What to do about terrible blackheads?!


Question: What to do about terrible blackheads!?
You're probably thinking of telling me to search the web because this question has been asked a large number of times, but it seems that I cannot find help!. I've tried everything under the sun - nothing works! I've used steam, cleansers, pore strips, masks, scrubs, EVERYTHING! I've used many different brands and am desperate! Any type of product - you name it, I bet you I've tried it unsuccessfully!! The only thing I really haven't done is get a facial - I can't afford it!.

When school starts up again this year I'll be in HS!. I'll be a freshman, and I hope to start out with clear skin!. I have had terrible blackheads and mild pimples for years, and for once I would like to feel confident and happy!. I'm tried of being known as pizza face! I feel terrible and I just want clear skin!!

Can you suggest anything to help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can you afford a dermatologist!?

I think you need prescription drugs such as antibiotics, Differin, Retin a!. You don't need accutane, your skin doesn't sound too bad(no severe cystic acne)!.

Good luck!

Well it really isn't fair, but it's genetic and you just need to accept it!. I've had acne for 7 years and I'm currently on accutane!. Like 4 years ago I never got cysts or nodules, but like within these past two years, I did!. And I was sick and done with acne!.!.it's depressing, frustrating, really messes up your self-esteem!. Acne taught me patience, optimism, and to be more accepting/nicer to people regardless of how the look!. I tried everything in those 7 years!.!.absolutely everything(I became vegan, I exercised, drank a lot of water, took all sorts of supplements to improve the appearance of my skin, tried sulfur, benzoyl peroxide, salycic acid, Murad acne complex, Proactiv, Differin, Retin A, antibiotics, some topical cream my doctor gave me, egg whites, vapor!.!.etc)!.!.!.!.and nothing worked!.

Good luck! Be optimistic, always keep a positive attitude *what really helps is realizing that there are people with acne that is way, way worse than the acne you have!.!.and you are pretty lucky to not have it as bad as them! :)

Deann m may well have the answer for your problem!.
It is a part of growing up and we all went through it in various ways!. It sounds as if your skin is too oily, so Deann's idea could work!.
Chemists do sell small extractors, but remember to heat up the area around each one to open the pores before using one - they are effective!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
