If these things really worked, then everyone would be using it.
The only things that can help are a healthy diet and washing the skin daily without aggrivating it. If its bad enough then a doctor will prescribe something.
And two seconds on google reveals that the above is EXACTALLY what the site tells you to do.
And yes, ive only got the odd couple of spots. I just hate them though
As an adolescent you'll get a few spots and there's nowt you ca really do, it it's bad see a doctor.
I'd just like to say that having spots has nothing to do with cleanliness (although clearly not washing will not HELP) and washing your face in warm water will do nothing.
I've suffered from acne for more than 10 years now so I should know and I have tried absolutely everything.
Yes thanks, I was aware of that and I'm sure the original poster is as well. But washing his face in warm water isn't going to get rid of spots.
Spots are not caused by dirt, they are caused by hormones. And are you suggesting the guy is dirty? I'm sure he knows how to wash his face.
That's a bit exclusive, what with air fares being so much these days!
I know all manner of weird and wacky natural - and unnatural - treatments you could try, depending on what the specifics are. I've never had acne myself (touching wood frantically) but I experimented heavily on my ex and some of the weirdest things were successful
I am a bit of a sick bitch, I'm totally obsessed with other people's spots.
He wouldn't get it if all he had was a few spots. They are really strict about it now.
Briggi please tell me some tips. I have tried absolutely everything, sick of spending money and I'm 24 now, it would be nice to feel confident without make up on.
I had a bad case of acne when I was 15. My then girlfriend always squeezed them out with tweezers, ouch!
I've been to different dermatologists, and my face is pretty much clean except some.... like blackheads, but they are white, on my chin.
advice?
/edit: I think I just need to use products with benzoperoxid like they all say on the internet.
I just got a moisturizing cream from the dermatologists (they had to mix it together in the drugstore for me. It's a pretty competent doctor, and he put together an exact mixture for my skintype etc ...), but I usually just wash with water and some skin thingy spray which belongs to my sister (hey! im not the beaty man
You need your GP to refer you to a dermatologist. If you go NHS there will be a waiting list.
As has been said it is stricter now. Although, if it has been really persistent and it is really annoying you the dermatologist might be sympathetic - esp if you say you're aware of the risks. The risk being that some people have linked accutane to depression, there's been a few people on it who have committed suicide. (There are also thousands more people though like myself who took it and whose only regret is not taking it earlier).
Er it is probably possible to buy it off some dodgy site shipping from Mexico or something but it would be v.expensive and not advised. It's a prescription drug and you won't get it legally without a prescription. It's a prescription drug for a reason and there's a reason that even GPs can't give it out - you need to get it from a dermatologist. If you're on it you need a professional to make sure it's OK. It's good stuff and it works but there's no way that you should be buying it on the internet and going on it without professional medical advice.
