first of all dunn't touch ur pimples with naked hands.there are many reasons wich may cause pimples:-\n\n1)dandraff in hairs,eyebrows or eyelids.whenever they fall on face skin they can cause pimples.\n\n2)hereditary causes-if ur ancestors had it.then u r more porne to acne or pimple.\n\n3)harmonal imbalance-its preety natural when we r growing up in adulthood.after certain age i.e 25 it willn't make u fret.\n\ncures:-market is full of products which claim to make ur face acne free but dude its not the fact.so my suggestion to u is to keep ur face clean n clear.dunn't use cosmetic products wich ultimately will harm ur skin.go for naturals i mean clay masks with lemon.i m 23 and i m suffering and fighting with it.for details u may contact me at: clarkanderson@gmail.com

Be sure to shower at least once a day, change your sheets and pillow case at least once a week and wash your face daily with an acne cleaner that dries oily skin like those containing benzoyle peroxide (ie: oxy, neutrogena etc.)  Also think about seeing your dermatologist.  He might put you on a mild antibiotic like Minicycline which is very effective and, even without insurance, will only cost you about $10 a month.  Finally, avoid picking and squeezing at all costs as this spreads the infection as well as transmit bacteria from your fingers to your face.

You need to see a dermatologist, you might need a prescription.  There are also adult facial cleansers for acne.

It's just puberty. It will get better with time. That said, you will never be totally pimple free but the severity will calm down as you get older so that you only get the odd spot. I wouldn't worry about it too much.\n\nIn terms of your existing pimples, do not pop them. Let them develop a head and burst under their own steam. If you develp white or blackheads, make sure your fingers are really clean (i.e. WASH YOUR HANDS!) and heat the affected area with a hot flannel before squeezing the head of the spot GENTLY to get the contents out. Then wash affected parts with antibacterial soap and use the same preparation in these areas as you use for the spots on your face. Then forget about them. In a couple of years, your skin will get a lot better. In the meantime, be kind to your skin otherwise you will be left with lots of scars...and if you are really worried, go to a salon that does facials and skin treatments and get proper advice on how to treat your skin until your teenage outbreaks calm down.

Try pro-active or see a dermatologist. I had acne that was caused by stress and a hormonal imbalance and my dermatologist put me Acutane and it worked great but it takes at least 2 months to start working.

I started having acne since I was 14, I started using proactiv, (which is $39.95). Sometimes you have to pay the price to have beautifull clear skin.

I think being that you are 43 and never had your face break out before, I would go see a dermatolgist.  It might not be acne....

I'm 32 and I still break out with my period. It totally sucks. Like being on your period isn't bad enough! The breakouts are caused by hormones. See your gynecologist - he can prescribe a birth control (Ortho Tricyclen) that will actually help with break outs, or a mild antibiotic that will help keep your skin clear. Also, just keep taking care of your skin and drink lots of water everyday. Unfortunately, some things you just have to deal with.

Unfortunatley pimples caused by stress there is no cure for. I break out from stress all the time and they are painful and suck ass. Don't listen to people tell you about toothpaste and eye drops cause it wont work. You will keep getting zits when you are stressed out. For now use Biore Ice Wash, Biore heated mask and try Noxema Pads (like stridex but better). Do not pop your pimples they will scar. Take a hot wet rag and hold it down on your pimple till all the pussy crap surfaces and when it breaks (on it's own) put some peroxide in it. I promise this will work. And BTW you are WAY to young to be that stressed out, a locking up jaw is a very bad sign, ask your parents to take you to your doctor and tell him about the stress and jaw thing. He can prescribe you zanex and it will help you with the stress and your skin. Good luck to you - feel better

You need to see your doctor and/or a dermatologist. Have you used any new soaps, detergents, etc.?

You should make an appointment to see a dermatologist, he is the best person to determine the cause and the treatment. He will probably want to know how long you have had it and how old you were when it started. Some acne problems can be helped with a cleaning regiment and some can only be helped with medication.

1. Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap such as cetaphil.\n2. Rinse with warm water.\n3. Apply a benzoyl peroxide topical cream, such as Clearasil, BP or On -The-Spot, to affected areas only. Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witch hazel.\n4. After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer, unscented is best.\n5. Once a week, use a kaolin-clay-based mask and let dry to pull impurities from your skin.\n6. Rinse with warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub such as Swiss Valley Apricot Scrub or Neutrogena 60-Second Mask/Scrub.\n7. Be sure to moisturize well after your weekly treatment. \n\n* 2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.\n* Moisturizing is an important daily step, don't skip the moisturizer just because you think your skin is oily. Regular moisturizing will help keep your skin pimple free.\n* Pimple-fighting concealer can also be used for protection all day.\n* Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin\n* Taking vitamins regularly can also help your skin.\n* Avoid smoking or taking immuno-suppressants (such as steroids)\n* Some foods, like garlic and onions, are thought to improve skin conditions. \n\n* DON'T TOUCH: When you get a pimple, imagine that there is police tape around it. Your pimple is off limits to touch. The oils from your hands will make it harder for it to go away. Do NOT pop it. This will spread the bacteria (causing more pimples on other areas of your face) and may leave a scar (whether you use your fingernails or not). In general, don't touch your face unless you are actively washing it!\n* While you should always discuss any helth issues with your doctor, it's especially important to consult a dermatologist if your acne affects more than 30% of your skin, if breakouts increase after beginning treatment, or if you experience scarring.\n* When you start the treatment, your acne might appear to flare for a week or two, as your skin gets used to the new routine and impurities are drawn from your pores.

Fellow 27/f here...I have a couple suggestions for you. I have struggle with this problem since my teen years and have literally tried everything!!  I finally went on Accutane at 18 and it was so horrible, but I stuck it out and it got rid of my acne, minus a break out here or there. At 26, my acne came back in Full force! I am determined never to harm my body with horrible drugs like I did when I was 18, so I am trying a more natural approach. \n\n1) Use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent after you wash your face. It will help kill off the bacteria on your face and eat away at some of that nasty stuff.\n2) I haven't tried this, but I read today that you could dab honey on a pimple and put a bandaid over it...overnight. Apparently, honey has something in it that produces hydrogen peroxide, so putting it on the pimple will basically release this stuff over night on your pimple. Interesting I thought!\n3) If you are looking for a great face line that will help you get that stuff cleared up, get rid of fine lines and other blotches in the skin, I know of a great one. So good in fact, that I signed up this month to be able to buy the products at wholesale, because they are that good. Probably on here, this comes across as a weird sales pitch, but I'm 100% honest when I say that this product line changed the way I looked at the cosmetics and health and beauty industry.\n\nDid you know that cosmetic products virtually aren't regulated at all? They can basically put whatever they want in the products, and they do. This includes animal byproducts...you said you eat organic foods, but what are you putting on your skin?  I just realized about a month ago, through research, that before I have taken 1 bite of food in the morning, I have put large quantities of dead animals on my skin. GROSS! So I made a switch.\n\nThe products I am talking about are by Arbonne International. You can look them up online. If you email me, I would love to give you more info and see if they might work for you too. I am not in this to make money, but I will "sell" you the products for the wholesale cost I get if you are interested in trying them. No pressure whatsoever, but it is worth looking in to. Best of luck.\n\n*******************************\nLisa, if you consider this "regulation" then you need to get your head checked.\n\n"Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before they are sold to the public. Generally, FDA regulates these products after they have been released to the marketplace. This means that manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."\n\nThis is a DIRECT quote from the FDAs webpage. Source posted below. \n\nAs to having to go to a "Professional", I am and have been going to a dermatologist for years. NEVER to have my acne cleared up EXCEPT when on accutane. And if you read the testamonies AGAINST that, including my own, you will NEVER touch the stuff. My dermatologist, with all his medications, can't take care of my acne apparently...or doesn't want to, because it isn't in his best interest. Neither could the other 3 dermatologists I've been to in my life. So, I took it upon myself to research and research and research. I am providing what I have found...and miraculously, IT IS WORKING! So Lisa, keep you nose out of it, because obviously YOU haven't been through this. For all your KNOWLEDGE, you know nothing.\n\n*******************************\nI've also posted a link to a list of cosmetic "ingredients" that are or may be derived from animals. Now, you may not think too much about animal cruelty, or that may not be a huge factor for you, but think of it this way. Animals that are grown and bred for specific purposes are treated with antibiotics,
