What To Do About These Pimples?!?!
All of a sudden, I started getting a lot of acne this month. I usually get about one or two pimples before I get my period (age 15). My doctor had perscribed me Benza Clin a while ago and I would use it on those pimples that I would get. They would sometimes stay for a few days then disappear but now they don't and I just keep getting more! Should I go back to using my Neutrogena Cleanser and Toner at night? The toner used to make my skin dry so maybe I should follow it up with lotion. Would the original Neutrogena Hand Cream Norwegian Formula work well for my face? Will it produce more acne? Also, just another curious question, what really causes acne? Something I eat? Stress? Please give adive ASAP so I can know what to do about these pimples!!! <3

i would use the stuff your doctor perscribed you because they are more experienced and know what they are perscribing you.
the main thing causing acne is dirt and bacteria. so make sure you wash your face 2 times a day. when you wake up and when you go to sleep. use a face wash thats specially made for acne because it has acne medicine inside the wash.
if the toner made your skin dry, use a lotion. but use a lotion thats made for acne skin because like i said, its made for acne and has medicine in it. I use Aveeno Clean Complexion. its really wonderful and leaves my skin soft and smooth and has acne medicine inside of it to treat them and prevent them
i wouldn't use the norwegian hand cream you mentioned, because its for your hands.. not for acne. i'm studying chemistry and let me tell you this- hand creams and face creams are 2 totally different things. yeah they are both creams but they have different ingredients inside of them. face creams have ingredients in them that will prevent acne, but hand creams dont have those ingredients.
food and stress have a slight impact on your acne. its a factor but its not the main one.
also another tip, don't over apply. like dont wash your face too much. dont apply too much medicine. that will end up making things worse. dont expect to see results in a few days either. it will take time to heal. DONT POP THEM. they cause scars and look really ugly.
if you want them to clear up, you really need to pay attention to it. no slacking off. for example, if you wash your face in the morning, dont think "oh i already washed my face this morning so i dont need to wash it at night" WRONG. dont slack off or procrastinate. you have to keep the same schedule and pay attention to what works and what doesnt.

some people believe that by washing your face more often you'll help getting rid of the acne...this is WRONG also creamy soaps will produce MORE acne, food can be a cause of acne when you eat oily stuff things like avocado , nuts etc you should try to avoid when going through a bad acne phase, id recommend getting dalacin C at a pharmacy, my dermathologist prescribed me that and its the best ive ever tried, all the products sold at stores like walmart target etc don't really work for me if anything they made my acne worse! so try some real medication, also taking tetracyclin (sorry if its not well spelled im not american)
my doctor and my dad who is also a doctor prescribed me tetracyclin one example of medication containing tetracycline is "tetrex" by taking this pill and getting tetracycline to your body you will get rid of acne so fast trust me..
i will put it this way...have you notice that when you are taking antibiotics (like certain medicines when you're sick) your skin doesnt get as many pimple as you usually do ? or some of them will start going away? this is because of the medication.
tetracycline combined with dalacin cream will help you get rid of pimples really fast! trust me ! i dont know in your country but i think you need a prescription for medication containing tetracyclines so go with your doctor and tell him about your problem, and suggest that you've heard tetracycline helps getting rid of pimples so in case he doesnt prescribe it then he will :) good luck!
