Acne

CLS asked:


I am currently using Aveeno’s Clear Complexion Cleansing Pads. Obviously, because it’s an anti-acne product, my skin is left dry after use. Should I apply anything else (like moisturizer or lotion, etc.) onto my face after this? I don’t want to be introducing unnecessary oils to my face after acne treatment, but it feels like I should take further action.

I used to have really bad acne that covered basically my whole face, mostly my cheeks. I still get zits that pop up now and then, but its totally manageable. Now, the problem I’m having is that I have a bunch of scarring left over on my cheeks from the acne I used to have. I have been using the ProActiv 3-step system and i also have been using ProActiv’s skin lightening lotion, though i havent noticed much of an improvement. I dont have any deep scarring or anything, but its about moderate. I **** having these marks on my face and ive been trying to get rid of them for a while. Is there any easy-enough solution to getting rid of moderate acne scarring without having to get involved in surgical processes such as dermabrasion?

Currently, I shave my legs with a normal razor or an electric one but I get really bad razor rash from that. I also have acne on my legs. I’d like to get electrolysis done on my legs someday. Will electrolysis help the acne as well as get rid of the hair? You would think so because it seems like the hair follicles are blocked and that’s what is causing the acne on my legs. So if there weren’t any hair there, the follicle would not be blocked. Any thoughts?!

please list all the best things you’ve used or things you’ve done to get rid of acne. also say what foods you had to stay away from. please dont list any doctor prescribed medicine because my acne isnt bad, its only a little bit of acne but i want to get rid of it fast. please list the name brands of the items and if you have any household remedies for acne it would be great if you could list those too. OH yeah and i have blackheads too so any tips on how to get rid of those would be helpful. thanks! by the way the reason im listing this in womens health is because, well, this is a problem that all women come across and i guess its kind of a health problem…thankss!
most of the acne is on my forehead by the way and the blackheads are on my nose. its weird though cause the acne is not red or irritated bumps they’re like…regular skin tone color and they’re only noticable if i turn my head a certain way and the light catches them in a certain way. yeah. lol sorry i thought maybe that would be useful info…
sorry about the gramatical error in the title of this topic lol..didnt realize

Like what do dermatologist do for you? And what goes on when you visit one? Is it benifical to go to a dermatologist for things like (not severe) acne?

I have started to exercise and I sweat alot. Now I have been getting bums which i believe are pimples (zits) on my arm. How do I prevent that from happening? And how do I take care of this acne now.

Please anything would be great from advice because I still want to work out and NOT suffer from arm acne.

My pit bull mix is about 9 months old. He started to develop acne about a month ago and it seems to be getting worse around his chin and lips. It doesn’t seem to bother him too much right now but I’m worried because it’s not going away. Does anyone know any at home remedies to get rid of puppy acne?

skinworrier asked:


I had acne all my life, it is mostly under contol now, with the occasional pimple. I’m now left with scarring, its not terrible, but it is noticable as well as large pores. I want to know the best way of getting rid of them completely. I’ve tried IPL which helped but didnt completely remove the scars. Please can someone help- my sanity depends on you! Thank you!
P.s I dont need to know how to treat the acne- i’ve done this! Just need to know about getting rid of the scars!

What brand should I use that isn’t too expensive but still works? I’ve tried Acne Free, Clearasil, and Neutrogena. What should I do about acne scars and blemishes? Homemade remedies are also fine.

I have acne and I’ve had it for years. I’m 28 and I still can’t fight my acne problems. When I was younger my acne was worse then it is now. Now I just break out periodically. I do tend to break out on my neck and back the worse. I don’t like using over the counter drugs because I’ve gotten sick of them. Most products I buy don’t really take care of my acne problems. I really believe in organic remedies. Do you know of any organic remedies for clearing up acne?
