Do you have pimples guys? I hate those pimples. I have pimples. Many people say many reasons for getting pimples in our face. Doctors say, its because of harmone changes. My grandma used to tell its because of excess heat in the body. In order to avoid it, she always asks me to take oil bath. But even after doing all those things, its not going... give me ur ideas friends..

I hate those too! I am shivering while responding to the message. That shows how sensitive I am for them. I hate them by no means. Whenever I had one, I use Alum on my face and remove them in one or two days. Sometimes, a face cream could also do the job!

Alum, the chemical product - This is useful in stopping blood flow and healing the pimples!
[i]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A crystal of alum Alum, (IPA:/'æl?m/) refers to a specific chemical compound and a class of chemical compounds. The specific compound is the hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate with the formula KAl(SO4)2.12H2O. The wider class of compounds known as alums have the related stoichiometry, AB(SO4)2.12H2O[/i]I hope this would help you!

the main reason of pimples is your digestion control. the pimples come due to eat heavily oiled food. to stop more pimples avoid eating oily food and drink as much water as you can.

No there is no truth to that at all. Our bodies produce oils even if we only consume a little.

One of the many causes of pimples is too much sugar. Sugar comes in any forms, pasta and all starches convert directly into sugar. I watch what I eat in those areas, but when I am bad, I get zits. Yes, even at 60.

hi vidhyagowri, I had pimples when reach the age of 17 and the worst is when I reach the age of 19. I am so troubled because I feel so ugly with those. I got so depressed and so is my mom. What my mom did is to ask some help from our relatives how to get rid of those pimples. My uncle give some suggestions but we cannot afford it. He advised to buy a medicine and that will surely get rid of the pimples. We observed that he has a son who have so many pimples. And everytime he is drinking the medicine, the pimples somehow disappearing. But when he stop taking those medicines, pimples starts to appear again on his face.Because of that, it convince more not to try those medicines. We are not rich and we really cannot afford to regularly buy the medicine he is suggesting. I just keep my face clean all day.I always wash it every morning and before I go to bed. When I have to go outside, I always bring with me handkerchief so I can cover my face on the smoke I can get from different vehicles.I also avoid eating chocolates. Because I noticed that everytime I will eat chocolates, pimples will start to appear next day. So even if I love very much chocolate, I keep on avoiding that in exchange of good face.I would rather be hungry than to eat chocolates. My friend suggest a soap to me and I try it. I noticed that the soap works on my face.It is not that expensive but it really works. Well, I tried also some soap but they cannot remove pimples.

All I know is that the cause of pimples is that we've forgot to clean our face. In fact when were sweating a lot, we forgot to wipe it out and the fact that when you sweat, the pore is open and it prone to bacteria and dirt from the air, so when the dirt enters your pores, it irritates your skin and will lead to pimples. Washing frequently may reduce the pimples on our face.

Where are the pimples? I have been told to wash them good with soap and water and put antibiotic ointment on them and they will go away.

Hi vidhyagowri - Do you use any particular kind of acne medication, like Oxy or Stridex? My teenage son has a problem with pimples and he liked the Oxy brand much better than Stridex because it is less drying on his face. I just bought him a new kind that is supposed to be similar to Proactive and it seems to be doing much much better for him. I just told him yesterday that his face is looking a lot better and he said he thinks so too. Jill
