I'm so unhappy. My acne keeps getting worse. I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me a bunch of stuff on Monday. Now it's Friday night and my acne has only gotten worse! It's all around my cheeks, mouth nose, and some on my forehead. My acne isn't elevated off my skin really any (if you felt across my face you'd hardly feel any bumps) but they are average size in diameter and very red. It's really gross and I don't know how I'm going to go back to school on Monday. I'd rather kill myself then go back to school. Please help, all I really need is to reduce redness. Everything I've tried isn't working. And I'm doing what the dermatologist told me to do, but I don't see a difference. All I want is it to be less red :(My acne is really bad. How can I help?
i think i have the same problem as you :O :(My acne is really bad. How can I help?
Time is the only thing that can reduce the redness. My doc used to tell me that I could use the meds every OTHER day if I was experiencing any redness.
Call the doc back up and tell him your situation.
JUST WAIT...BE PATIENT
I learned years ago that peanut butter made me have acne something awful. Even into my thirties. Same for my kids and a nephew. No peanut butter. No acne. It may not be the same thing for you but you should keep a food diary. See if you can find a link to your acne and what your eating. It can take a couple of days after eating something before you break out. Try eliminating dairy and sugar. These can be problematic for some people. Ask your dr. if you can take flax oil. It's good for the skin. And zinc. Aids in healing and may help to prevent scarring. Good luck.
you've only been on the medicines for like a week. they will take several months to work. just use them consistently every day.
lol i'd laugh at u if i saw u in school
A lot of acne can result if your diet consists of a lot of junk food. change your diet, see if that helps.
well, at first, just wash your face with soap and water and let it dry. don't use towel, just let it dry. oh! use warm water. then, avoid touching your face especially when your hands are dirty. avoid pollutions such as smokes coming from vehicles, dusts, etc. don't go back to your old dermatologist. look for another. he might give you a soap that dries pimples, an acne-clear lotion and an oil-free cream(these products helped me a lot).
What the skin needs is a treatment that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.
Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:

MY ACNE GOT REALLY!!!BAD!!! WHAT CAN I USE??!!?
Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne worse by using too many products. There is no quick fix for acne. Your doctor may recommend some prescription medication. Keep your face very clean. Drink plenty of water. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. Try to reduce the stress in your life. Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer. Here are a few informative links with additional home treatment ideas.

MY ACNE GOT REALLY!!!BAD!!! WHAT CAN I USE??!!?
The best you can do is wash your face 4 times a day with a mild soap this one is so good i have been telling everyone about it. they sell at Walmart in the hispanic section its called Grisi Soap 3 Manzanillas / Chamomile - Brings a fresh and soft sensation to the skin. and is for very sensitive skin. its only 99cents.
it really depends on the type of skin that you have. i've read a lot about acne since from time to time, i get some really bad ones. but what works for me is putting ice on the problem areas to reduce swelling and then using makeup to cover up the redness.
-- good luck to you. (:
Acne Free works for me, Proactiv didnt. It made it worse, but Acne Free made it better. Well the only thing that made it worse is the lotion, the last step. And so all i use now is the cleanser and toner and this gel that my doctor prescribed me.
The acne wonderdrug is ';acutane';

IT CLEARED MY HORRIBLE, MODERATE-TO SEVERE ACNE
Go try the first acne medicine your doctor gave you in 9th grade ! I understand you though, my acne's not that bad but sometimes it gets bad to a point where I don't want to leave my house. You need to figure out what causes your acne ! I found out that eating junk food and sleeping late makes me break out like crazy ! Almost like what you explained but better. Just watch what you eat make sure it's not greasy and get some sleep along with your medications ! Good luck ! Don't ever pop them because you will regret later on. It's better to have those nasty little things and be scar free later. Because with the acne you're describing, those could leave bad scars when messed with.
If you're desperate there are some home remedies that sometimes work or just depends on your skin. Either put classic toothpaste(regular plain ones) and put some on your skin. Or put some vinegar on a paper towel and leave it on your skin for a couple minutes.
You said that your acne cream gets worse before it gets better, I think it's best if you keep using it. I have acne cream like that and it seems to work fine.

use proactive. its the bestMy acnes are very old and bad and make blood under my skin.what is the best cure?
Sorry to hear that. Just let me say that if your looking for a cure for acne, you won't find it. A cure doesn't exist. When a friend of mine had acne, he went to a skin care clinic. They gave him a product called Dadashie. That stuff worked extremely well for him. Proactive only worked for about 2 weeks for him and then stopped. If you do end up going to a clinic, ask them if they use Dadashie. Here's the site:

If milk makes my acne worse will whey protien make my acne worse to?
will whey protien make my acne worse if milk does because i'm working out and i need more protien in my diet...If milk makes my acne worse will whey protien make my acne worse to?
You should be fine if you are taking a chemical free whey product minus the fillers and additives. Check the label of the whey protein to make sure it is pure! Good luckIf milk makes my acne worse will whey protien make my acne worse to?
How much protein do we need?
Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person, 92 grams.
Is it OK to eat a lot more protein than the minimum recommendations?
This is the crucial question for people on diets which are higher in protein than usual, as low-carb diets tend to be. In a review of the research, the National Academy of Sciences reported that the only known danger from high protein diets is for individuals with kidney disease. After careful study, they recommend that 10 percent to 35 percent of daily calories come from protein. They point out that increased protein could be helpful in treating obesity. There is also accumulating evidence that extra protein may help prevent osteoporosis.
Extra protein can be broken down into glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis. On low carb diets, this happens continually. One benefit of obtaining glucose from protein is that it is absorbed into the bloodstream very slowly, so it doesn鈥檛 cause a rapid blood sugar increase.
What foods have the most protein?
Meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts all have substantial amounts of protein.

Acne sucks really bad!?
Ok, so I have really mild acne. It's nothing too serious. Besides my back. My hair covers it during the summer, which of course isn't healthy that I leave my hair down. But, it's embarrasing. I mean, of course, acne is embarrasing period. I have some blackheads on my boobs that aren't really noticeable. I was wondering if I should go on accutane for about 2 months or three? I've tried Proactive and it sucks. I'm trying Clean and Clear, and it's actually working a little. It's keeping my acne to where I don't really have any more popping up, even around my periods. But, I still have it on my face. Were gonna go to the doctor and see what he says. What do you think? Should I go on for a short amount of time.Acne sucks really bad!?
There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It was even televised on TV.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up ';Cee En's Acne Solution'; or ';best acne solution ever'; on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160
It's expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
I hope this helps. =)Acne sucks really bad!?
Go to a dermatoligist, its probably not a good idea to go on it unless you have severe acne, it is usually the last thing doctors tell you to do. I use st. ives acne and blackhead scrub on my mild acne and all over my face and back and it works great, you have to continually try something for about two months to tell if it works or not.
Hope you find something that works.
ya accutane especially for your back i kno how that can suck

Is egg bad for your skin? Especially if you have an acne-prone skin.?
There is a dairy link. What happens to be more of my trigger is milk and cheese. If I have a lot of those two dairy products in my diet, I am guaranteed to break out with massive cysts. Some researchers believe that acne is an over reactive inflammatory response. Dairy increases the inflammation somehow. I know for myself that this is true. It took about 2 - 3 weeks for me to see results but my acne has been reduced dramatically just by altering what I eat.Is egg bad for your skin? Especially if you have an acne-prone skin.?
No, eggs are not bad for your skin. Some recent research has indicated that milk (due to the growth hormones used to increase lactation in dairy cattle) might increase acne due to its potential affect on human hormones. There is also some research that a high sugar/carbohydrate/starch diet might contribute to acne. However, this does not include eggs. Even the research about avoiding eggs due to their cholesterol content has been called into question recently (as long as they are consumed in moderation). Is egg bad for your skin? Especially if you have an acne-prone skin.?
Eat Egg Whites instead of the whole egg for protein.eyeshadow color

Acne has gotten bad. go to dermatologist or keep trying over the counter stuff?
Acne does not run in my family.
My sister has it bad on her back, but a few here and there on her face (shes 18)
i'm younger than her so it still might be a phase...but it has gotten so bad where my face is all red, bumpy, and oily. (i know, disgusting, sorry.)
I've tried alot of over the counter stuff, like:
acne-free terminator
Clean and Clear creams and other topicals
alot more..i just can't remember.
I've also used Proactiv, which worked really well for about 2 months...then all of the sudden it stopped working...i had more breakouts then usually and it just wasn't helping.
After i stopped using Proactiv because it didn't seem to be doing anything anymore, it just keeps on getting worse.
Now I'm using Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Kit...it's my second day using it and I've really haven't seen results. I know I should give it time, but do you think it's about time to give up and just see a dermatologist?
please give your best opinion.
