Acne Picture - Skin Care

Question: How do i clear up this acne? (picture)?

Alright so I'm 16, going on 17. A couple of months back my face was completely clear. One day after I returned home, I noticed there had been a zit which formed on my jaw line. So I popped it. Ever since then its spread out from that spot. The rest of my face is clear but on the cheek/jawline on that specific side its gotten pretty bad. Now it doesn't really appear to be like acne, its just red marks which won't clear up. I've wash my face more than two times a day, rarely touch my face. I've tried toothpaste and that just makes it more red and dry. I've been using oxy pads, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4025/acn.png (Sorry for the quality, has to use my webcam because I don't have a digital camera) Can someone please explain to me how to clear this up, and avoid spreading in the future?

Have your parents take you to the Dermatologist. They 'll prescribe the best treatment for your skin.

Go to the dermatologist, Acutane works great but it 's not for everyone and can be difficult for some people to stay on. I took it and everything went well.

Ok first of all don 't freak out! At your age acne is very common. It can occur just because of the changes your body i going through. The red marks are called acne scars which appear rarely after popping pimples. The spreading is normal too. Have you checked the type of soap your using? Dove works great!!! Do you use a towel when you wash your face? You could be reacting to the fabric.(This probably isn 't the case if you 've used the towel before.) The 2 best things to do is to 1, look for soaps that are specifically for acne on your face. Follow the guidelines on the back and wait for the results. If you think it 's more serious, talk to your doctor. It could be generic. There ar a lot of different medications and injections for acne too, but they don 't always work. If you wear make-up you could be reacting to it. Whenever you 're at home for long periods off time take all make-up off and see if it helps. If the acne goes away I would stop using that band of make-up hope I helped!!!

Drink lots of water and try not to stress too much about it as stress if known to make acne worse. Also acne goes away pretty fast when you know how to get rid of body toxins. I used this method and has been acne free since then morereviewz.googlepages.com/ acnefree.htm You can try it if you like. Good Luck

I 've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/ pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it 's at. I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life. I 'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy. Literally the best acne face wash I 've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It 's unique cause of it 's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful. You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn 't work it will still save you butt on the return policy. Well good luck and best wishes.
