My best friend told me about a situation about placing a hot wet towel over your pimples or painful ones like cystic acne, and I thought it would be maybe a good idea, but not really sure. Has anyone ever done it before? If so, how long do I place the towel on my cystic acne to reducing it and make it better? She told me to do it for about a minute or 3 mins. once a day.

She also told me that it’s better to do it before washing your face to open up the pores to get the acne treatments in more better. Is that true?

For the last few months i’ve been using the Tea Tree Oil Face Wash & Toner from The Body Shop b/c I have oily skin. I started breaking out by my chin a week or so ago & so last night I used the Neutrogena ON SPOT treatement on the acne on my chin AFTER I washed my face and used the toner. This morning I woke up to my chin being this color pink (So yes my face is currently discolored!!). I;ve used the Neutrogena ON SPOT treatment many times before & have not had this problem. I’m thinking that the face wash & toner does not go well with the acne treatment.

Any solution on how I can get my skin color back?

ok so i have acne on my face and i have had it for liek 2 years now and i used liek all kinds of acne treatment like proactiv and neutregena products so like benzoyl proxide and that salaic acid stuff and i also use noxema to to try and help and that seemed like it kidna work but not really .. so now i heard that like puttting honey on ur face then leaving it on for 15 mintues then washign it off really helps cleaning out the skin….. does that really work or no? and and body have any other ideas i can try to help with my acne?

I’m 14. I got my first period a year and 3 months ago and i haven’t gotten another since then. My aunt (a doctor) advised me to go to a doctor for ultrasound. So today i went and found that i have:
Bilateral poly cystic ovaries with infantile uterus of normal endometrial pattern and thickness.
and
Both ovaries show central and peripheal small follicles all of less than 5 mm, no free fluid is seen.
Small sized uterus ( 4.6 x 1.6 x 1.6 cm ) with regular contour. No focal lesion. Endometrial wall is 2 mm.

So I’m guessing my case isn’t very serious. But i want to know, can it get serious?
I’ve just read some things about the syndrome, like symptoms. I’m not obese or overweight or even slightly chubby. I do have acne, but its not serious either, more like frequent breakouts that 14 year old usually do have. For all my life, i thought I’m lucky, to be so healthy…
So what’s the treatment? shots? pills? how long? or is there nothing i can do about it..?
Is it likely for me to be or become infertile?
Will i gain weight?!?!?
What does it mean that i a have a small uterus?? Is there a cure..?\
So just give me as much information as you can please, of what i should be expecting and anything that may help with anything.
Thanks,
Dreamer

did you used any product that workerd on you??? if so plzzz tell me. i have alot of acne scars. it looks bad. ive tried several products but it didnt work!!!

Well I had perfectly clear skin! I had gotten ride of ALL my body acne and everything(it is very mild) Well lo and behold my monthly visitor came and now i look like crap! I have recently 2 days ago switched to the St Ives apricot scrub and for the body acne I was using the neutrogena facial scrub as it worked very well for body acne but am now using the neutrogena body wash. Should this do the trick in taking care of my hideous breakout? What spot treatment would you recommend?

I need to know the quickest way to get rid of back, chest, and shoulder acne.
not by laser treatment of w/e
any recommended soap?

(I use bath and body works spray to eliminate it, because it has alcohol in it, but it doesn’t work that fast)
Help!

I have been on proactive, differin, OTC products, and other strong topical acne medicines. I am a freshman in high school and i have had acne (cystic i think) since the 6 grade. Right now i am on tazorac and amoxicillin with avar cleanser and NeoBenz micro to put on top of the tazorac for about a month. It worked for like the first week and a half and then it made my skin worse. It has not changed too much. The doctor recommended accutane but it is expensive and has lots of side effects. Should i go on it?? Also, the doctor said laser treatment might work but im not so sure.. Do you have any recommendations or other products that may have worked?? Also if u were on accutane or had laser treatment can u explain how well it went?? thank youuu!! It is really embarrassing to have acne in high school and it makes me really sad =[[ .. it really is a horrible thing to deal with..
