If this is of a sudden then get off the drugs, stop hanging out with Methamphetamines and their 'cooks', have your house tested for Meth!

Acne is same for all the skin types.


The treatment is also same.


Nothing special for a skin color.


Please read this and use suitable medicine.

The active ingredient in Proactiv is benzoyl peroxide. I believe you can get the 5% benzoyl peroxide soap (bar) over the counter in a drugstore. I've used the PanOxyl from Stiefel for my back, and it has worked. A 10% soap (liquid or bar) requires a perscription.





You can also go to a dermatologist (or perhaps even a family doctor) to get a prescription for Stievamycin. The regular is 0.025% tretinoin, and 4% erythromycin. The mild is 0.01% trentinoin and 4% erythromycin. I used to alternate the mild Stievamycin and something else (forgot the name) on my face, and the acne cleared up in apprx 6mths to 1yr. Then I had to keep using them for a year or so to maintain it.





Dosage and strength depends on your skin. Too much is an irritant, and too little doesn't do too much.





Stuff from the drugstore is probably much cheaper than Proactiv, and prescription medication is usually covered by insurance companies.





If your acne is really bad, I guess you could get a prescription from a doctor for acne-specific oral antibiotics, a special type of birth control pills (called ';Diane 35';), or accutane.





I don't think your skin colour should change your acne treatment much. Just, some of the topical medications are coloured creams, so make sure the pharmacist mixes it to the right colour.





By the way, I think most people just grow out of it. So if you don't pick at it, your skin should be fine.
Don't listen to these other morons that say black doesn't make a difference when it comes to skin care- they're just ignorant.


African American skin is more prone to oilness, ingrown hairs and blackheads than caucasian skin. You need a good skin care regimen that includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Someone mentioned Proactiv, which is very good. If you don't have the money for that, try this:


1. Use a good skin care bar, such as Basis.


2. Cleanse your face morning and night with a exfoliating sponge, such as a Buf Puf (ESPECIALLY at night before bed).


3. Use an alcohol free toner to remove further dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.


4. Use an oil-free moisturizer after toning.


You can also try any product that contains glycolic acid in it for further blemish control ( something like Pimple Eraser is good). Hope tips help.
stop eating fried foods
Nivea cream.
proactive products and good old vitamin c also other herbs depending on your age
What does it matter that you're black? Just use Clearasil or whatever a pharmacist would recommend.
Go to an African American dermatologist or a skin dr. familiar with black skin conditions.
