Acne, The Bane Of Adolescence. Why we hate it. How we fix it. - General

I've gone all throughout highschool pretty much without acne, and just now, the sides of my face are beginning to suffer and it's driving me nuts. What do you people do to avoid getting acne on your face? I also find shaving bumps to be a real pain in the ass, as well as ingrown hairs. I'm sure the facepunch majority can agree, Acne is fucking awful, and is the source of much anxiety and unhappiness about people's image of themselves. So I ask the people of facepunch, what do you do about your acne? Its pretty much proven that acne is from a variety of things, not just 'eating greasy food', as we were all brought up to believe. I've also been told that the best way to get rid of it is to 'not touch it', but I find that very hard to do when I wake up in the morning, look in the mirror to see mount Vesuvius awaiting to be erupted.

Fuck you, I love acnes. [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] It feels even better when you pop them with your nails. Brrrwwhhh :buddy:

[QUOTE=Bacteria;25806175]Fuck you, I love acnes. [/QUOTE] I think you're part of a small minority. I fucking hate acne.

Pretty much spells out what treatment to use in wikipedia, everything else not cleaning pours is garbage

Never had hard acne, now most of it is gone and the rest stays unremarkable.

I found this stuff at wallmart that is working better then that commercial brand stuff

I shouldn't say I have it bad.. I've just got zits on my face I'm not really used to having.

Oxytetracyline helps. Also sudocrem.

I take a pill. Acutane. Works like a charm, but my lips are so dry that I open my mouth and it pretty much rips my mouth open.

Never had acne, just a small group of pimples from time to time

I never had such a big problem about it but recently it has been worse. I visited a doctor and he gave me some pills and lotions. Feels all nice and good.

Acne ! like the looney toons? right?

I used to have lots of acne. Then I went to the dermatologist, and I took some pills and used lotions for a while, now I stop taking the pills and now I just clean it daily, and apply the lotions. I'm acne free now.

[QUOTE=Water Bear;25806436]Acne ! like the looney toons? right?[/QUOTE] That's Acme. I'm not rating you funny, you aren't.

sandpaper, only solution

Every single male in my family, dating back to the 1860's never had any acne during adolescence. Im not sure if it's genetics or just a crazy fucking coincidence.

I rubbed bengay on my balls and my acne is gone.

I try to wash my face with hot water every morning/night, it doesn't stop all acne from coming through, but it prevents the majority of it. I also use face-soap everytime I have a bath, which tends to help. c: Though the spots I get probably aren't as bad as most so I'm not sure if that'll help...

I'm almost 15, and I've never had a spot or acne, I'm skinny, and I eat so unhealthy.

Bursting acne spots is like blowing a load from a different angle and I love it.

Fresh towel on your pillow every night helps it a bit

Electrical sander. Some people will get the joke.

I don't have a lot of it on my face but my back is like FULL OF IT

I have a tiny bit around my mouth. Don't touch it and wash your face every so often. I find a hard exfolient followed by a moisturizer helps a lot. Oh and my back is full of it too, but it's taken a backseat until my face acne goes away.

Wash.

[QUOTE=Pandemix;25806693]I'm almost 15, and I've never had a spot or acne, I'm skinny, and I eat so unhealthy.[/QUOTE] Trust me, you will eventually get acne.

Wash your face everyday and stop jacking your willy every minute of the hour.
