put you on an antibiotic to battle the acne from the inside, out. A lot of times it is something called cistic acne, which is where the pimple forms under the skin and slowly raises almost to the point of a knot on your skin. In the shower, wash your hair first thing. This helps because a lot of times the dirt & oils from your hair can cause back acne. Use a body scrub which will exfoliate. You can try Proactiv, which really does work, or if you're on a budget, try Neutrogena. Apply a cream with salicylic acid to your face, chest, back and any other affected areas, after washing. And as someone said before me, warm water in the shower and washing your face, will help to open up your pores. Keep me posted and let me know how you're doing. But keep in mind, unfortunately most of these take many weeks, as many as 8, to start working. So you have to be patient!

there are several things to try.. like pro active, benza clin, clearasil, etc. DO NOT use mary kay face wash, every person i have asked (along with myself) had one or two pimples, which then went x10 after using that for a week. many of the pimples should be picked (ya its gross, but would you rather have that on your finger for two seconds or in your back until it makes a gigantic hole) there's a zit picker which is a little metal stick thing with a small hole at one end and a bit bigger at the other, it works ALOT better than fingers for most zits. after you pick zits, you must wash your face with something. if you dont have time to wash, put purel all over it (yes that actually works!) when you wash, wash with warm water, and rinse with cold water. (warm opens up the pours so you can scrub crap out, and cold closes them back up) also, at night it works to put an ice pack on your face. also, your brain is a magnificant thing, you can will many things away, its a VERY hard and long process, but you could try willing your acne away. convince your mind that this abomination is leaving your body. sadly most people dont realize what our minds can do. that process is also known as the placebo affect. but... if you want a medication for it ask your dermatologist because he's an expert. most teens are put on solodyn or tetracyline, so ask if those are best for you.
Hope this helps!

some of my friends have the same problem
and nothing was helping them
so they went to the acne doctor (idk how to spell it but it starts with a D haha.)
and he gave them special medicine and pills
so if nothing seems to work
you can ask someone to take you to the doctor and they can perscribe you something (:
