I’m looking for the best treatment before I pay for something that doesn’t work.

I know there’s many advertisements and products on the market stating that they have the best solution, but they all do that so I cannot really be sure. I want an opinion from the public so I am hoping teh Yahoo Answer community can help me out. I am getting minor acne \breakouts throughout my face and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for really good solutions/products. I use Neutrogena Acne Oil-Free Stress wash or something but it does not help that much. Please help me <3

I HATE acne. I am sick of it. I want a good facial cleanser or cream or whatever that ACTUALLY gets rid of acne.

Is ProActive or SkiniD any good?

Thanks for the help.

I have very dry skin with large pores, black heads, and mild acne. What can I use that is over-the-counter and works? I know that everyone’s skin is different and what worked for you might not for me but I’d like to try them to see what happens. I might find my answer here. I’ve tried going to a dermatologist and all of their stuff is too strong. I’ve tried Proactive and it didn’t work. Price isn’t an issue.

Also which foods should I avoid to prevent the acne from getting worse?

i have acne all over my forehead and i want to know whats the best way to get rid of acne or/and any tips to reduce it

if u recommend an acne treatment tell me why its ur opinion

For the most part, I have pretty clear skin. I only get acne in spefic spots, mostly in the T-Zone (nose and above eyebrow area) and when I do its only one or two pimples. Does anyone have any remedies for the occasional pimple? I’ve heard tooth paste works, but it also dries out then skin so…

Home remidies and store bought products are what I’m looking for, nothing that requires a dermatologist or a prescription please!

after i workout i sweat alot and that causes my back to breakout, just looking for a wash to prevent and cure that

i have had 2 babies and acne returns each time. only gets better in pregnancy. tried over the years many antibiotics, the pill, creams, chinese medicine, homeopathy, all failed. acne returns when stop.dont want to take roaccutane cos too many side effects. tried evening primrose oil – made acne worse.

If you are not in the medical field or studying medicine or have not experienced these symptoms as well, then please don’t give your input. If you know someone that has had these symptoms, that is acceptable, I am willing to hear anyones opinion except from those that have no idea what they are talking about or have something nasty to say.
I have a long list of symptoms; I am not a hypochondriac; I don’t have insurance so I can’t see a doctor about it right now.
I have nearly all the symptoms of Lupus and Cushings Disease, but my previous doctor last year dismissed my concerns and diagnosed me with Poly cystic Ovarian Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Hepatitis B. My PCOS diagnoses was just him saying he’s sure I have that because of some symptoms. I had blood work and my ovaries came back just fine, yet I was still diagnosed with PCOS anyway.
Ok, symptoms: Daily fatigue, awful back and shoulder pain, upper body obesity, a rounded face, increased fat around the neck, and relatively slender arms and legs,bruises easily, and heals poorly., never developed breasts, no period for over a year (I’m 25), thinning hair on scalp, but hirotism (excessive body hair), stomach discomfort, urine smells very strong of ammonia without signs that it’s a UTI. Dark circles under my eyes, excessive thirst, bright red cheeks, diagnosed with osteoperosis I’m 25!!! skin problems including frequent acne around my chin (I never had acne as a teen), Depression & Anxiety, Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms (the excess production of keratin, creates a goose-bump appearance), boils and bumps on butt, now a rash on my butt! I know I sound disgusting, but please don’t make me feel worse than I already do about myself. Please help me out if you are familiar with these problems… I’m sure I have other problems that I’m not contributing to the list, so if you want to ask if I have other symptoms, please ask and I will answer asap.
Thank you both for your responses, however – I have already been tested numerous times for thyroid problems and they function very well. As for diabeties, my fasting glycemia level is 79-80, so I’m nowhere near diabeties, I’m closer to hypoglycemia, but not that either. As for meningitus, I was also tested for that a while ago and that was negative. I have Hep B. so that could explain a liver problem, since Hep B eats at your liver when in flare. I was told to keep an eye on a stomach rash or soreness around the liver, which I don’t have. So I’m not concerned about a liver problem right now. Anyone else have any ideas?
My BMI is high, it’s 27. I am just below obesity, which really sucks. I used to be very thin and active – age 20/21 I was 80lbs lighter and much more active. Over 5 years I have gained 80lbs and pain has overwhelmed me to the point where I am not as active. I play with my son and I am a postal worker – so I get mild/moderate exercise, but at the end of the day, I’m wiped out and in pain. For osteo – I consume a lot of Vit D and normally take supplements. Lupus, I was unaware of the plastics! I am constantly drinking from plastic bottles and cans without washing. I only run my fruits & veggies under a cold tap for maybe 30 seconds before consuming… so I guess that’s bad. Steroids, I can’t recall ever taking any – but it’s possible.
