-pops- Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 There are a number of quite effective acne remedies but the best ones are obtained from your medical practitioner.Pay him/her a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I agree with pops on this one. You should also watch your diet. Too much rich stuff like chocolate is no good for your skin at all. Neither is junk food like Mc Donalds etc. Eat at least FIVE portions of fresh fruit and veg per day, and drink plenty of water. Leave the fizzy drinks alone.

-pops- Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Been speaking to my son about your problem and he agrees with me that you should seek professional help. If your acne is severe you might need the services of a dermatologist.In any case, putting toothpaste on the spots will not do any good and could do the opposite.He made the point as well that once you can feel the start of a spot under the skin, that spot will develop, no matter what you do to try and prevent that happening. What this means is that you need treatment before spots make themselves known and the easiest way to do that is from the inside. There are a number of systemic (tablet) treatments available - all the effective ones are prescription only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Tea tree cream seems to work im not rly affected by it but the odd time if a couple pop out a few dabs of that does the trick i think it works for bad cases if you keep on applyin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
