To wake up and find a huge pimple on his or her nose or in another very prominent spot is every teenager’s worst nightmare. For them it is the absolute end of the world and they couldn’t imagine a worse thing.
Unfortunately for them it could get a whole lot worse. One word is guaranteed to send shivers down every teenagers back: Acne.
For any teenager who suffers from severe acne, the condition can be even more devastating that an occasional pimple. Severe acne, we are talking about the kind bad enough for a person to seek out medical advice, is reported to strike about 40 percent of the population. Teenage boys tend to get severe acne much more than girls, but the condition is equally damaging to both and can cause both psychological and physical scars.
Acne is a particularly cruel condition that attacks its victims on 3 different levels:
1) It makes them feel awkward and self-conscious as the breakouts occur.
2) It can make them the centre of jesting, joking and ridicule from their peers.
3) It can leave scars that will act as a permanent reminder for the rest of their lives of the condition that embarrassed and humiliated them years in the past. These can have a deep psychological effect on the sufferer even in adulthood.
Avoiding the effects of acne isn’t always possible, but there are definitely things that can help. For the average acne sufferer simple over the counter medications are all that’s needed to do the trick, but even then, trying to figure out which one and how long to try it for can be a chore in itself.
If you are a teenager or the parent of a distressed teenager who is facing acne for the first time or are just facing their first breakout that’s bad enough to warrant medicine, there are a few rules to help making choosing an over the counter acne remedy:
Here’s what to do:
· The first thing that you need to do is pick a medicine. Whether the treatment is a cream, gel or pad, you must go with the one that has the least amount of medicine first. If benzoyl peroxide is the chosen medication, pick one that has a concentration of about 2.5 percent. Don’t choose one over that limit. As long as the medication doesn’t cause severe drying or irritation, keep using it for about two months.
· Next, when two months have passed, examine the situation. If the medication seems to have worked, keep using it. If not, try a higher dose. Two months may seem like a long time but this will give the treatment a real chance to do it’s stuff.
· Rinse and repeat.
· If the over the counter remedies, even at higher doses, show no signs of working, it’s probably time to enlist professional help. Going to a doctor for acne is a sensible thing to do if all else is failing. The doctor will be familiar with all of the current drugs available for severe acne sufferers and will prescribe one to suit you. Don’t panic. In the majority of cases your acne will clear with over the counter products.
Remember, if everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked, a doctor might have the solution. Treating acne is highly personalized and not all medicines will work for every person all of the time. What a doctor can offer may take time to work. Your doctor will be able to monitor your condition and adjust the medication to suit you.
You’ll grow out of it, don’t worry
how long is a piece of string?
It depends on many things.
I had acne and acne scars up to the age of 36.
whatever you do, do not use harsh chemicals and make sure you cleanse using a good make, I recommend Clean & Clear daily cleanser.
Fresh Orange juice and vitamin A & E really are effective.
avoid spicy and greasy food and most important of all avoid stress.
Hope this is helpfull.
actually their is a oil glands in our face & back, so firstly u should eat food with low oil… & for scars apply some mixture of 1 table spoon of honey with a 5 drop of lime juice on it. remain it on ur face for 1 hour.. within 15 days u feels a lot of difference… & also use G&H LOTION from AMWAY…
Well, what I’m doing is applying Benzoyl Peroxide 5%. My doctor prescribed it for me, and it works! The only thing is that the first four days burn and itch and it takes 3 months to show extreme improvement.
You can also try growing out if it, but that takes FOREVER. I’m 15, and I’ve had acne since I was 10; I should know.
There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
