Although many people suffer from this condition only during the teenage years, pimples can occur throughout adulthood, depending on your hormonal activity, heredity and hygiene. Some people have more severe cases of pimples than others and might need to see a dermatologist for drastic improvements.

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!
