I had pretty moderate acne as a teen, I had very oily skin, the only thing i found that helped and basically deminished it is Lever 300 (the green one with ALOE) and hibiclense I use the lever every day a few times a day when my skin feels slightly oily and the hibiclense when i have a breakout (around my period) Both have worked so well!!!!!!!!!!! I love lever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I had acne since I was about 13. Tried antibiotics and topical creams/gels, you name it. Not awful acne, but annoying nonetheless.

Finally, about 6 months ago, I consulted a dermatologist, who put me on DUAC gel. My spots are totally gone, have been for a few months now. I recommend it!

I started proactive again, just to see how it would go this time. Suprisingly, it is helping a lot. I have very severe acne. It has started drying out the bumps and my skin is really dry right now. I have some eucerin lotion for facial skin that is helping the dry skin... lol the proactive plus the lotion seems to be working. Everyone, make you guys are using Non-comadegenic-lotions and makeups. I hope that spelling is right. It does not clog your pores.

In 1978, as a teen, I was fighting acne. I found instant relief with a certain oatmeal soap - and used it exclusively until 1995 - when Johnson and Johnson grabbed up the small company (Aveeno) and changed that soap for the worse.Yuck. I won't touch that product again. Needless to say, I was bummed and bumpy and itchy again for the last 13 years - but just found the remedy. My skin is finally healing! Just take some organic oatmeal, stick it in a coffee grinder until fine. Soak in a bath, then spread an oatmeal paste over the afflicted areas. Use a loofah with the paste to exfoliate, rinse. Use peroxide on remaining stubborn healing pimples. I swear....I haven't been this happy in 13 long years. My skin is soft and clean feeling, even my boyfriend is amazed.
Try it. Forget soap and promises from bogus products.

You need a prescription in order to obtain Accutane. Your doctor will need to monitor your health throughout your treatment, which will last about 6 months. Accutane is a serious drug that can come with some serious side effects.

Your liver will be tested before, during and after treatment and if you are female you will be required to be on two forms of birth control. This is due to the high potential of birth deformities or death to your baby.

It's Powerful medicine and helped me a lot. Accutane improved my complexion by about 60%. My experience wasn't 100% positive..


You too will get control of your acne !

Good luck

Hiya, please help
I have just bust through some layers of skin on my cheek, i have had lumps there for years, you could see the yellow puss under the skin, i have emptied it out but theres like a thread of something pertruding. When i done this on the other side of the face, the puss emptied it took a few days an cleared up ok, it hasn't come back. But this time i'm worried about pulling at it, what is it connected to?

Hi,

Enfys you need to see a Dermatologist. As tempting as it can be DO NOT PULL or BUST anything on your face. You run the risk of infection and scarring. Your Dermatologist will have the proper sterile equipment to do what is necessary.

Everything will be OK, but your must see a Dermatologist.


Good luck,

The best way to prevent acne its to wash everyday the part that its affected. Go to a doctor and be really careful with your skin. Dont get sunburn because the overexposure to the sun will affect more your skin. Acne its a common disease, it will disappear with the time.

doctors medicine and dermatologists never helped me. the only thing that gives me clear skin is a shot of aloe vera juice in the morning and a fish oil and evening primrose oil tablet in the afternoon plus a few pints of water a day. also "101e" is brilliant

Really effective article.....

this is "acne"

the best way can prevent acne its wash everyday that its affected of your part.
