I'm plenty old into the acne stages and I barely have any....my friends are always asking "what the heck do you do!?" ....shower?

 

 

 

My brother uses clearisil and it works with him...or atleast he thinks so :twisted:

 

 

 

 

 

Algebra is awesome compared to freakin Geometry!

Just a curious question, is popping zits an effective way to remove them? My mom says it causes multiple zits to appear around your face. It sounds reasonable, because when you pop it, the oils inside it spill nearby on your face and, in my limited assumptions, might perhaps cause more zits. Is this true?

Luckily for me i was never a sweaty/acne induced person, although a good friend of mine still is, hes REALLY bad but its natural i think because hes the most cleanly (is that a word?) person i know. I recommend you wash.

 

 

 

Begone, ye ignorant swine.

 

 

 

Washing your skin/hair too much can actually make acne worse, which is why some people's cases get more elevated than they should have, which was probably my case. If you wash all the Sebacious oil off your skin, your skin wants to replace it, so if you wash too much, your skin will start over-compencating, making TOO much oil, starting a vicious "omg oily skin! must wash!" cycle that it's hard (rather, impossible) to get out of. Sweat has absolutely nothing to do with acne, either. Infact, if anything, sweating helps because it naturally cleans your pores out.

 

 

 

What I find funny is that you completely ignore the fact that your friend is clean but still has acne, and rather than go "oh, wait.." you instead continue on with stupid myths and insult everyone here who's ever had a pimple. Good job, champ.

 

 

 

Wow, calm down, i can tell your face must look like a pizza has hit it. Actually if you had read my post, and not gone into a hissy fit you'd see that i said i was NEITHER sweaty or acne induced, i didn't even say if my cleanliness contributed to me not getting spots. I only said that i recommended he wash is because i implied the use of those acne removal things in washing. So actually read my post before you go into a sad little rant, splurging out your entire knowledge on acne before you even read what i said.

 

 

 

So you can be gone, back to a world where people actually read before posting.

You should never pop them - For one, they have a chance of scarring, either hyperpigmentation (temporary) or various permenent scars. And yea, it can spread bacteria but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to, like...Shoot a pimple-spore onto your face which will grow into another pimple, haha. It'll push the infection down into your sub-dermal layer aswell, making the pimple itself even worse. But yea, you should avoid popping them at all costs. It's never a good idea. If anything, you should very carefully lance them with a needle and let it drain itself. This, I also do not recommend, as you can still gets scars doing this...However, it is better than popping, but emphasis on "still not good". Lancing them, if not done in completely sterile areas (doctors office, pretty much...) can lead to Staph infections, which will make you WISH it was just a pimple. Just...Leave them alone, lol. It's much better for yourself.

Trust me, petty fool. Anyone here could see very well what you meant by your little post. You're not fooling me or anyone else by going back on it and trying to explain your idiocy.

 

 

 

Perhaps you'd be more believable if you didn't once again use more stereotypes (pizza face? please...) to insult me? And if you must know, my skin is 100% clear, hence why I am helping others do the same using my knowledge. Knowledge...You know, the thing you have none of? Righto. Half of the normal posters here, give or take, know what I look like, and anyone who's added me to MSN has seen my face. I'd gladly post a picture here anytime you'd like. Just get admin approval, captain!

I thought I had a breakout on my forehead that didn't go away for a while, turned out to something worse when it appeared on my back and arms :(

Wow, the irony, me going back on what i said? you seem to be doing a poor job of that there. LOL "Knowledge, that thing you have none of", i wasn't even taking this seriously, with my pizza face comment, but you obviously are. Ok, you're arrogant, you need to step back from the fact that you make a hideous post that attacked me for no reason. i'm glad i've hit a nerve with you because you're obviously a volatile person who seems to have branded me stupid because you can't understand what i'm saying.

 

 

 

The funny thing is that i wasn't insulting you, if i was insulting you i'd have upset you, i'd have not made an irritated post due to your random attack on me but now i'm angry and im not insulting you, want to know why? Because i'm not going to rise to the utter [cabbage]e that you're throwing at me, you don't even know me so don't bother pulling out an insult on my intelligence out of your [wagon]. You'd have been better off not posting that because, although i don't know who you are i now dislike you, and thats not something i hoped for when i had a look at the "off topic" forum.

 

 

 

If you're going to get into an argument with me, kindly respond in pm, i don't want to mess up this thread.

Why does everyone think that since this is the internet, I am barred from judging your character based on your posts? I don't have to know you personally to know you're an idiot.

 

 

 

Your first post clearly said that you've made the connection that sweat causes acne. "I've never been a sweaty/acne prone person", you say. That's correlating that the two are directly related.

 

 

 

So apparently, you throw more dumb on your post and say that I *MUST* be a pizza-face since I have knowledge of acne! How dumb can one get? How many dermatologists (people who know acne better than ANYONE) have probably never had acne? I'd say MANY. Infact, I know a dermatologist personally and he's never had acne! Oh snaps! Apparently having knowledge on acne doesn't mean you have it! Now you can argue that me getting angry over your stupid-assed comments means I must have acne, but have you ever considered that I just hate stupid people are who inferior to myself parading around as if they know something? Yes, perhaps THAT is why I do not like you, hmm?

 

 

 

And yes, I just said you're inferior to me. You saw correctly. I am *THAT* arrogant because I can be.

Crush up some aspirin and make a paste of it with water then put it on any pimple and it will dry up quick. Or you can put ice on the pimple to reduce swelling.

Demonstrating your inability to read once again.. i said quite clearly "please pm me this" but your massive ego can't handle that eh? You have to try to get the last word even if it means breaking the rules of the forum and getting the thread locked. Bravo for being a selfish little child. I'll respond to you here because its more civilised, other people don't have to deal with you having a hissy fit.

You're trying to tell me what i posted? I know what i posted and you interpreted it wrong, fair enough i'd let you get away with that but you're still being arrogant (theres that word again, its such a good one to describe you) that you think you know what i mean more than i do. Well heres a bit of truth, you don't.

No, they were different points, i read earlier in your posts that you said you had acne, there we go, i find it hard to imagine that you're sad enough to read books about acne if you had never experienced it. If you do then i feel a bit sorry for you, but hey, i'm not going to judge you like you seem to judge me.

 

 

 

And yes, I just said you're inferior to me. You saw correctly. I am *THAT* arrogant because I can be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now this is an example of how you've flown off the handle and literally can't admit that you're wrong. You can't not be wrong but i haven't responded to you in a patronising way or anything. This whole argument stems from you misinterpreting me, i am the only person who knows exactly what i meant, not you. I have said that you've misinterpreted me but oh no, you can't let it go as a simple misunderstanding. You have to continue trying to tell me that you know what i mean and i don't. Erase the chip from your shoulder and apologise, i was perfectly happy for you to have a flame at me for not understanding my post but now you're just flaming me when i've told you how you didn't read my post right.

 

 

 

Please don't respond today, wait till tomorrow if you haven't already run off in your hissy fit, because i find it hard to believe that anyone can be as volitile as you have just been. Its extremely disrespectful to someone else and i don't like to see it when i visit a forum.

 

 

 

Apologize for your idiocy? No thanks. You know very well what you meant, and I won't accept any cop-outs from you because you've realized your moronic ways of thinking. How about apologizing to yourself for using stereotypes without being educated?

 

 

 

I said I *had* acne, by the way. Past-tense. Few years past-tense.

 

 

 

I barely read your PM because I'm sure it's more rambling about how I misinterpereted your post (I didn't, thanks.), and I also don't talk in PM's. You're lucky to get this. I'm only sending it because you're too much of a coward to post on a topic. Do you know why? Because you know you were wrong and you don't want to continue it in the post. Who CARES if it gets locked? I surely do not. It doesn't matter one bit.

 

 

 

Post in the topic, don't PM me again.

 

 

 

 

 

His pm. I'm surprised how idiotic that was, from your grammar i can tell you're quite clever, but you seem totally blind to possibly being wrong, or even apologising. I'm going to make a little assumption here, you crave the attention of an argument, you crave the sad little feeling inside that you're right and everyone else is wrong. Well i hate to throw reality on you but you can't always be right. And on this occasion you are wrong, you misinterpreted me on a 2 line post and attempted to force me to argue with you. I'm better than that which makes me better than you, better than your ignorance to other people. Good-day.

For the last time, I misinterpereted NOTHING. Anyone can read your post and come to the same conclusion I did as long as they're not as big of a [developmentally delayed] as you are.

 

 

 

And yes, I can always be right. I don't open my mouth unless I know I am. Why would I bother talking if I could be wrong? Apparently you're so attuned to posting before you think, that you believe this to be the norm! Umm, not for me, junior.

Then I got to puberty. I hate acne. No matter what I use, I can't seem to get rid of it! Its not like "Oh my gosh look at her face bad!" but its just enough to drive me friggin' nuts! Does anybody have any products they use that work really well? Or even home remidies that get the job done? I know all skin types are different, but if it works for you, I might as well try it, I have nothing to loose. :wall:

 

 

 

I thought you were going to say "then I discoved calcules". Which I don't mind by the way, but I havent done much calculus yet.

Have you seen a dermatologist? I only have a few zits and she gave me 2 creams that are working magic.

Tigra and Select shall proceed to hug immediately.

 

 

 

And as for acne, all i can say is grow it out. Around a few years ago my forehead was covered in zits for nearly a year, and nothing seemed to help. Now I only have the occasional pimple. Which is good, since I'm rather sweaty and hairy. :oops:

 

 

 

I wouldn't trust those chemical concoctions for my life. Seriously, I'd ask a dermatologist before applying one of those vile cocktails on my handsome exterior. 8-)

I don't know how it might be called in the US, but benzoil peroxide works wonder for me (although I've heard it might dry your skin if it's sensitive, it doesn't happen to me).
