Before you even tell me to go get Proactiv or Clearasil or any remedies, trust me, over the last 4 years, ive tried them all.
I’m 15 and I’ve had acne for the past 4-5 years and it is really bothering me. I get self conscious when I’m in public or when I am meeting new people. It started just on my face, then it spread to my chest, now i have really bad acne on my chest. Next it went to my back. I’m embarrassed to change in locker rooms or to go swimming or anything because of this!
Then I got this bump under my eye on my cheek. I think its a cyst, I’m not sure but it doesnt hurt and all it does is just sit there and stick out. Later i got another one of these on the same cheek, and 5 on the other cheek. Now im afraid its going on my neck
because there are now 2 of these bumps on my neck. I can’t do anything about it, they don’t pop, they don’t move, I dont know what to do about them.
Well, one of the first things you should do when you get really bad acne like this, including cysts and boils, is go to the dermatolagist. They should surely help you. Also, if you haven’t already, try the aspirin mask. I haven’t personally tried it, but I have heard great things about it.
Good Luck, Kaylee
I feel that you may have other issues going on here, but the acne I can relate with. I am sure you have probably done the research, but I will throw this out there anyway. We all use different cleansers, soaps, etc. as well as having different skin types, which causes these “remedies” to work differently for each individual. There are lot’s of great resources here!
go to a dermatologist! Mainly for the bumps! They could be cancerous. Also, your dermatologist can give you medecine to stop your acne. Lots of my friends have pills they take… i have some on my face and i HATE it when i get pimples on my back! hope i helped.
That sucks to have acne out for all to see. Acne is an internal issue that rears it’s ugly head externally. Try Arbonne. It is SAFE Swiss skin care. They have both an internal supplement and external skin care. I get it at
Go to the doctor (dermatologist). You might need to be on something strong, like Accutane.
Or maybe you need to have antibiotics (oral or topical).
there are many treatments available– you need to go in right away because it’s already been 5 year and you will get scars from cystic acne (and it’s painful).
So go to your regular doc and say you want to go see a dermatologist– ask for a referral.
have you tried clinque’s acne solutions 3 step system?
you can find it in the online acne store here
i had some stubborn acne too that would go away but keep coming back. i would try clinique. ive been using it and my acne is almost completely gone. its worth a shot.
