Acne getting me realy depressed....what do I do?!


Question: I used to have really bad acne. Then I started this diet thing and it started clearing me up. I'm almost clear now, but still hvae a lot of blemishes, preticularly around the mouth. It seems that no matter what I do, I will still always have acne. It something tha won't go away. And i'm afraid, and embarrased to even show my face anymore, even to my family. Nothing helps. On days when I break out or have acne, I don't even want to live anymore, it too embarrasing. I can't use accutane or proactive. I just hate myself, on days when I the acne is hardly visible, i'm so happy and confident, and on days when i do have acne visible, i feel so so so depressed. Is there any treatment out there that will help my acne? Anything?

HI Joen

Here are a few testimonial on how to heal the issue.

EUCALYPTUS OIL
11/24/2007: Vinny (highbury21@gmail.com) from Atlanta, GA writes: "A quick, cheap, & healthy way to prevent and heal acne is to use Eucalyptus Aromatherapy Oil. A big bottle is about $8-9 and can be found at GNC. Make sure you dilute it with water as it is very potent like other oils. You should have very good success with this and should notice HUGE differences within a day."

APPLE CIDER Vinegar AND ALOE VERA FOR ACNE
10/04/2007: Martha from Lawrenceville, GA writes: "I've always had trouble with acne -- I could never get my skin completely under control. ACV helped -- taking it internally -- but I still broke out in a monthly cycle. I started using aloe vera gel on my face a few weeks ago, and my skin has cleared up dramatically. I've not had one breakout, and my skin is getting to be so pretty! I just use a generic aloe vera gel that I picked up in WalMart."



COCONUT OIL AND ALOE VERA FOR ACNE
10/03/2007: Jennifer from Kirkland, Washington writes: "I have been using a mixture of coconut oil and aloe vera gel (4:1 ratio) on my face for my acne for only 2 weeks and it has almost completely cleared it up. I have had moderate to severe acne since I was 13 (I am now 37), and have tried everything under the sun to diminish it. Some things have helped more than others, but this is the first time my skin has felt so good and looked so good in almost 25 years

Why can't you use Accutane or Proactiv? Benzoyl peroxide is a wonderful acne medication and you can get it over the counter in pad form. You can also get alpha hydroxy lotion to help get rid of old blemishes and scars.

Try watching your diet to notice if eating certain foods trigger your acne. Keep your face clean and be sure to launder the pillowcases as often as possible. If the depression is bad talk to your doctor. Good luck.

Why can't you use Proactive? It has many true testimonials.

There are also cheaper version of the Proactive formula available at Target.

lol i use to have acne around the cheeks and i just stopped taking hot showers and eat right and wash your face daily my face is pretty much clear. The blemishes go away in time.

use like every acne treatment you find i used to have really bad acne then i used this one crap and in like a few days it was all gone. i love having gorgeous clear skin!

Try this. It seems to work quite well for most folks. Too bad about the accutane, it really works but it's hell on your liver.

Try sticking to your diet strictly. Or you could use shaving cream or toothpaste. They help acne. Just put some on before you sleep then wash it off in the morning. Drink 8 glasses of water a day and avoid touching your face. If your stressed, find a way to calm yourself down. Being stressed can worsen your acne.
hope this helped
p.s. its the same with me. I feel depressed if i get a spot, escpecially if its before a party or something.

there is a soap that comes in bar form and liquid (well its more like cream) its called Pan Oxy and it contains the highest amount of benzyol peroxide (10%) thats available over the counter it works well but is very drying so if you say its around the mouth i would suggest using lots of chap stick daily and also use vasoline at night on your lips to keep them from cracking and bleeding......also i dont know if your into it or old enough buti dated a guy with that same problem and when he would use chew/dip (copenhagan) it would go away pretty quick.

sorry for spelling errors

But dont worry so much it happens to everyone and a confident attitude takes attention away from any physical imperfection...believe me!!

You could try Proactive. I heard it works great.

i have exactly the same. i would use derma care.
