www.squidoo.com Its true Face Acne is where it usually all starts. Its the most common type of acne and can be quite unbearable. Looking for cures ...

I have a face acne and body acne problem that I want to get rid of. I have acne on my chest and back, Its not severe acne but its noticeable. Any suggestions on some products or some tips i could use?

Other than washing your face a lot :

Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.

Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.

Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.

Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.

Drink plenty of water.

Don't pop that pimple right away. Popping a pimple prematurely, before you can see the puss about to burst the skin, can cause a mild skin infection, a cyst (by pushing the infection further down into the pore), or even worse, a terrible scar. Wait until you can see the yellow puss about to break through the skin.

Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.
Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.
Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.
Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer.

Acne isn't caused by dirt. In fact people with oily skin have cleaner skin than average because they wash it more often. But it's a fact that washing too much can make acne worse because it makes the skin dry and sore. So, wash no more than twice a day, using mild soap and water. If you have patches of dry skin, don't worry about putting moisturizer on. It won't make your acne worse. If you're still concerned, use an oil free moisturizer.

It's a myth that eating chocolate and fried foods causes acne. However, eating a good diet improves your general well-being and this is reflected in your skin

I just recently noticed I'm breaking out on my face like crazy. I have some cystic acne on my chin (under-the-skin and very painful!) and I need to get rid of it ASAP! Please help!

If you play sports here is a tip: Do NOT wipe sweat off your face with you hands! Use a towel or your jersey. The oils in you hand mix with the sweat a makes break outs more frequent. Try washing your face with Olay Clarity every other day. Also try to steer clear of foods with high sugar content or foods that have been deep fried. Hope it helps.

I want my skin to be really nice, is proactive the best brand out there? What treatments make your face acne free but still soft?

Face wash has almost no effect on acne, other than irritating it more. Try a leave-on acne treatment, such as benzoyl peroxide (I use Zapzyt right from the drugstore) and a very gentle cleanser such as cetaphil.

I am breaking out on my face its like sores, what kind of acne is that ...never had this before..so how do i get rid of it, and sometimes I break out on my buttocks an back of thighs...

How do i get rid of the dark marks that it leaves, I want my clear complation back

I suggest seeing a doctor to eliminate other causes for the appearance of these acne-like lesions. The reason I say this is that I have dealt with these same issues, but on a larger scale, for over 14 years. I was diagnosed as having cystic acne, boils, and a lot of other things before I was diagnosed as having an illness called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). HS is commonly misdiagnosed because it mimics other common & easily treatable conditions like acne or boils. However, there are vast differences between those conditions and HS.

HS is characterized by lesions that appear in certain areas of the body - buttocks, breasts, upper thighs, underarms, and groin. However, there are people who have this condition where the lesions are also on other areas like the face, stomach, and back. Another thing about the lesions is that they tend to be painful, generally take longer to heal, and leave reddish-looking scars when they heal.

Check out the links below for more information on HS ... Many doctors are not familiar with HS, so I've also included a link to help you find a doctor who is knowledgeable about HS, and they can determine whether you have this or not.

If you need further information, please do not hesitate to ask ... I'll try to get more if you need it ..Good luck to you ...

My face is incredibly greasy these summer days. Not just when I'm hot, but anytime my hair is down, anytime my hair is up, anytime I'm working, anytime I'm sitting down reading...and that's causing bad face acne! I'm going to town with some friends tomorrow and wanted to know which product you think I should buy.

Thanks!

PS Oh, and I've tried Clearsil face wash, Oil of Olay face wash, alcohol for face, hydrogen peroxide, astrigent, Cedaphil soap, and right now I'm using apple cider vinegar.

Ugh I know your pain trust me. I've been there. Lately I've been much better though all thanks to.. nothing! I've tried so many products, in mine (and many others) opinion, it's just a fraud. I use water. I wash my face every time I pass a rest room, and it keeps my face relatively clean and acne free. First, use hot water to open pores, then cold to snap them shut. It's pretty effective. Soap can be used, but most soap dries out the skin. As does many other products, especially if they include alcohol. I've also been searching for the answer, and mostly what I get is to use water. Also, try cutting back on greasy or fatty foods. It's been proven that there is none, or a very weak correlation to acne, but if you see a correlation, reduce the intake of that food to see what happens. For me, it's potato chips and soft drink. Neither are good for you anyways so it's an added bonus haha. Also, stress may cause break outs. So try some stress relieving activities if you think that's the problem. Furthermore, do not continuously pick at blemishes and zits. If sqeezing is needed, well then do so, but only as a last resort. Sometimes, if you know your going to have a zit in a certain spot, putting toothpaste on it, and leaving it overnight could make it easier to pop in the morning. It's worked for me a few times regardless. I'm not sure on this one, but try getting more fresh air. There is not real cure for acne, and treatment varies in effectiveness from person to person, this is just my method of fighting it, and I hope it works for you. If it doesn't, make the best of it, and hope to grow out of it as I am.
