Answers:
don't use toothpaste!.
Drink a good amount of water!. Water helps clear up your skin, and give it a natural glow as well!.
Use a medicated acne scrub to help with black heads!.
Proactive, doesn't always work, but may be worth a try!. It did not work for me though, and dried out my skin a lot!.
There is this product, called Nature's cure, my mom used it, and it worked on her!.
Or there is PanOxyl, which worked on me really well!.
I currently use a strong antibacterial soap, but it would be hard for you to get your hands on, because I got it from my mom's work and she works at a hospital!.
Uhh!. Try that wave thingy, I can't remember what company makes it, but it helps out with exfoliating (which removes the peeling skin you mentioned)
I'd try and see if you can see a dermatologist!. They can give you something to help take care of that!.
If you have started your period already, it may be good to get onto birthcontrol to help out with that!. Since at your age, acne is oftentimes from hormones, birth control can control your hormones, and take care of your acne!.
Also, use your clerasil ultra!. It will help somewhat!. it helped me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi sam,

i don't know how to fully stop the acne however there are a few things you could try


1!. don't pick the pimples,blackheads or spots!.
2!.wash face thoroughly every day with the clearasil (follow guidelines on the back word for word it will get the best results)
3!. try not to wear any makeup
4!.don't touch your face after eating (as grease will create more spots)
5!.Always wash your hands before touching face
6!.don't use toothpaste as it will dry up the spots and cause more scaring!.
7!.eat fruit,veg and drink plenty of water
8!.if you use a moisturizer only use it lightly
9!.when your skin has cleared up carry on doing everything mention as it will prevent them
10!.as well when its cleared up you could us a facial scrub to remove dry skin


hope this helps

You need to keep your skin hydrated by changing your diet!. You should have about a gallon of water a day and try to stay away from the sweets!. You are a canidate for the Wave, by Neutrogena which immediatley removes black heads, with gentle vibraions!. For your dry and pimple filled skin I beleive you should try Profective or any other acnes sythem until you find one that works for you!. And mosturize your skin 4 times a day!. But in the mean time, for the pimples that have already been popped, use cocoa butter!. It really helps to tone your skin!!!But do not put it all over your face because it will increase the risk of creating new pimples, because its oily!. Now until you find an acne system, check out Ulta and get some Neutregena or Clean and Clear, products just to cleanse your face!!! I hopes it workd out :) bye!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have exactly the same problem!. I have it on my back, face,neck,and chest!. I went to the doctors and she gave me antibiotics and a topical solution to put on the skin!. This usually works for alot of people, and although it has decreased a bit, I still get spots so shes referred me to a dermatologist who i will be seeing soon!.
So if you think your acne is really bad and proactive and other products dont work just go to the doctors, and get prescription medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used to have really bad acne too when i was your age on my back, chest and face

i got a prescription cream from my doctor, used clearasil

and also started taking birth control around that time, which really helped!. you can get a prescription for birth control to correct acne, but its kind of a last resort because it has a lot of side effects!.

also drink more water and dont eat as much sugar!Www@Answer-Health@Com

To get rid of the dead skin, exfoliating helps
Do this with an exfoliating cleanser and if you can't you can use rough-like surfaces like flannels etc!.
Different brands work with different skin types but from what you've described I would recommend Proactiv!.
Experiment with the products you have to see which one works best with your skin and just make sure you dont clog your pores!. i!.e wash your face when you wake up and before you go to bed!.
If the problem persists, maybe visit a dermatoligist (skin doctor) who can specifically give you proper treatment according to your skin type!.
Good Luck (:Www@Answer-Health@Com

Toothpaste works by drying out pimples!. The best kind to use is non-flavoured!. You put a small dab of it on each pimple and leave it overnight!.

You definitely shouldn't pop pimples! If you do pop a pimple, you should put polysporin on it to help it heal and avoid scarring!.

Use your clearasil and wash your face twice or three times a day!. Even washing with normal handsoap helps!. Try going to your doctor and getting prescription soap for your body acne!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep your hands away from your face!.Left alone acne will get well without leaving a scar!.If you handle them a staphylococcus infection may start which will leave scar tissue!.Clearasil may help!.Tooth paste has sort of soap effect!.Since you are able to count them you do not need more help!.Try not to pay attention to them,they will disappear in time!.If in the future you have too many acnes,there are specific treatments for such conditions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not only does tooth paste not work but it dries your skin out and makes it peel!. you should try buying something called persa gel or some astrigent from drug stores!. as for your back they have special body wash that has like medication in it so you can scrub it on your backWww@Answer-Health@Com

Dont dont dont touch it with toothpaste, it contains acid and if you have been touching your skin with your hands and popping them then most likely its going to be an open pimple and if you put toothpaste on it its going to burn really bad!.
Try seeing a dermatologist or your doctor and he/she can prescribe something for you!.

Hi Sam!. Wash your face really well and try using that Clearasil Ultra!.

As far as the toothpaste thing, I never tried that!. But I heard that you can put a tiny bit of paste on the acne at night and wash in the morning!. It dries the acne fast!.

ALso drink alot of water

no toothpaste wont work!. Ive tried it before!. they say that it drys them out but all it really does it make your face smell like toothpaste!. One of the problems ive notices is that young teens buy face wash that is said to help and they use it a time or too and say well it didnt work!.!. You have to remember to wash your face every single day!. And more than once a day wouldnt hurt either!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

See a dermatologist!. Also correcting your diet could help if you eat lots of junk food!. And I would try the unused clearasil before toothpaste if you actually have it!.!.!.

Edit- and don't listen to the guy saying to use rubbing alcohol!. That is awful for your skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have Clearasil, USE IT!.

Toothpaste never worked for me!. It just pissed the zit off!.

Get some rubbing alcohol and little pads and wipe your face with the alcohol anytime you go to the bathroom!. It eliminates oil, etc and will lower the amount of acne!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it does a bit :D
but hey, don't worry!.
I'm positive your beautiful just the way you are
you dont need to worry about acne as much!.

And no, if your wondering
I'm not some stupid adult that's telling you these things
I'm 14, and I'm positive your beautifulWww@Answer-Health@Com

drink allot of water for your skin for scars aloe works best if possible fresh aloe i got hot grease splashed all over my face and i broke off aloe stem and put the gew on my face now i don't have 1 scare that shows good luck Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i used to have really dry skin and bad acne so i bought a natural product and it helped and i have never heard of that toothpaste theory before good luck Www@Answer-Health@Com

and go to your local doctor and get a percription for
acne pills!.

I have heard great things about Proactive!.!.!.also, drink LOTS of water, cut out oily and sugary foods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Proactive works wonders! Try it! You won't be sorry!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't pick at it!. If your acne is really bad use proactive or something!.!.it works!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

USE PROACTIVE
NOW!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i've never heard about the toothpaste but u should see a dermatologistWww@Answer-Health@Com

Toothpaste only works in a minor way by drying up the scab and reducing the swelling!. It's sort of an old wives' tale so I wouldn't rely on it too much!.

The cause of spots is oil getting trapped in clogged pores, so you can help two fold, reducing the oil and cleaning the pores!.

To clear the poors the best best is to start a proper cleaning regime using the clearasil you have!. Follow the directions but it usually will say to wet your face and then massage in the solution to a thick lather then rinse it off!. Do this 2-3 times a day, especially after meals and sports!.

As for the oily part, avoid fatty foods, eat healthily!. Try to reduce the amount of makeup you use and clean it off really thoroughly as soon as you can to reduce the length of time it's blocking the pores!. Try to avoid having hair coming onto your face, such as a fringe as this will encourage spots!.

This should help the situation!. If it doesnt you can go to your doctor to get special acne creams!. But it's worth a try doing it the 'natural' way first as the creams arent so good for your skin in the long term!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
