Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands secrete too much oil. Also described as an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous (oil ) glands, located under the skin. Acne commonly referred to as pimples spots or zits. When a person suffers from facial acne there is no hiding it. Acne begins to affect several body part, face, back, neck or chest.

Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adult hood. Most of the time acne will disappear by themselves at the end of adolescence but if acne becomes severe, it should be treated to prevent scarring. If acne appear in adulthood may be a sign of hormonal imbalance or drug toxicity.

Question by Colin R: What can I do to avoid my acne medication from bleaching my pillowcases and shirts?
I use a medication with Benzoyl Peroxide for my acne. It has bleached out my pillow cases and some of my t shirts. I’m going to stop using it because I’m getting new sheets. Does the medication have a half life should I be worried about it bleaching my new sheets if I haven’t used it for a day?
and will continue to not use it.
I dont have a major problem just about anything works, I need to know what wont bleach things.

so im 17 years old, and have a very bad acne problem. I get the worst ourbreaks. I have NUMEROUS scars on my nose from it, i get about 5-6 big ones and 20 small ones. Im brown skinned and it makes me look worse with my aftershave. I need help, im tired of having acne. I’ve had pimples since i was 12 and they just seem to get worse and worse. Everyday one dies, but two grow. please they really hurt me physically and my self-esteem. I’ve tried everything, clearisel(misspell) and many other products. Ive been to a dermatologist, and even took prescription pills and no luck. I’ve tryed many over the counter products no luck. I dont know what my causes are, i know i have an oiley face but is it that oiley? and a question to any man reading this, this is real embarresing to ask, but does masturbation enhance acne?

i have some acne on my face but mostly on my forehead. My skin is pretty oily (but of course mostly on my forehead) I have a lot of stress and try to cover it up with makeup but that doesn’t seem to help. Ive tried a lot of different acne treatments but none of them work, can everybody with the same problem as me tell me what drugstore product works best for them? thanks so much!

I use Dermatopix to wash my skin at night and I also use Ziana. Doctors say it’s good to use this stuff, but I feel like it’s unhealthy. It has helped my acne a little, but in its place I have dry, discolored skin. Is there a way I can simply drop the medications and use natural remedies? Or will it only make my skin worse?
Thanks so much for the help!

I was prescribed an acne medication called Clindamycin + Benzoyl Peroide (generic form of BenzaClin) and after about a week of use my skin is starting to flake. I was told this might happen. How long will this process take?

i have cystic acne and i’ve started this new thing called nutrition response testing, just curious as to how many people have had good results with clearing their cystic acne.

I have suffered from Cystic Acne for quite some time now and I dont know what to do about it.I have been to the doctor but I get discouraged when I dont see anything working.If you have dealt with this issue can you tell me how you dealt with the issue.What medication worked the best? Thanks
