Fastest way to get rid of acne?

[Kirad]

A while ago my acne didn't really act up much, now I have pimples all on my face. Is there a fast way to get rid of acne?

[url]www.acne.org[/url] is the best resource for help

Speaking personally, you sort of have two options:

* Grab the bezoyl peroxide off acne.org (its scent free and clear to apply), works pretty well, its 'over the counter' and safe

* OR; speak to a dermatologist and see if you can be put on roaccutane. It's a pretty harsh drug, and you will have side effects (dry skin, mood swings, chapped lips, depression, ...) but after 3-12 months you should hopefully be close to 100% clear. You may need further doses 6/12/18/24 months later zero or more times.

Thanks guys, but I remember seeing a thread or a post about using alcohol and something else. Anyone got an idea?

[streeter]

Kirad; let me re-iterate checking out that acne.org website, its got a fantastic amount of information.

EDIT: Not sure about alcohol; but if you were to put it on your face (???) it may be acting as a germ killer, thats what Benzoyl peroxide does.

I'm checking it out right now actually.

Sandpaper your face.

I take roaccutane, and it works amazingly, but it's a difficult process to get a prescription.

I got prescribed roaccutane last week. I've noticed a huge difference already, although it's not supposed to do much for the first week.
I was on Benzonyl Peroxide before that, and that didn't really work that well.

I can't find the thread about the person who sandpapered his face... was it deleted?

I don't understand why anyone would use such a dangerous drug to cure something as minor as acne.

Scroll down to 'Adverse Effects' (side effects).

Which is why you need to see a dermatologist, and you've normally got to go through other treatment first, at least in the UK.
Roaccutane isn't chucked around at every case.

Wash your face every once and a while. Also I read somewhere about sleeping with a fresh towel on your pillow every night.

Go to your doctor, he/she will give you what you need. I had moderate acne, after a month of prescription it's pretty much gone
