How to heal big pimples? Please don%26#039;t state home remedies like toothpaste or icepack. They have been researched to be useless and the icepack can cause scars.|||It%26#039;s a sin to squeeze pimples. It will definitely lead to scars.
To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.
Proactiv works for some people it clears up for a while but acne may come back. It is also very harsh on your skin and may dry it all up, definitely not for people with sensitive skin. My friend said it corroded and bleached her metal sink so if it can do that to the sink, think of what it is doing to your face. So Proactiv is a no no.
Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good
Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don%26#039;t pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.
Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegatables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at 8 hours a day.
If all else fails, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.|||Don%26#039;t squeeze them - if they are really full of puss you can take a clean wet wash cloth (heat in micro for warmth)
and apply - I%26#039;d use a sterile pin to lance the center but highly suggest using the heated clean cloths to open naturally.
Use a hydrating pure soap or acne wash -
after doing this and apply peroxide to a the puss filled pimple.
Otherwise witch hazel on a cotton ball will suffice as a toner.
Apply a stridex or oxy pad to very infected areas or simply let them air dry after the witch hazel and apply acne cream as needed.
An acne mask once a week
exfoliate twice a week (not on same days)
this will help cell turn over. Use pure and natural brands.
Check in the drug store.|||I also have acne,
Use a mild soap with warm water, not too cold or too hot.
When I first got spots I went to the doctor and he told me I had acne, he gave me some antibiotic tablets and some cream, and after a few months the spots disappeared.
So I would advise you to go and see a doctor, or they will get worse. Also DONT squeeze them !
Some myths about acne:
Acne is not caused by poor hygiene.
Diet has little or no effect on acne. For example, there is no evidence that chocolate, sweets, or fatty foods make acne worse.
Stress does not cause acne.
Acne is not just a simple skin infection, its the changing hormones, sebum, overgrowth of a normally harmless bacteria, you cannot catch acne, it is not contagious.
Acne cannot be cured by drinking lots of water.
No evidence that sunbathing or sunbeds will help clear acne.
Hope this helps. :-)|||On no account physically tamper with the spots, see a pharmacist or a doctor for advise, depending on the severity of your acne. If you don%26#039;t scarring may well be the outcome.|||Do not squeeze the pimples it can cause more infection, only squeeze blackheads. First of all acne should clear up within 2 weeks if not or it gets worse see a doctor. Try using lemon juice. Put lemon juice on and leave on for a few minutes, rinse off with cool water. Or you can use crushed orange peel mixed with a little water, apply to the face as a mask, leave on for a few minutes and rinse off with cool water. Watch the intake of foods with iodine such as seafood, chips and beef liver.
Use soaps with glycerin in it, if your a female do not use oil based make-up.
