Question 1

I wash my face several times a day. why do i still get acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne is not due to lack of washing.
It is due to hormone changes that are affected by many things: if you are a girl/woman, it often gets worse before the menstrual period. Cettain foods tend to aggravate acne: nuts, peanut butter, chocolate; dairy products (cheese, milk) in excess, and sugary foods. While washing is beneficial, it cannot rid your face of the blemishes.

Question 2

Why could i still be getting acne if i wash my face every night?

Accepted Answer

Although proper hydration may help acne, washing your face with water may not be enough to remove all dirt or oils from your skin. You may need to invest on a nice cleanser for your skin type.

Question 3

Please help! what is the best way to wash my face and back and get rid of the acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne on your trunk won't respond to anything short of systemic prescription rx. One combination is topical benzoyl peroxide plus oral tetracycline; there are many other possibilities depending on what's right for you. Acne is basically unrelated to washing, hygiene, lifestyle, or most other things, and it's a serious personal and professional liability. Let us clear you up.

Question 4

I wash my face 2 times a day. is there any other way i can get rid of acne fast and naturally?

Accepted Answer

Try changing your face wash. Consider something with salicylic acid (an exfoliatiant). You may have some redness and irritation at first. Any makeup should be gentle, and designed for sensitive skin. Your doctor can offer other treatments if this doesn't help; consider a dermatologist.

Question 5

I bathe a lot and wash my face but acne is still spreading. how can i stop this?

Accepted Answer

Is most definitely related to diet and the endocrine changes occurring in adolescence. The only thing you can do is clean up your diet.

Question 6

What are some ways to get rid of acne off of my forehead even if i wash my face everyday, keep the hair tied?

Accepted Answer

Washing face may not be that helpful, especially if done excessively. There is a number of topical and oral preparations that may be tried to get rid of acne. Some acne are stubborn enough to have to use both. You may want to consult your primary care provider or dermatologist for the best approach in your case.

Question 7

I am experiencing  oily skin along with acne.
how do i get rid of my oily skin? 
i wash my face everyday, use toner and moisturizer.
i also exercise.

Accepted Answer

How much transfats and other oils are in your diet?  Good oils include coconut oil and olive oil.  Please avoid junk food and fast food.  Lots of fruits and vegetables are healthy and detoxing.  Avoid any skin product w/alcohol in it.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

I've been breaking out a lot on my cheeks. i eat healthy, wash my face and use prescribed acne treatment. i don't know why my face still breaks out?

Accepted Answer

You're going to need stronger acne Rx until it remits on its own. Get with your personal physician. I trust you're using topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid, and some added prescription Rx.  SInce you're a female (right?) you may be a candidate for adding spironolactone.

Question 9

How can i get rid of the small pimples on my forehead? i wash my face, exfoliate every now and then, and use acne medication.

Accepted Answer

Acne during teen and young adult  years is not uncommon.  Usually when you  reach young adult years the acne calms down.  Remember washing your face daily is very important.  If you can afford an over the counter acne soap that may be helpful.  Also around the house items include diluted Apple Cider Vinegar as well as Egg Whites.

Question 10

Sometimes when i wash my face with acne cleanser it gets up my nose. i get a burning sensation in one nostril that goes away shortly followed with a headache on one side. i flush it with water. should i be worried when this happens?

Accepted Answer

The inside of your nose is lined with a sensitive later if membrane.Such agents can produce a transient burning sensation. If left in place it would cause a local burn. Minor irritation will self heal quickly.
