becoz i have recently found that on nights that i have masturbated i have more white heads in the morning, but when i dont, its rare to find them?|||Unless you are wiping the...err residue onto your face I would say that there is no relation between them both lol|||Generally, no. But your body needs zinc to combat acne, and ejacuation is where a lot of it goes. So maybe limit the amount of masturbation you do. There%26#039;s always a period where teens have loads of zits, then it lessens as you get older.
Wash your face with mild soap and water. Avoid or limit fatty, processed foods (junk) and eat lots of fruit and veges. Drink plenty of water, and stay away from soda.|||No that%26#039;s a myth. I think you are just telling yourself that and looking more closly. Well if you somehow got oil on your face then yes you will get some break outs but it has nothing to do with you masturbating. What exactly are you doing when you masterbate? :)|||milk and other diary product make your acne worse...masturbation would not have that effect unless your wiping the produce into your skin and your body is reacting aganst it....although my wife thinks its really god for locking in moisture.|||If it does then surely you would still crack one out anway.
Not heard of any link between the two. I agree with the lady above , wash you hands and face afterwards. Make sure it%26#039;s all cleaned away|||Nooooooo, not True, it totally just a coincidence!
I had an Uncle 5yrs. older and he%26#039;d laugh and say No, kid it gets the Toxins outta your System.....(And NO he ISN%26#039;T a PEDO...lol...)|||Lies all lies! everyone knows masturbating makes you blind!;)|||this is a myth older than time, dont give it another thought..|||It makes you deaf as well and gives you arthritis in your right hand (or both)|||If that was true my face would have expoded years ago

If that doesn%26#039;t work, I suggest you try a doctor specializing in homeopathic/naturalistic remedies. Good luck. I have friends and relatives who have suffered through the same problem. They got very emotional about it.
If you are a female and also have issues with irregular periods along with your acne, you may have a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: PCOS. An endocrinologist can help you diagnose (or rule out) that condition. Women with PCOS typically, but no always, experience amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea (absent or very infrequent periods), infertility (as a result of irregular periods), unexplained weight gain, hirsutism (abnormal hair growth on face, arms, groin, etc) and sometimes uncontrollable acne. PCOS can, however, be asymptomatic or be accompanied by some, rather than all, above mentioned symptoms.
If you cannot see an endocrinologist due to insurance coverage, ask your gynecologist to run some tests to check your hormone levels, specifically to rule out PCOS, including the testosterone level.
I feel confident this information will help you. I think your dermatologist didn%26#039;t search deep enough.

It does so much to combat skin problems. Reduces redness, dries out the pimples and it smells great too.

Its a pill, first you take 1 pill for a month the the rest of the time you take two. You have to go to your dermatologist to get it but its soooo worth it. The only thing about it is that you CAN NOT get pregnant when your on the pill. If you get pregnant it could seriously affect the baby. Therefore the derm. makes sure you are either using condoms or on the pill. Every month you have to have a visit to the doctor to get the perscription, you go online to the website and take a quick quiz making sure you know the affects it could have on a baby and then go pick it up at the pharmacy. It may sound like alot to do, but it really isnt. I took it for 4 months and i havent had anything on my face since and that has been a year ago. I had xxxxx bad acne.

Remember, sometimes some products take at least 6-8 weeks to fully become active.
Micro Retin-A really worked for me. I used it and the first 6 weeks it made me break out a bit more but after 6 weeks my skin seriously cleared up and looks even better than before I had acne. Micro Retin-A is a prescribed product so try to talk to a dermatologist about it. Tazorac is the same type of treatment and works well too.
Keep using Proactiv in the meantime, it may take a bit longer to fully work on your skin. Be consistant and it will work.
Also, keep your bedsheets cleaned and washed, especially your pillow covers. Don%26#039;t use fragranced detergent or softner, it might be irritating your skin.
Try mineral make up, that might make a difference as well. Good luck and hang in there!|||First, you need a really good skin care regimen - you should wash, use a toner, and moisturize. If you are not putting a toner on after you wash, your skin is exposed to the environment.
I would stay away from ProActiv. It is really harsh on your face and has some bleaching chemicals (It bleached my hairline when I used it and ruined my washcloths).
As a healthier alternative, you could try the Clear Advantage Line from Arbonne International. It has a wash, toner, and lotion. It also comes with a skin supplement vitamin that pushes the toxins out of your skin - in other words, things will be worse before they get better. Zinc in the product helps your skin heal faster and they use salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide (a higher grade). Arbonne also offers a 45 day money back guarantee.
Whatever, you choose, stick with it for at least 6 weeks to determine if it is working. Other hints - keep you hands away from your face, don%26#039;t pop your acne, avoid sun exposure.......Good luck!|||It must be an allergy. Get yourself tested for allergies and see what foods u are allergic to. Try avoiding them for a period of time.

I would stay away from ProActiv. It is really harsh on your face and has some bleaching chemicals (It bleached my hairline when I used it and ruined my washcloths).
As a healthier alternative, you could try the Clear Advantage Line from Arbonne International. It has a wash, toner, and lotion. It also comes with a skin supplement vitamin that pushes the toxins out of your skin - in other words, things will be worse before they get better. Zinc in the product helps your skin heal faster and they use salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide (a higher grade). Arbonne also offers a 45 day money back guarantee.
Whatever, you choose, stick with it for at least 6 weeks to determine if it is working. Other hints - keep you hands away from your face, don%26#039;t pop your acne, avoid sun exposure.......Good luck!|||It must be an allergy.

If you have really tried everything, including prescriptions then for most people the last effort is Accutane. Doctors don%26#039;t give Accutane unless NOTHING else works. It does work great from what I%26#039;ve heard, but it also has some bad side-effects.
As far as waiting until your are 22, good lucki. Acne can last for much longer! I never, ever had acne until I turned 22 years old, and it came on like a ******* train wreck.

I am now 34 years old, and it just won%26#039;t stop.
See your doctor, and see if you can try Accutane, it seems to be the one medication that works for people that have tried everything else. If you have already tried it and it did not work, then hang in there.
I used to write suicide notes because of acne, so I do get it..it ******* sucks!|||have you tried changing your diet slightly? have you been to your gp? at 17 your hormones are all over the place so breakouts will be inevitable.
Keep your skin clean though, and persevere with whatever treatment your doctor gives you, keep returning to your gp if you dont see any improvement.
Also, try and relax a little ( i know its hard) and not let it get to you so much, if you are feeling stressed out about it, you probably think it looks ten times worse than it really is.

My forehead started breaking out really bad at the beginning of freshman year. So my mom took me to go see my doctor, and my doctor gave me this medication that would help. It helped for a while but now I%26#039;m in the 11th grade and it doesn%26#039;t work at all my forehead is starting to break out again like freshman year, and I%26#039;m tired of it.

Your long hair could be it- certain conditioners or hair products can cause your scalp to produce more oil, which can run down your face, and clog your pores. Touching your face a lot can also cause acne. A diet that consists of too much oily foods, fat or red meat can also cause acne. Not drinking enough water can do the same. There are so many things that can cause it, it%26#039;s not funny. Even your own hormones can cause it. The best thing to do is to systematically run through the checklist, try altering your diet, or your habits and see if it clears up any.|||well actually acne is a hereditary condition and it can also be heightened by hormones or improper cleansing if u use a antibacterial cleanser or even soap followed an astringent with salicyic acid followed by a benzoyl peroxide over the counter acne medication u should see great improvement in time. drink lots of water and try to eat healthy change ur pillowcases often keep ur cell off ur face wen ur talking and try keeping ur hair away from ur face as well. as long as u limit or control the oil on your face the problem should lessen or subside.|||Diet. Acne is aggrevated by fried and greesy unhealthy foods, not hair lenth or staying up all night (that will just cause heart failure if one regular).

There are so many things that can cause acne. If you are having such a terrible time with it, you really should go to the doctor.
My own home remedies for acne involved cutting out basically all of the meat products in my diet, all added sugars, white flowers, preservatives and processed foods.

i%26#039;ve used clean and clear face washes and pimple prevention products, clearasil products, regular soap and water, and astringents as well, but none of them work! i%26#039;m thinking of odering proactiv but im not sure if that is just one of those %26quot;as seen on tv%26quot; crappy products, hence, afraid to waste my money and time on something that wont work for me.

Very simply, his skin was prone to become infected with bacteria, causing the acne. Topical washes or solutions will not remedy this, and can actually make it worse.

Good Luck!|||clearasil and similar products are simply a waste of money. proactive works well for most people with sever acne that gets progressively worse, so i would suggest using that. i don%26#039;t really like using really hardcore stuff and instead suggest to make sure to wash your face with warm water twice a day and even use sea salt scrub (comes in a jar particularly for exfoliating your skin) to help minimize the oil and to smooth out the surface.

I%26#039;ve had bad acne for years. I%26#039;ve used
virtually every product on the planet, neutrogina, clearasil, clean and
clear, every other possible over the counter, and tons of
prescription too, zoderm, ziana, etc, and pills.. None of it worked. Just
stay away from certain harsh acids, and .as for proactiv, i tried that
and acnefree, and they were both just time consuming and
expensive. The key is washing your face often, and bathing a lot.
Twice a day, morning and nice, just shower. Baths dry out your skin,
which may be good for someone with acne, but make sure it%26#039;s not
too dry. You might want to try benzoyl perozide for your back and
shoulders and chest. But i think it%26#039;s prescription, mine was. It
works alright, and you can use it in the shower, but make sure you
get generic or it%26#039;ll be like 80$ for a tube. But basically wash a lot.
For redness, make sure you wash your face with cool water, and
not hot water. Good luck girl =]
p.s. As for all the above products, I%26#039;ve used the all.
Epiduo wasn%26#039;t horrible, but proactiv dried out my skin too
much. Maybe try something organic that isn%26#039;t such a
popular advertised product.

Good Luck!|||clearasil and similar products are simply a waste of money. proactive works well for most people with sever acne that gets progressively worse, so i would suggest using that. i don%26#039;t really like using really hardcore stuff and instead suggest to make sure to wash your face with warm water twice a day and even use sea salt scrub (comes in a jar particularly for exfoliating your skin) to help minimize the oil and to smooth out the surface. Good luck!|||sometimes using products makes it worser,
trust me go to the doctors they%26#039;ll prescribe you to some medications so to stop sebum (oily glands) from producing excessive oil that cause spots.if it continues they might refer you to a dermatologist, your acne seems severe.
good luck :)|||I had the same problem, really.
I got proactive and it didn%26#039;t work for me.
Now, something that works really well for me is Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser
Just make sure to wash your face in the morning, and at night, and never fall asleep with makeup on.|||Proactive did not work at all for me and I used it for months. your best bet is to have your pediatrician recomend you a dermatologist. That%26#039;s what I did, and the dermatologist put me on Duac and Differin (creams) and my face has improved immensly.|||Acene Free or sumthing like that i have to use it and it works GREAT its like proactive it has the 3 step process but i love it and my pimple are GONE!|||Try Neutrogina oil free acne wash and also go see a dermatoligist and ask for Epido!|||I%26#039;m in the same boat, dude. I%26#039;ve had bad acne for years. I%26#039;ve used
virtually every product on the planet, neutrogina, clearasil, clean and
clear, every other possible over the counter, and tons of
prescription too, zoderm, ziana, etc, and pills.. None of it worked. Just
stay away from certain harsh acids, and .as for proactiv, i tried that
and acnefree, and they were both just time consuming and
expensive. The key is washing your face often, and bathing a lot.
Twice a day, morning and nice, just shower. Baths dry out your skin,
which may be good for someone with acne, but make sure it%26#039;s not
too dry. You might want to try benzoyl perozide for your back and
shoulders and chest. But i think it%26#039;s prescription, mine was. It
works alright, and you can use it in the shower, but make sure you
get generic or it%26#039;ll be like 80$ for a tube. But basically wash a lot.
For redness, make sure you wash your face with cool water, and
not hot water. Good luck girl =]
p.s. As for all the above products, I%26#039;ve used the all.
Epiduo wasn%26#039;t horrible, but proactiv dried out my skin too
much. Maybe try something organic that isn%26#039;t such a
popular advertised product.
Bad painful acne infections will my insurance cover?
I had acne issue over past 5 years. Ever since high school my acne started to appear all over my back and shoulder down to my chest and my face is the same way. Now there is scars pretty much everywhere that it is hard to find a spot without it. Scar did not bothered me but i get big large painful acne that seems almost impossible to get rid off. once it starts it get as big as a nickel and and it hurts very bad. On a hot summer day it gets so bad that i refuse to wear anything that shows my back or my chest. I get em on my face often too.
since this is not totally just cosmetic issue will my insurance cover the cost to help remove or medication to help painful acne from appearing so often? I have kaiser.|||healthplans.my-age.net - here is my health insurance plan. As I remember they can provide such a service.|||I am 50 years old and I have terrible acne on my back. I tell you this because I was told it%26#039;s what I eat (a lot of fried food)
To answer your questions most insurance companies allow for a dermatologist visit with the same co pay. call the number on the back of the card and have your primary doctor prescribe a skin doctor.
Hope this helps.|||Yes, acne is a skin disease, and there are very effective treatments available for it. So, by all means get it treated. It should be covered like any other illness.|||All you need to do is call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask them. You should see if you need a referral too.

Bad skin, acne, whiteheads and little lines. What should I do?
First of all, I am 19. I dont drink or smoke at all. I dont eat candies, or fried food. I wash my face everyday. Ive tried proactive. Im currently using Acne Free to get rid of the whiteheads./acne on my forehead but it doesnt seem to work. I dont go to tanning salons, never have. I use sunblock but sorta stopped since winter started. I get an avg of 9 hours of sleep. I drink green tea occasionally. I believe I exercise (i walk alot at school, but havent done running/ or any type of aerobic exercises since fall). I put on lotion. Yet whiteheads have been showing up lately. I dunno how to get rid of them. Moreover, I noticed these small 2 lines on my forehead. Is it possible to get rid of them? Is it possible to for my face have clear skin at all?|||It%26#039;s probably a phase you%26#039;re going through. You seem to be doing everything that%26#039;s good for your skin and nothing to aggravate it. Try seeing a doctor and ask him if there%26#039;s anything you could take. Your cleaning routine seems good. Try doing small, gentle circular actions on your face with a face flannel and a cleanser for oily skin. Applying very sparingly some Vitamin E oil to scarred skin might help getting rid of scars.|||Well, for one thing junk food doesn%26#039;t cause acne. However, in some people they eat when they are stressed, and stress caused acne. Its possible that your just really stressed out all the time. Also, maybe you have an overactive gland. If you%26#039;re still really concerned about your skin, go see a dermatologist. Maybe you need something stronger that you can only get with a prescription.|||try wu long tea, it is very helpful..........it makes you look young and beautiful............|||if its really bad then go to the doctors and they can give you stuff to get rid of it.|||Drink lots of water. Drinking water will prevent most of your skin problems. Exercise regularly. Some form of aerobic exercise will bring oxygen to your cells and give you a healthy skin.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne|||The products you are using are probably causing the acne.

Stopped using differin 2days ago afteramonth of worse acne when will my skin blikebe4? any1 experienced this2?
I stopped using differin 2 days ago after a month of worse acne, I had about 5 small pimples when I started and now my forehead and cheek is covered in break outs! How long until my skin goes back to normal? Has anyone else experienced similar results when using Differin? Any acne medications you recommend?|||You can use Erythromycin ointment, and take medicine Doxicycline 200 mg ( that is two tablets of doxy 100 mg at a time) on firstday after food and a 100 mg tablet daily for next four days after food. Avoid latenight activities, clean your face with a moisteriser soap after a day%26#039;s work, Avoid frequent and excessive makeup, take plenty of green vegetables , fruits/ juice, water. Use sunscreen lotion on face during day time outings.|||it did not work for me, i used it almost three month and i have not seen anything better but worsen my skin, it made cystic acne, and i never had that before using this, so the demo prescribe me doxicycline 100mg, it help a little with it, but my skin is far worst than before i used defferin.

|||most creams like that will break you out bad then your skin will get better.
you should probably ask your dermatologist about trying something else.|||Did you use it for just a month? If so, the break out is expected. The medications, and a lot of others, bring up unseen lesions from under the skin. You have to get through that to see results afterwards. You needed to stay on it for at least 12 weeks to get full results. Anyway, your face should go back to the way it was before in maybe a week.

Why are acne scrubs bad?
ok i read acne scrubs are horrible, but i%26#039;ve been using one on my nose...cause on my nose i have black heads and really small red zits ...ok my skin looks amazing!!! i love it!!! but i read it%26#039;s bad...why is this ???|||Because you spred your skin oil and you make more zits.
What causes cystic acne? Because I have it really bad, am 20 year old male, and can't get them to go away.?
I don%26#039;t know but I think that stressing out causes a lot of acne and I think that also eating ALOT of chocolate also causes acne but of course that is my opinion.
Does Acne get worse before getting better?
I have really bad acnce so I started taking proactive. Since I have started using it, my acne has doubled. Is this a normal process in all acne treatment?|||Yes, with Proactiv that is very normal. The way that it works is that while you have the acne that you see on your skin, there is another cycle of acne building up. All of that dirt, oil, and bacteria festers in your skin for along time before going to the surface in the form of acne. What Proactiv will do is pull all of that to the surface, so your next couple of months of acne all come out at once. Since there is nothing left building in the skin, after that clears up there is nothing more to break you out. So if you keep up with good maintnence and care, your skin should stay clear. That is why it tells you to wait 6-8 weeks for optimal results. Good luck!|||this is TOTALLY normal!! so dont worry (:! what is happening is that the acne system is bringing up the nasty dirt from your pores. it is on the top of your skin so you will get a break out. but soon the break out will go away
this happened with my friend and i using acne free too!
hope this helps! (:|||try milk and lemon this really works i have tried it!! it will smell abit but do u want a clear face or not?
first put one spoon of milk and then hafe of the lemon and mix well, use a cotton wool to apply on your face . put this at night before u go to bed or u can let it dry and wash it off.....
i hope this works 4 u :)|||not sure about this but if you are looking for an alternative solution...
i went to the doctor about my acne and she advised me to change my shampoo to a mild one and gave me a treatment called zineyrt
since then my acne has completely gone
:D yay me !
Yay you if you do the same!
YAY US!|||Any time you start a new skin care system you will have some breakouts. If you were not using anything but soap and water before the proactive will bring imputities that were deep in the skin to the surface resulting in more blemishes. I will tell you however that proactive can be very harsh and drying to the skin with regular use.|||yes it is called purging.
After you unclog your pores where the hell do you think it goes? It is really normal especially after starting a new regimen.
