use soap on your face every day and night in the shower, and take tetracycline pills every night....it will diminish.

By the time you are born, it has been genetically determined whether you are going to have problems with acne or not. Some people will get acne and others will not regardless of what they do. Some will have acne that lasts for a year and others will have acne that lasts their entire lives. If you are one of the unlucky ones, the best you can do is use the methods above to improve your condition, but you cannot entirely cure it.

I have fairly bad acne on my face, slightly less on my back and some on my arms.

I take a gel and 2 creams (names of which i dont remember) but man i hate these, they dry up my skin , make it red, and start the skin to peel. My acne has gotten better over the last year or so, but i still get some, mostly when i dont use my medicine

Ill have to try this water tactic.

Man, you'll be surprised if you drink a fair amount of water. For me it took everything away. It might not work as well for everyone, but it definatly helps alot!

You know what sucks. Acne on the arse (cant say it English style, so I must say it British style). That is what sucks.

Yep those are among the worst. By far the worst I've experienced was when I got this huge zit inside my nose. The skin inside there is so soft and tender when you ever try to touch it your eyes start watering and it hurts like a total biatch. When you pop it its refreshing but for the first few minutes it hurrrrrrrrrts like mad.

Damn, I can just imagine how painful that must be. What a biatch, as you put it. I hope I never get those mofos.

I used to have quite bad acne, but I found that good ol soap n water was the best thing to treat it. None of the special chemical things worked for me. Im sure your will go away with time

I have acne right now but im on Acutane, the most powerful acne medicine out there. But it dries me to hell, my lips get so dry they start to bleed. But thats just a side effect im willing to take to get rid of my acne. Its been a big problem in my family. My brother had it horribly and so did my dad. There both scarred alot. Im pretty bad myself but Atleast I dont get it on my cheecks and forehead, just my chin and nose, really bad.

i thought accutane was banned because of way too many bad side affects?

I used to have bad acne, especially when I was 15 years old. I used to wash my face religiously and use all the pads and stuff, but it didn't really seem to work that well during that period. Perhaps it would have been much worse if I hadn't done anything. But i never did go to the doctor. I probably should have. I knew of a friend that went to the doctor and I guess he got a shot of something. It seemed to work for him.

carrots

Seriously. They have vitamin E, which is good for your skin.

In high school I had acne on my face. Not too bad really but still noticeable. Since I came to college it's gone away, but I still get zits here and there. Drinking water and getting some sun definitely help. If your piss is yellow it means you're not drinking enough water. I've also found that whenever I eat chocolate I break out, so I avoid chocolate.

I realized that dairy products, in any form, gave me acne. I simply stopped eating dairy altogether. Problem solved ever since. Now I will only eat dairy in the smallest of portions, and very rarely, without complications. Actually, since realizing this, I have met several people with the exact same reaction to dairy.

EDIT: That said, you really should look into evaluating your diet and anything else you consume. Keep track of what you've been eating and how your skin reacts. You'd be amazed at what a diet change can do.

I know I never got acne until I joined the military. First popped up in basic training. So, I try to live stress free.
