Need some help with remedies or advice!  

I use Apple Cider Vinegar on my face--I actually wrote an online article about it for EHow. It does work for me--but the thing is, it's the picking and the messing with your face that is going to stop your acne from ever going away/healing. I'm really bad about keeping my hands off my face too, but I've gotten better and I noticed my face clearing up!

If you can't stop picking I'm afraid you won't ever get rid of it! And I know how you feel!

Onions also work well on pimples.

I also use aloe vera...if I ever feel like I really have to mess with my face I always go rub some aloe vera all over my face. And that makes me leave my face alone...it gets easier the longer you manage to leave your face alone!

Did you inherited that from your folks? acne or pimples do come and go although they can be treated internal and external. Internal means oral prescription from your dermatologist, external is from those topical medications you need to use.

I suggest you go to a certified dermatologist and not self medicate if your acne problem is serious. Some people just buy over the counter prescriptions although it is not bad, but then to address such problem, one should also be serious treating it, don't you think so?

You need also to keep watch of what you eat that causes reaction to your skin, do you have any allergic reactions to foods? are you washing your face twice daily? after washing, do you use toners, moisturizers or anti acne creams? and do you use same brands or of different brands?

A soap alone or a cream alone will never be sufficient enough. Acne or pimple are bacterial, so treating yourself inner is also important. Do you usually sleep less than 8 hours, drink less water and eat junkies? this will also help in accelerating pimple breakouts. I also remind friends who suffer such to always change their pillow cases twice a week. About popping pimples, well this is the most bad thing to do, you are just helping pimples to spread over your face. Refrain from touching your face with your dirty hands please.

Picking at your acne or frequently touching it only makes it worse. Keep your face clean and only wash your face twice, in the morning and at bedtime. Have you consulted a dermatologist? Sometimes they recommend spot treatment using Benzac AC. If it happens to be a severe acne, they recommend accutane therapy or treatment of acne with isotretinoin. It has serious and less serious side effects though, and patients must sign a consent form noting that they are aware of its side effects. Using apple cider for treatment of acne is one popular home remedy. I haven't used it and never tried before. But they say it's effective because it's a natural exfoliator. I think the easiest remedy for acne or bad skin would be eating healthy foods. It should start on your diet. Feed your body with nutrients. Keep yourself away from stress. Exercise regularly. And seek professional advice for more effective treatment.

In order to be free free from acne problems, you should do the following things:

1. Always keep cleaning your face, diligently wash face with soap that matches PH your skin.

2. Diligent exercise or do activity physical which produce a lot of sweat.

3. diligent drinking water.

4. Avoid excessive stress

To prevent your acne does not become more severe, Don't squeeze your pimples, especially if your hands are not clean because ONLY more exacerbate your acne may even lead to other injuries or infections.

Acne is caused due to oil secretion glands called as sebaceous gland in the face.These are sometimes caused due to the harmonal changes or improper diet and many reasons.If one has the symptoms of acne, the first and foremost thing for them is not to pick it up as it may spread to the near by areas. So consult a speicalist in worst case else follow some home remedies like drinking lot of water, not picking it up, avoid oily foods, eat a balanced diet and last but not the least use a cleanser, tonner and moisturizer that are specially available for acnes.

Hi,

I had problems with acne as a teenager. I remember my doctor telling my mom that it would all go away when I got married !!!

I also saw a dermatologist and she gave me some cream and it made it all worse. I was washing my face religiously morning and evening. I did all the right things, didnt eat any of the foods on the "no-no list" slept well, took care of myself but still I had acne.

Finally I was given the pill (contraceptive) and it solved all the problems. My face cleared up.
