Q: my pimples and breakouts are getting very painful, inflamed, irritated and red. any suggestions for calming down my skin or helping those breakouts go away?

: There isn't much to speed healing when when acne lesions get so advanced. However, with modern medical care, nobody ever needs to have such severe acne. See a dermatologist: effective treatments are available. Most important, they can prevent permanent scarring. Don't delay -- do it now. Good luck.
