I have had acne since I was 13. It did go away for awhile but recently it has come back really bad. I wash my face and back everyday but it seems like its just getting worse.

I do not have a lot of money to buy acne treatments, so I am wondering if anyone knows of any good at home treatments.

My brother has bad acne on his back and i want to help him out does any body know how to get rid of it? like home made remedies..or like stuff you can get at drug stores etc.
thanks

Please dont say Pro-Activ cause I have tried it! I’ve heard
Toothpaste-
Alcohol-
Honey w/ Oatmeal-

Does any of these work?
Some people say the toothpaste thing gives you twice as many pimples!
OmG please HELP!
DOES IT COST MONEY TO GO TO A DERMATOLOGIST? AND WHERE DO I GO TO SEE ONE?

I’ve had acnes and they left scars everytime they healed. Is there anyway to clear up those scars? I’ve also tried lots of products out there but nothing seemed to work at all Did anyone have acne scars and succeed in diminishing them?

What exactly causes it?

I know over 100 computer programmers and I have to say every one I have met, fits the stereotype it is almost comical.

Extreme High voice or extreme non-understandable strained mumbling
Beard (including women)
Ridiculously sweaty
Acne
Ridiculously excessive Blinking
Stuttering
ugly (pretty much)
Complex technical jokes
Emotionless
Homosexual (only joking)

I’m trying to figure this out. I have mild-very mild- acne, so after checking out and reading articles with the use of homeopathy, naturopathy, western medicince, ect, I’ve come to these possibilites of causes:
1. Hormones – Puberty especially…testosterone may be too high which messes a whole lot of things up with sebum production I believe??
2. Liver isn’t functioning right and some how testosterone is converted into DHT.
3. Way to many androgens in one.
4. Yeast-Candida overgrowth in gut.
5. Skin reaction to clorine-Cloracne
6. Parasitic activity in one.
7. Leaky Gut Syndrome is causing food things (lipids?) to leak into bloodstream messing up skin.
8. Way to much sebum coming out of ones skin.
9. Stress
10. Genetics-predisposed..but how–hormones?
11. Iodine-may be expelled through skin.
12. Adrenal problem.
13.Fatty foods full of saturated fats/trans fat causing the oil to be dirty.
14. Wiping/touching face with dirty hands a lot
15. Impure blood so to speak…(liver problem)
Out of room, that’s all I can think of..maybe I’m missing something. So lets see..things that may help:
EPA/DHA from fish/flax oil
Zinc, Vitamin A, B-complex, no dairy, no starches, probiotics, superfoods, unprocessed, no sugars, herbs: chasteberry, dandelion root, burdock root, saw palmetto, milk thistle, oregon grape root…Skin topicals: oatmeal or rasberry…Apple cider vinegar too.
Lots of water, sleep, don’t touch face,

C’mon what else am I missing??

ok there is this MASSIVE red sit on my cheek.. impossible to pop, ive tried everything. it doesnt want to go away. so i took this Clean&Clear stuff i have that dries up oil on your face and held it in this spot. it stung a little and now looks white so im assuming it dried it up, but since it wasnt on my whole face, should i worry about more acne appearing?

I’m on my 8th day and my face started breaking out. Has anyone had the same side effect with this medication?
