Comments on: How to Treat Pimples

on 1/24/2008 Never use hydrogen peroxide to "disinfect" the needle - it erodes metal, causing it to flake off which can cause an infection. Same goes for trying to clean pierced ears with peroxide - major no-no, you've just ruined those earrings. And while we're on that subject, treating pierced ears with rubbing alcohol just dries out the wound so it'll never heal correctly.

on 11/28/2007 I just finished reading The Clear Skin Diet. Many people and dermatologists believe that acne has no relation to diet. In fact acne is a combination of genetics, diet, stress and lifestyle. If you have tried everything else I recommend this book! Most people do not alter their diet to try and suppress acne because they have been told (even by their dermatologists) that it has no effect. But if you think about the companies that support the profession (Accutane etc.) it makes sense that most doctors just give you the easier fix even though it can be detrimental to your health. I was skeptical before I read this book and now I am a strong believer that you have to attack acne at all ends including a healthy diet. If it doesn't work, well at least you are eating properly. Don't give it up after a week though. You need about 3 months (90 days) to see significant results.

on 10/11/2007 HI.

I have terrible acne for YEARS. the only thing that works is roaccutane. Its a powerful drug that closes all sweat glands. You take for 3 months and ALL acne disappears permanently (for 2 years +). Its a dnagerous drug and needs a specialist persciption, but if you are in hell, then it helps. Thank Jesus!

on 10/4/2007 a GOOD WAY IS USE SPERM FROM YOUR BOYFRIEND IT GREAT ITS SALTY AND IT TAKES IT OFF FAST AND YOU BOYFRIEND GETS PLEASURE OUT OF IT TO BY GETTING SEX OR HEAD SO HELP BOTH OF YALL

on 10/4/2007 NO TOOTHPASTE

on 10/4/2007 try toothpaste not mint though it will burn and put a dab on while your in the shower leave it on till you wash your face about 20 mins then wash off but make sure you wash it all off and then get soap and wash face again and it will take the redness away and soreness and take swelling away and do that for 3 days and what you know pimpels gone

on 9/6/2007 1/8 tsp lemon juice + 1/8 rosewater + 1/8 vinegar
Swab it all over your face before bed. In the morning wash your face with any acne face wash and you'll feel a dramatic difference in the texture of your skin. My face feels so soft and the pimples, reddness, and oil go away. The vinegar smell evaporates. I swear by this! It's cheap and it really works!

on 6/19/2007 I'm not Jessica Simpson or Kelly Clarkson but, proactiv really does work the best! After having a baby, my acne got so bad. I tried everything to get rid of it. Seriously I probably spent around $300 on regular face wash and masks and all that from the stores and it just wouldn't take it away. Finally I tried proactiv and I haven't had any issues since. BUT if you quit using it, in a month you will start to see it come back. I use it now only 3 or 4 times a week and its great. You don't even have to use all three steps you can just use the toner and it gets the job done!

on 5/24/2007 For redness try lightly rubbing on some Visine for red eyes. Sounds wierd but it works for a temporary fix.

on 4/17/2007 okay. im one of those people who gets whiteheads about 2 times a month. and BIG RED CYSTIC zits about 4 times a year.

and i can always get rid of them over night.

for cystic zits(the hard ones with no head that hurt extremly bad) put toothpaste all around it and leave it there all night/ REGULAR PASTE!!!! get crest:regular paste. NO WHITENING TOOTHPASTE OR GEL!


and for whiteheads i use sulfur. it comes in a pink bottle. apply with a Q-tip. burns like hell, but hey.... its worth it!!


seriously. if ur a teen with sensitive skin(like me) try this!

on 4/17/2007 STOP EVERYTHING AND LISTEN-THIS IS THE LAST ACNE TREATMENT YOU WILL EVER USE.What really causes pimples is an ovrworked liver. It has to filter out hormones from the blood, but if it's weak or clogged it can't work properly. So along with topical methods, make sure to keep a healthy liver. Eating foods with a lot of green in it has enzymes which help digest food ad takes a huge burden of your liver. Also, eat lots of fiber as this will absorb the built up toxins your body will begin to flush out. If you do't absorb it, the blood will, and you know where it's heading. People often wonder why some street bum has awwsome skin, or someone who eats junk food never break out. and they are breaking out. It all has to do with a strong liver AS IT ABSORBS ALL THE IMPURITIES FROM THE BLOOD LIKE A FILTER AND SENDS OUT THE CLEAN BLOOD. The same applies to the reason why some teenagers get acne and some don't. Acne is a cry for help from your liver, so don't ignore it, act on it. I've had acne ever since i could remember and i've tried everything- from proactive to accutane, but nothing has work like the liver regiment i picked up.Now all I use is a salicylic face wash and moisturizer. I can't stress on how important a healthy working liver is. Most people's liver are only working at 65%. Yours could be much lower, But you could get it up to at least 80%. It's worked for me and I just feel that I should share it as I see soo may short term remedies being posted here.Those will work, but not for long. The one i'm talking about will be the last one you ever use, and it will last the rest of your life. If you are serious about clearer skin, visit,http://www.natural-acne-treatments.com/ and if you have any questions at all just email me at "thehalfvolley@yahoo.com". I am not their promoter, just someone who was at the end of the road and said, what the heck, i'll try it. I was only 4 days into it when my chapped lips, which i've had all my life, completely healed. Now all I have to do is find the right moisturizer for my sensitive skin. A healthy liver is paramount, it is key, do it, do it, do it. This is all i can say. You also know what works for you so don't forget. Topical methods and clays should also be used but all that is explained on the website. Every human deserves clear skin.
