   I just saw an endorsement on TV by a lady who claims to have had cystic acne. She had used Clean and Clear to completely rid her face of it! Now, this was an advertisement, so move carefully. Check with your physician, first.

   I know some great stuff that is pure, safe, and beneficial. It is 100% botanical and it self-adjusts to your skin. I can get it to you wholesale too! You have to order through an independent consultant, but it is worth it!!! I know lots of people (including my own family) who use it and they get great results. Send an email to mygirltanith@yahoo.com and I’ll help you get it.

   Cystic acne is treatable with Accutane. Unfortunately it comes with a booklet that you (and your parents, if you’re a minor) have to go over carefully, due to side effects (which are many). But I have seen it work wonderfully on most patient. Only dermatologists can prescribe it so you may need to get a referral from your primary care physician to see one.

   It is more troublesome for female patients as she must go on birth control pills (regardless if she is sexually active or not), and if she’s sexually active, her partner must use condom. She also has to get pregnancy test every month, along with other lab works (Liver function test, CBC, complete blood count, and lipids).

   For boys, we don’t have to do pregnancy test obviously.

   It’s not to be taken lightly, but when it works, it really works. Do discuss it with your doctor, please, about the pro and con of this medication (there are generic versions now–a bit cheaper). Never never try your friend’s or get it in the black market.

   Hi,

   You don’t need any meds.

   Try vitamins.

   A good Vitamin B complex helps you maintain healthy skin tone and a deficiency in vitamin A can cause acne.

   Hi
   This easy, effective method uses one kitchen-cupboard herbal ingredient, and calls upon the power of a warm compress to open pores and allow the healing benefits of the herb to work on blemished skin. The compress method is more comforting and quicker to use than a facial steam, but is every bit as effective.
   SIMPLE SOLUTION: Here are the simple how-to instructions to help clear troubled skin:
   INGREDIENTS

   1 quart water
   1/2 to 1 cup dried thyme leaves (for a VERY strong infusion)

   1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove it from the heat and add the thyme. Cover the pan and steep the mixture for 20 minutes, then strain out the herbs and discard them. Let the infusion cool to warm. (You should be able to put your hand in the infusion and keep it there for several minutes without discomfort.)

   2. Soak a clean washcloth with the infusion and wring the excess from it. With your eyes closed, place the washcloth on your face for 15 minutes. Remove the washcloth from your face and apply an astringent.
   good luck
   peace

   DO NOT TAKE ACCUTANE!!!!!!! i cant stress how much accutane hurt your body. accutane have long term side effects, and dont necessarily “cure (there is no absolute cure for all the acnes)” the symptoms; accutane just slow shoot i gotta go. just avoid processed sugar

   EDIT: so yeah, okay. this would only be the case for those with oily skins… your possible problem is consuming sugar. sugar reacts differently to many people. for many people, eating pixy sticks, chocolates, and Cinnabon at the same time wont aggravate their acnes, but for the rest of us, thats not the case. i know because one day when i added chocolate chunk cookie from starbucks to my ordinary diet (which til that day, didnt have any effects on my acnes), and BOOM, blemishes, cystic acne, white heads suddenly appeared the next day. “a little gas, a little spark, and.. BOOM! Big fun!” so yeah, just ignore that quote, i just wanted to say that. anyway, just try avoiding sugar; i know its extremely hard, i know. i went through it, you just dont see any non sugary green teas sold at the vending machines and convenience store now, do we? just from my curiousity, why do girls wear make ups? i mean, they dont really look that good with makeups lol. do i hear low self esteem? nah im just joking ,foo. you must be athletic, thats cool. what do you do for living?
