i am 15 just joined swimming class 3 week ago i small red pimple lower arm near wrist and lower leg dosnt hurt its just itchy what is it and how can i get rid of it|||I%26#039;m pretty sure it%26#039;s just body acne. Take care of it like any other pimple.
If they don%26#039;t go away within a week or two, see a doctor though, it could be a rash.

I heard about the wonders of neutrogena that it can cure pimple fast... which type of it is good???
tell me more about it as i need to deal with my irritating pimples... or please do recommend from your experience ...thanks...|||SInce i was in sixth grade i started to get pimples. I had acne by 7th grade. My parents coulndn%26#039;t help me since they %26quot;NEver had acne%26quot; so when i asked them to buy me acne products they told me %26quot;IF YOU WANT A PRETTY FACE THEN USE YOUR OWN MONEY%26quot;
I went from noxcema, to oxyclean, to stridex, to clearasil, to Johnsons and Johnsons persa gel, to Proactive, to MUrad, then to Tetracycline...then finally to minocycline and Retina micro.
By this time i had small acne scars here and there. Retin-a Micro did make me break out but it stopped my acne in about
2 months, but by then the initial break out you have to go through gave me a lot of marks.
My suggestion is if you have acne then treat it first with atibiotics such as minocycline this helps to lessen inflamation of pimples (this starts to work in about a month) then by then you should use retina micro...this way your initial breakout is less imflamated and you should reduce acne pigmentation.
but that is just my theory.
By the way i hate acne and even though i clean my face everyday i still get it. I am one of those who is just battling and ****#n pissed off at acne. I also heard that birth control pills may help against acne that is due to hormones being all over the place.
But I will tell you this there is one product i will reccomend to you. There aren%26#039;t any miracles out there you hear me, no miracles. Understand that clearing a pimple from your face takes time and effort. A pimple%26#039;s life is about 2 and a half weeks long.
The only product that worked the best for me other than prescription drugs was Neutrogena On the Spot Acne treatment , this was the best over the counter product i ever used. THe secret is that unlike clearasil that uses 10 percent benzoyl peroxide which in fact just burns the hell out of your face, neutrogena uses 2.5 percent which will sting but it shouldnt burn as much as clearasil.
I recommend you wash your face only 2 times a day morning and night, and also after exercises.
And use a light moisturizer that doesnt clog your pores. I use the aveeno ultra calming moisterizer.
O and by the way you will have to buy the good stuff in order to see results. none of that cheap stuff. I recommend shopping at walmart or target.
Use a gentle cleanser in the morning such as Aveeno%26#039;s Ultra Calming cleanser or Purpose facial cleanser(purpose is for really sensitve skin) and if you are serious try to find a cleanser with the lowest Salicylic acid percentage. I have only seen 2 percent in the market but if you find 1 percent or 1.5 percent or others then buy them.
any questions then email me.|||Hey,
Where did you hear this tv or magazine by any chance??
I read about it in a magazine %26amp; thought i%26#039;d give it a go, it made my skin horrible really dry flakey red and didnt even stop the pimples. I tried it for about a month %26amp; a half then switched back to my old stuff, i like tea tree oil from body shop, this line is great %26amp; much more natural|||I have seen many people go through sking problems, i have only ever had a few. I am 16 and have great skin. The secret to great skin is cleaning it. Use Loreal, for they have a three step thing which works - cleaner, toner, and moisturize. Do this two times a day. Morning and night. Also dont wear makeup. It clogs the skin, making pimples worse.
Water is a very important part of keeping your skin clear. Drink about 2 ltrs, and if you are working out make sure you shower after. Dont eat to much chocolate and unhealthy food. It isnt good for you.
I hope this helped you.

I have this HUGE pimple on my nose!!! how do i get rid of it fast?
hot compresses to bring it to a head...
swab with a skin toner and don%26#039;t put your fingers on it until it is ready to pop.....|||Depends on how fast. If you are going out in an hour, then use only ice packs to bring down any swelling and try to cover it up. Even use ice when you are out if you can do it when no one is looking.
If you have more time than that, try a hot washcloth which will bring it to a head fast and you then can extract it. Put on some talcum to stop any oozing. When you get ready to go out, wash your face and try some cover-up.
Good luck.|||Chill it with some ice, dont wprry about it, just wash your face|||take alot of baths and try to scrub it

How to make a pimple go away faster? anyone?
use a fresh cut lemon. Rub the lemon, leave it on for a few minutes then wash off.... it really works.....|||I have heard toothpastes helps but I don%26#039;t know if that%26#039;s true, don%26#039;t worry about it.|||Put antibacterial ointment on it.|||It sounds to me like you%26#039;re a guy, but anyways, I know something that can get rid of zits in three days... No it%26#039;s not Clearasil. If you%26#039;re willing to, and if there%26#039;s a Kohl%26#039;s near where you live, go to the cosmetics section of Kohls, and ask for something to get rid of your zits. I think they should have it. But becareful where you put the bottle, it%26#039;s pretty small.|||tea tree oil or spefic pimples gel^^|||Don%26#039;t pop it... that can cause scarring.
How fast do you need it to go away?
I was told to put hot compresses on pimples, and this does bring them to the surface and make them heal quicker, but it can also make them bigger and uglier, so if you need it to go away quicker I would suggest hiding it under some good makeup.|||Put alcohol on it, then a really steaming hot towel, hold it on there for 15 seconds then put toothpaste over it. I%26#039;m pretty sure it will swell down in a few hours if you continue that rutine between every 30 minutes.|||Try the clean and clear daily moisterizer REALLY WORKS!!!|||wash your face, dont TOUCH it at all... cover it up with makeup that wont make you break out make sure its NONCOMEDOGENIC then you know its safe, and then within a week it should fade.|||Try a dab of Toothpaste.
It%26#039;ll dry it out %26amp; help it heal.
:)|||I personally use clay mask. Try also toothpaste.|||Hot steam (be careful not to scald your face) and warm compresses will draw the infection out faster...|||Tea Tree Oil.
Vitamin dept at Target.
A little dab is all it takes.|||my honduran neice in law told me this in tenn. and it worked over night. a little bit of white toothepast directly on the pimple. it dries it out. if you put too much, youll know it, it%26#039;ll burn your face and will be worse than the pimple. only a touch and right on the pimple too...

If i have scars on my face from just scratching a pimple or something and made it bigger, will it ever go away
lets say its been like a month or two and its still there!!!! its pretty noticable :( sometimes it seems as though it is fading but the next day, nope, its just the same old scar|||thats why they are called scars.
no they don%26#039;t go away.
fade maybe but not disappear.
stop picking|||There is a product called PreVention-AT Advanced Scar Therapy that reduces the appearance of scars from acne,abrasions,burns,surgery and stretch marks . You apply it 3-4 X a day for 3-6 months. It is under $20. It has CoQ10 Antioxidant. It promotes tissue repair. I got it at C.V.S. Good luck!|||nuetrogena makes a scar fader product

Am running 19 now and i have lots of pimples and pimple marks in my face...?
i feel so embarassed about it that i never face anybody comin in my home...i don%26#039;t know what to do...please help me.|||I had the same problem. My face is finally starting to clear up(I%26#039;m 20) You can get some cream that reduces scarring for the marks and for the acne itself just use normal bar soap to clean your face. Using acne washes actually promotes acne, because it clogs your pores and puts chemicals into your body.|||If you have mild acne use a product with %26#039;%26#039;Salicylic acid%26#039;%26#039; in it, it will make you shed your skin evenly to prevent pore clogging. If you have moderate to severe acne first wash your face with an antibacterial soap and then use a product with %26#039;%26#039;benzonyl peroxide%26#039;%26#039; this will help with you acne but make you more sensitive to sunlight so be careful not to burn. I takes two weeks for the results of using a new product to show so be patient. Also don%26#039;t pop any pimples because the white pus is actually White blood cells that are fighting the infection, by popping it you prevent your body from helping you and you spread the bacteria. Also take a daily multi vitamin that helps with skin or hormonal issues, it will most likely contain zinc. Do you face routine twice a day and it will help alot, also eat all the veges you can especially tomatoes, good luck :)|||If you%26#039;re a guy, I%26#039;m afraid you%26#039;re gay!
If you%26#039;re a girl, just put some anti-pimple lotion or cream, there%26#039;s millions in the market, your pimples will go away in a couple of days. Keep your face clean, wash it often, that%26#039;s all you need to do. Plus, you%26#039;re nineteen, a couple of more years and you%26#039;ll never have pimples in your life again.|||i have had terrible problems...
well whatever you do! dont start taking pills from your gp thats ur last resort the best thing for you wouldbe too go to your local herbal shop.
and buy some flaxomega pills,fishoil pills,hormone balancer, bio zinc tablets, and evening primrose oil pills.
take 2.5mls of hormone balancer everymorning when u first wake up,
take 1 flaxomega pill in the morning and 2 at night,
take 1 evening primrose oil at night,
ask for a reccomended dose of fish oil and when to take it,

Also every morning have a glass of water with a squeeze of lemon in it as it detoxes the body.
Drink water at regular intervals like 3-4 glasses a day.
you have to take your pills everyday!
if problem persists go see your GP they can give you some drugs to control it but it wont solve it the herbal remidies will, alos if you are a female and you dont see those pills helping ask your doctor if you can go on the jasmin pill it dose wonders for your skin!

Very sore lump on back of leg,very painful,LOOKED LIKE PIMPLE,NOW BIG RASH, HELP!!!?
a couple of days ago i noticed a pimple-like lump on the back of my upper leg,it%26#039;s really painful so last night i decided to squeeze it, some clear puss came out and this morning i woke up with a big red raised rash kind of thing around the sore, it is about 7cm wide
and i have no idea what it is, anyone know?
let me know asap.

Also, many folks have had good luck taking Hydrogen Peroxide and using a small container to hold the stuff on the spot for several minutes, If you see fuzzy bubbles that%26#039;s good...
Of course I am not a doctor - but I would think that applying some Neosporin to it for tonight might be helpful... that is what I would do...|||you need to see a doctor, it sounds lke a spider bite or a tick bite, either way you can get a blood infection from it.|||Sounds like a spider bite, staph infection, or carbuncle (cluster of infected hair folicles).
