Acne is caused by hormones. It is exacerbated (made worse) by eating spicy, greasy, chocolate etc. You cannot make it go away. If you wash your face at least twice a day (preferably 3 times) with ivory soap & water & drink plenty of water, it won 't be quite so bad. The soap & water helps keep your skin clean & the drinking water helps keep you hydrated which in turn helps prevent breakouts. Do not pop or squeeze pimples or blackheads. You can get some nasty infections & scarring that way. Plus it makes you look worse to have red, open sores on your face.

Learn to spell and write properly and maybe someone will actually answer your question.

Well when you pop them you have the risk of more infection and scaring. The toothpaste drys out your skin a little... To be honest, wash your face twice daily (with facial cleanser) and then moisturize it. Leave the acne alone or go to a dermatologist to receive proper lotion/ cream for the acne.

I don 't no about the popping thing. But i 've tried the toothpaste thing before, and its worked. Not on all spots though, just try it. If it doesn 't work it doesn 't really matter.

Toothpaste dries out some pimples because it sucks the water out around it (ever notice how dry your mouth feels after brushing?) Popping and squeezing might be a bad idea, because if the pore is not opened enough to let the "plug out " the puss underneath it will spread underneath the skin causing the pimple to become even worse. If you don 't know what you 're doing, have a proffessional cleanse your skin.
