Get to a gynaecologist n get tested for hormonal imbalance or thyroid???
Dermatologists just empty ur pocket. just keep 1 of ur topical solution cream n throw eevry other pil or whatever prescribed...
Smile coz an experienced girl is answering here lol...
I would suggest u something better---
Put toothpaste on acnes over night(the one with peroxide or mint works best). After u wash it, moisturise ur face coz it makes the skin dry.
Use a good acne medication twice a day.
Use clay mask or fuller's earth mask twice a week.
Crush neem/mint leaves n put them on acnes for 30 mins everyday.
Splash hot warm water on face for 1 minute n then wipe it with towel. Put heated honey or half spoon honey +4 drop tea tree oil for 15 minutes- do it twice a day.
Dats what helped me :-) good luck
its your hormones and your body changing, try pro-active or murad. although nothing worked for me at that age. i went a derm and got a topical cream that didn't help me at all.
there is nothing wrong w/ u it is so normal I am14 and I don't get acne just a blemish here and there but try like a deep cleansing scrub and use it 2-3 times a day I do that and I hardly ever get a zit...and I just started to use face washes and ever sense then my skin is flawless!!!Good luck and don't let it get to u.... u will grow up and u will be blemish free : )
Nothings wrong with you. It's normal, at this age to have acne. I can relate. I went to a dermatologist and she gave me the same stuff-creams, medicine, etc.--all of which helped not one bit. In fact it made it worse.
This is what helped me:
1) Start by drinking water if you don't do so already. Soda is unhealthy and it certainly doesn't help acne.
2) Eat healthier. Instead of eating that brownie, eat an apple or an orange.
3) Wash your face regularly. Try to wash it in the morning, afternoon (if you can), and evening.
4) During the day, refrain from touching your face with your hands, etc.
5) I use an olive oil based soap. I'm sure you can purchase it from bath and body works, etc. But i'm not positive. This soap helps eliminate excess oil, as well as clears the face.
Don't be hard on yourself. You're harshest critic is yourself. Take it easy.
