Acne Tips

i have the same problem coupled with extremely
sensitive skin. What I do each week is boil a pot of water
and put it in a clean sink that has NO traces of
cleanser in it. I put in a bag or 2 of chamomile tea and
put a towel behind my head and steam my face keeping
as much steam in as possible. I sometimes gently pop
the blackheads after a few minutes but only if they
are VERY ready.<br><br>Since you are only 13 you
don’t have to worry about your eyes but the rest of us
could then take the teabags and put them on our
eyes.<br><br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Jessica

im 13, and i have mild acne. its not the zits i
hate, but my pores!! they are very big, and are all
visibly clogged. i have tried everything to try to get
them unclogged, but nothing seems to work!! any
suggestions?

Im the same way!! Although, even when I do
breakout and its night time, I am my normal wild
personality!! (Since its dark, no one can see my skin). I know
that sounds pathetic and all, LOL. But usually I have
so much fun that I forget I have acne
anyway!<br><br>Nina

my personality changes when i get acne. it’s not
a big change. it’s just i’m less outgoing and i
don’t want to do things. when i’m acne free…i’m
totally a wild, outgoing , party animal!!!!!<br><br>bryan

i found that in the early stage where u just had
your acne pop or when it just u know died u can work
quickly to help the scar skin cell become good again. Wat
i did was, i got this anti-bacterial facial thing
(don’t use lactives etc!) poured abit into a bucket or
big bowl to fit the around the face, then poured
boiled water in there and grab a towel and covered my
face there. course u get up and have breaks now and
then, but i had my face underthere for 30 mins or so.
got back up SOFTLY PAT my face dry with a FACIAL
towel. Then got the OIL FREE vitamin A cream and rub it
on my face softly. It actually begins rebuilding
u’re skin cells and the scars will dissapear quicker.
Make sure SOFTLY PAT u’re face dry everytime u wash
u’re face, cuz u dont wanna irritate the acne, and get

I admit I had my doubts about ever going on the
medicine because of all the side effects that could occur.
But I had literally run out of any other
option–other than going holistic or going for accupuncture or
anything like that. I took the chance and was willing to
face any consequence that might have come about from
the medicine. Going in with that attitude and just
following my doctor’s orders and getting the monthly blood
tests done… I really saved my sanity.

thats great accutane worked for you!<br><br>bryan

Before finally going on Accutane, I had literally
been on every acne medication out there. When I was 13
or 14 I went through a bout of having moderate to
serious breakouts, and my dermatologist gave me some gel
and a tube of something that reminded me of
astrigent. That worked and it wasn’t until I was around 19
that I started getting serious acne again. I was
having a hard time in college and found myself just
breaking out more and more. I was put on Retin-A and was
also taking two Mynocyclin pills a day. After a while
my face cleared up and I was taken off the medicine.
When the acne returned I went on Benzamycin, to no
avail. I went on Differin–nothing happened. All
throughout these failed attempts my dermatologist was
strongly suggesting I go on Accutane. I didn’t want to

I haven’t noticed any hairloss, and the
cholesterol levels..the doc has seen my blood tests and said
they were fine so I guess that means my cholesterol is
alright. I didn’t find any blood in my ’stool’ (LOL) but I
do think I get depressed more often. I am a somewhat
moody person as it is though. C ya!<br><br>Nina
