on 11/22/2005 Well, although they say it can lead to scarring, I think the way to clear whiteheads faster is to pop the pus out of them. I had a pimple on the side of my nose for over 3 weeks, and I finally popped the whitehead out of it. It was gone within 3 days.

on 11/22/2005 Toothpaste works, it really does. It works on the big red zits that won't pop and hurt sooo bad! But it has to be paste, not gel. Never use extra-floride toothpaste. I did that, and it burned my skin. Just stick to the regular stuff.

on 11/22/2005 While it may seem like a good idea, due to its good drying qualities, NEVER apply toothpaste to your skin. It can cause serious skin conditions. You want to help your complexion, not aggravate it and make it more serious! Consult a dermatologist instead.

on 11/22/2005 If the pimple has already popped, wash the area and put a dab of refrigerated aloe gel on it, and let it dry. This lessens the redness, dries the pimple and heals the area all at once.

on 11/22/2005 What I have done is to stop drinking soda and opt for more nutritional and healthy drinks (like orange, apple, grape juice and so on). I haven't had a breakout for two years.

on 11/22/2005 I am 15 years old and have been suffering with acne since fourth grade. I'm a junior now, and for the first time in my life I have clear skin. I tried tetracycline, which didn't work. I was then put on accutane and it is all clear! Talk to your doctor.

on 11/22/2005 Take a towel, run steaming hot water into your bathroom sink, put the towel over the sink so the steam will stay confined, and stick your head under the towel for about five minutes. It opens your pores and makes your face cleanser much more effective!
