If the problem is or gets serious enough, see your dermatologist. For serious enough cases they may put you on a treatment called ACUTANE. I went on it when I was your age.. it costs a lot of money, but it WORKS like a miracle. Within 3 months it's all gone.. but the side effects are serious. For example, your skin goes REALLY dry...hope this helps.

Here are some things you can do to help:use somethings that GENTLY scrubs your face like apricot scrub or clean and clear with little scrubbers :). Wash your face with this a couple times a day. Also use something like an astringent (don't know if I spelled it right). You can use both of these anywhere on your body. DO not wear tight clothing and try to wear cotton. The most important thing is keeping clean. You're at an age where your bound to get pimples but you can lessen them a bit. Try not to pop them.Also search Google for tips and home remedies... there are a lot that can help. Good luck

Proactiv. It's not very expensive. The 30 day kit is only $20 and the products meant to last 30 days get me through more than 2 months. It's worth it to try it out. Plus if you don't see results, you can get a full refund. As far as what foods you should eat, everything you've heard I can guarantee are just old wives tales. Avoiding greasy foods won't help clear up skin at all. Staying away from chocolate and sweets won't give you a good complexion. They're all myths; they won't work.

NO, don't use proactiv it will only make it worse, i tried it, it only made more pimples. Try using Oxy. It really works! My skin has been acne free for months. I had acne on my forehead, checks and chin. Try Oxy in the black bottles. The the body wash is good and smell nice, It treats and prevent breakouts. The face wash contains 10% benzoyl (I think that's how it's spelled) and so does the the cream, which you will apply to your face after washing. Benzoyl is a high-active, acne fighting, ingredient that kills acne and stop it before it starts. There are also cleansing pads which you may use after you wash your face. Make sure you wash your face twice a day. It may leave your face a little dry the first couple of weeks you use it but you should see results right away. Plus, it's not so pricey as other acne medication and by far been the best for me. I sure it will do wonders for you as well. Also try to avoid: stress, sodas, bad dieting (chocolate, high candy intake, especially oily foods , and other junk food) and resting your face on your hand may also cause breakouts. So drink lots of water, try not to stress and have a balance diet. Wear only cotton shirts (most shirts are made of cotton anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem) I hope this little advice help. (You can find this product at walmart, kmart, or any drugstore.)
