My boyfriend refuses to see a dermatologist (mainly because a: he hates doctors and b: we don’t have the money). I’d really like to know any home remedies or OTC things that would help or get rid of his acne.
By acne I mean, hard pimples beneath the surface, they are impossible to ‘pop’ and rarely go away and lots of large bumpy skin colored patches of blemishes, as well.

I am tired to go to the dermatologist , I tried several acne creams but none work. I am 23 and I really need to find a treatment that help me remove my acne scars. I tried home remedies for acne and none helped me. Any suggestions on some acne treatments? I can’t afford laser acne treatment so please don’t mention this option to me. Thanks

Recently I’ve been taking extra good care of my face. I’ve been putting warm washcloths on twice for ten minutes a day. Exfoliating once a week. And taking vitamins.
I have noticed an improvement in my deep under the skin acne. The only problem is now, I have a whole bunch of black heads just popping up.
What should I do?

Also How can I control my stress, because it gives me that deep acne.

I use prescription acne medication everyday, but I enjoy using face masks on my skin. Should I still continue to put the medication on after my mask or should I just wait for the next day?

I have cystic acne on my back. I developed this when I was in high school and I used accutane to stop it. For some reason it returned not as bad but it’s there.

I have a LOT of small bumps, probably blackheads or whatever, and the occasional large pimple, and I don’t know what to use because my skin is really sensitive. Proactiv made my face burn and hurt very, very badly, and I turned bright red and for a week or so people were asking me how I got so ‘sunburnt.’ And I’ve already tried prescription acne medication, didn’t work well.

I put money in a flexible spending account, and it’s about to expire, so I was looking up what over the counter meds and whatnot I can buy so it’s not wasted.

It has acne medication listed as an eligible purchase. Does this include things like Nuetragena facewash? Stridex pads? Or is it more limited than that?

I didn’t know it was a no no to use acne medication high in benzoyl peroxide in the sun. I was in jr. high at the time and so now i have wrinkles and fine lines on my forhead. It looks like I’m sunburnt! I’m not looking to see a dermatologist but I am willing to get regular facial treatments at the spa. I just need to know which kind of facial will benefit me the most.
