I've grown out of acne now. Took me a while though.

Its not too bad on my face, cleared up a lot the last few weeks, though it is pretty bad on my back, and it's not like normal ones, there are like impossible to do anything about under the skin ones. Horrible stuff.
[QUOTE=Citheros;15002237]Really? Here's the places I'm getting them. Entire face Directly beside my eyes - extremely hard to kill without damaging eyes Back Shoulders Upper chest Earlobes Ears Underside of chin[/QUOTE] that's even worse than me...though my back is a total dick
it sucks because like, i use sum epic doctor prescribed things, a cream and a pat on liquid
[QUOTE=Javascript;15004411]none because I take care of myself[/QUOTE] that's not how it works you sarcastic twat
stop picking at them.
I use benzymycin and adapalene (both gels). They are both prescription drugs in the U.S. Usually takes out all of inflamed acne and blackheads, doesn't really help my whiteheads. I'm thinking of going to a dermatologist to get a different regime, since the one I'm using now burns and gives me dermatitis in a spot occasionally.
I like spotty faces. They remind me of that time I stung my neighbor's face with bees while keeping him tied up on the floor. Good times.
you're fault for getting those bad genes... what also wash your face... a lot.

[QUOTE=Starked;15002438]When I was younger, I had severe acne. It often made me pretty self concious to go out with friends, I felt pretty shitty about myself. I tried every type of cream/tablet there was to clear it up, nothing worked. Each attempt at a new substance, my hopes would be crushed. I used to panic that I'd get big gaps/holes in my face from the scarring. This is a picture of my cheek; [IMG]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m89/dean_cook91/acne.jpg[/IMG] So, yeh, I was extremely down alot of the time. I then went to the doctors and over a course of 5-6 months he tried me out on various different tablets to no avail. Then I was sent to hospital, to see what they could do. They then decided to put me on some extra strong tablet. It basically dried up all my skin. My lips were in a state, chapped, bloody. My eyelids were all crusty. The tablet sucked. Hell, it even made my balls really dry. They sucked dick. But 7 months later, they were gone. It killed all of them. All the acne on my body was depleted. Since then, none have ever grown back, only the occasional little tiny, unnoticeable one. Today; [IMG]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m89/dean_cook91/cheekclean.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I'm assuming you're talking about accutane. If so you really got the shit end of the stick because I'm taking it now and the only side effects I've got are dry lips and the occasional nosebleed (only like once a month or something)
It depends on the person that gets acne. I showered every day and even twice a day if I had practice, also I took three pills a day , washed my face with salcylic acid and then benzoyl peroxide twice a day for three years constant ever since I got my acne for the first time. Nothing worked until the couple last weeks where most my acne started disappearing for some reason. It turns out its genetics. Both my parents had bad acne until 18-19 years old then around that age it disappeared for both of them. I just hope it's the same for me. People who say wash your face really piss me off like no other cause I'm a very clean person and I hate it when others think that I'm dirty.
Sunlight is an amazing acne cure, get a tan.
I think I'm going insane. I see spots all over my face and they're telling me things about evolution and one of them keeps reading verses from the bible and having debates over creationism and evolution.

Either way, the horrible side effects were worth the outcome. I now have 100% clear skin. :)
[QUOTE=RedBeret;15008260]Sunlight is an amazing acne cure, get a tan.[/QUOTE] Sunlight for tan required hours+ certain types and form of prescription acne medicine=possible increased risk in getting cancer, along with the already present risk just from the tan. Sunlight helps, but getting a tan will not. When I got acne I read up on many articles, medicines, pills, etc. From what my dermatologist told me and I figured out over the years, if you've used numerous amounts of medicines, creams, scrubs, soaps and so on, then it's best to just stick with a prescription of pills like doxycycline, take two a day, use a face cleanser twice a day, a moisturizer 1-2 times a day, and a medicine like Rosula or a Benzoyl Peroxide *dependent on your allergies which you should talk to your dermatologist about* thin layer application over the face at night, and just let genetics do its thing. Acne, whiteheads, blackheads, do not require THAT much work to make disappear, and if it does then it's most likely over-productive sebum glands causing it, or eating habits, health, stress, and so on.
You guys got some nasty shit on your face's

I also wash my face like 3 times a day.. Been doing this for a very long time, and it isn't working. At all.
How has nobody mentioned Acutane yet. It's brutal, takes about six months and makes you terribly dry, but you will be basically immune to acne for at least 15 years, it's an excellent medication.

Get a blood test, some times Zinc deficiency can lead to severe acne. Also, keep sugary/spicy things out of your diet, those things will fuck you over. As for what you already have, go to your doctor and ask him about Roaccutane. Will be a bitch of a treatment course but gets the job done. :)
[QUOTE=Chryseus;15002311]1. Drink plenty of water 2. Wash face frequently with soap 3. Eat stuff with vitamin A 4. Don't pick em ! [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A#Sources_of_vitamin_A[/url][/QUOTE] not with normal soap, buy soap that has the same PH as your skin. And still dont wash more than 2 times a day. It dries out your skin and that makes it get greasy faster.

Means i have more testosterone thus im more manly, my muscles grow more and i will look more atractive, specially when acne goes at the end of my puberty. [/QUOTE] Uh. You made me lol 8D E: fuck double
I got a lot of my mom's side in me and she's over 50 and still gets acne. I'm going to have it for my entire life pretty much. While it certainly isn't chronic (thank fuck), it annoys me. EDIT: My sister and dad on the other hand get away scott free.
