kids at school are pissing me the f*ck off about my acne. im not getting any sh*t from them but, the small comments piss me off. i dont make comments about any of their imperfections and yet they still poke their nose into mine and bring it up(i hate this generation). i swear im going to knock out the next kid who says something about it. im so frickn frustrated about my acne too. iv seen theleip's post about acne and iv done a lot of stuff on there to make my acne go away.

it got worse

this is why im so pissed. i stopped touching my face. i have a clean diet. i change my sheets and pillow case every week(pillow case every day). im using antibacterial soap. im using a skin moisturizer because my skin is slightly dry. i really hate having acne...it just pisses me to no end. i really need some advice here on how to fight this.
 
Man i feel for you, I know acne isnt cool and i know what it feels like when you know you are doing everything you can and still to no avail.


Other then the Wash your face after any event when you sweat. in order to make sure bacteria do not get a chance to "infect" the area. It sounds like you are doing or have done just about anything and everything you can. My last thoughts would it would be something in your diet.

I would recommend you take dairy out of your diet for a month. Iv read about people who have "cured" their acne problems just be taking diary out of their diet. Its worth a shot at least.

in the February 2005 Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Heres what the study found

The women who drank more than three servings of any type of milk per day were 22 percent more likely to report having had severe acne than those who drank only one (or less) servings per week. Those who consumed two or more glasses of skim milk daily were 44 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with severe acne as teenagers.

As someone who had bad back and chest acne as a teenager I know it can be frustrated. Honestly, you should make an appointment with a dermatologist theirs a lot of medication and creams that can help you.

You are in a crazy cycle. You are using a bunch of cleansers and soap products to clean your face which dry out your skin and then your using a moisturizer to stop the dryness. First off, don't use a moisturizer it will just make your skin more oily and cause more acne. If your face is getting really dry its because your scrubbing and cleaning it to often. Reduce the frequency and amount of times you clean your face with these harsh products.
 
I know what you're going through mate.

Are you on accutane, benzoylperoxide or anything compareable?
If not you should really try the regimen on acne.org ,helped me a lot!

You might also be sensitive to protein or something.

Go check the messageboards on acne.org, tons of advice on there!
 
Awe PB, I'm sorry you're so upset!! I'm not sure where your acne is but I will tell you this -At your age my brother had THE WORSE acne on his face, he was picked on as well. It's just the cruel nature of teenagers. We all at that age are experiencing changes, and are so uncomfortable with them that its easy to point others out! Anyway I haven't seen a pimple on my brothers face since he graduated high school!!

Also going to the dermatologist could be a good idea too. And I myself when I had some issues used pro-active and drank as much water as I could stand-it worked for me. Hope I helped :)
 
CHEMICAL PEELS! I got 2, never had acne again. I still go every 2 months to keep the acne off. There are other things as well, like retna-a and duac topical gel that I used when I had acne, that gets rid of it fast. Go to dermatologist.
 
Hang in there. My son had it...and he's a handsome kid! no, not cause I'm his mom.:) I took him to a dermatologist also and it was a start, it didn't completely go away but reduced until he eventually grew out of it, which you will. There are remedies to help. Just try and ignore it as hard as it might be. Try the proactive as mentioned...leary about the aquitaine...has some scary sideffects...I didn't really want him on that one. I also recently just read about the milk article also..wish we new that then.
 
We all go through it at some point or another bro. Don't sweat it.

Use that anger/energy to fuel your workouts.
 
word

I'm in high school to bro the other day some1 made fun of the LA hat i was wearing and got in my face about it. He was sayin alright tough guy if u wanan hit me hit me. So i knocked him out and beat the **** outta him. I only got 3 days of suspension but i guarntee no1 else will bother me. SOmetimes just take it into ur own hands brotha, maybe i have a lil anger issue but it helped me out. Good luck
 
Teenagers are the worst about pointing out someone's flaws (they can fall into that 'old enough to know better, too young to care' category). You seem to have the maturity not to point out the imperfections in others, which is good. Like LV said, use the energy to fuel your workouts. Turn a negative into a positive.

One day, you will outgrow your acne, (and be freakin' huge), and they will still be inconsiderate jackasses.
 
Probably a good idea to see a dermatoligist, I had back acne that my mom kept telling me would go away. When I was about 21 it still hadn't so I went to a dermatoligist who got me on some medicine and a couple months later it was gone. I could have saved lots of scars had I gone earlier.
 
alright, thanks guys it helps a lot hearing from you guys and getting advice. i will look around at acne.com and see what to do there. im ganna see the germatologist too(if my mom lets me). it means a lot just to have someone(anyone)on my side :). again, thanks all

HEHE, you said Germ!! :p ;)
 
If your mom won't make you a dermatologist appointment go to your regular family doctor and have them take a look. They can prescribe some stuff or give you a referral to a dermatlogist. Your mom would very likely take you to see a dermatologist if your regular doctor referred you.
 
thanks; i looked at acne.org and im doing one of the programs there. im going to walmart to get all the supplies they reccomend : )


thanks again guys : ) your (yes YOU) the best
 
Keep an eye on thread.

I've had acne for 7-8 years now but by taking friggin green tea extract pills they're dissapearing!

Please buy them and see what they do for you! You don't want to find out after 7 years that all you had to do was take a pill, trust me.

try proactive if you haven't already. takes a few months to kick in, but if you stick with it, u should see results. i mean everyone is different, but a lot of people have had positive results from, including myself. good luck to ya and don't let those idiots get to u, they're just immature.
