See a dermatologist: In the modern era, there is never a reason to live with acne. Treatment is quite effective, and can prevent permanent scarring.

Question 3

can dry ice make pimples go away fast?

Accepted Answer

Terrible idea: You will simply injure the skin and end up with a bigger mess. If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician. Prescription medicine can clear you until the disease self-cures. If your parents oppose this for superstitious reasons, make the phone call yourself.
