I am a coffee addict so I'm probably biased. I have acne, but I believe it came about due to the thyroid medication I'm on. I'm not sure. Before I started that medication for my thyroid I never had acne. Then again I never used to drink coffee either.
However I read somewhere on the internet that the coffee itself may not aggravate your acne but it is the milk in the coffee that does. All dairy products are supposed to aggravate your acne apparently.
Somewhere else I read that recent research shows that caffeine might actually be good for your skin. It's a diuretic, a vasoconstrictor and has lots of antioxidants. Apparently it can help tighten your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around ure eyes and stuff. Again I'm not sure about any of this, it's just what I read on a couple websites a while back.
I don't have the web pages for them otherwise I would have posted it up.
Hope this was helpful.
Answer
P didy used proactive and said he still had bumbs so was going to sue proactive. They said it was because he was drinking caffeine and sugary drinks and that is what caused it so he didnt sue them and stopped drinking the caffeine. Personally i don't think milk really agravates acne if anything its the caffeine in the coffee so i don't think coffee can be a big role in causing acne, if you already have acne though it can maybe aggravate it

Yes. Eating foods and taking supplements rich in omega 3 can heal acne.
If you have pimples are you ugly?
Of course not! Pimples come and go, a lot of people get them! Saying people who have pimples are ugly is very silly and quite hurtful. A super model could get a pimple and that wouldn't mean she was ugly. In my eyes no one is ugly.

Is it normal to have acne at age 10?
bcoz they feel like ruling da whole world nd also they want everythng in da world., possesiveness causes ot happen so.,
Yes as the hairs grow sometimes they can get stuck causing bacteria build-up. My boyfriend has a clear face normally but as his stubble starts growing back he gets a few small spot on his face. To cure this exfoliate your face daily with either a rough sponge or flannel to get rid of dead skin and oil so the hairs can grow thro smoothly ( do not use normal hand soap bars, as it drys out the skin)
There are no foods that will prevent acne as such. But foods that are high in vitamins and minerals and low in fats and sugars, particularly fresh fruit and vegetables, will encourage healthy skin and minimize skin problems.

How can you treat blackheads under armpits and in the inner thigh?
Theres a chance that if you have blackheads in your armpits and inner thigh areas that you MAY have a condition known as Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Google it and read up on it, it may help. Independent studies have shown Acnezine is one of the top two effective treatments for acne. People that have used Acnezine have said things like, "I used to be so embarrassed about all my pimples that I had no social life at all. Nada! I could hardly even make myself go to work, and I didn't have any friends there.
Does washing your face make you lose your tan?
I dont think it should because I myself have tan lines on my face from wearing goggles in the pool on holiday. My tan lines haven't gone which is quite irritating to be honest. Washing your face shouldn't make you lose your tan. It's like burning a piece of toast, washing it won't get rid of the burnt bit. Hope I helped. (:
How do you get rid of pimples within 1 hour?
It is not easy to make a pimple go away in a few hours. If it is a small one and you are lucky, it might. If it is not so small, you just have to follow some steps to help it go away.
- Don't put any make-up on it, unless you need to (if you are going to a party or something). It is better to keep make-up off it though.
- Keep oil off of the pimple and around it (and sweat)
- DO NOT SCRUB THE PIMPLE with anything, cleansers, water, soap, ect.
- Do not use all kinds of cleansers on it
- Put hydrogen peroxide with a Q-tip
- Pick one (it is not good to use tons of different types of cleansers) type of cleanser and use it as directed, by over-using it, it could possibly make it worse
- In the morning, afternoon, and evening put more peroxide on it and regularly clean oil and sweat off of it GENTLY
- Again, DO NOT SCRUB THE PIMPLE OR PUT ALL KINDS OF CLEANSERS ON IT!
- Let it go away naturally and DO NOT PICK IT, IT WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER TO HEAL AND LEAVE SCARS
It is not very likely for a pimple to go away in a few hours. If you follow these steps and tips and let it heal naturally, it should go away soon, (and if you are lucky, in a couple hours, possibly!).
Is there anyway to get rid of pimples forever?
Yes, it is possible to not have pimples though probably quite rare. By maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, drinking plenty of water and keeping your skin clean, you can greatly minimize the occurrence of pimples.
How do you get rid of a bump on your forehead overnight?

What are hard lumps on outer thigh?
Hard to say without more info. such as age, medical history, current meds, etc. Also would be easier if I could look at it, touch it etc. If you are on birth control pills or have any circulatory problems, it could be a superficial blood clot, which needs to be seen by a doctor immediately. Many other possibilities, so get it checked out.
Does soda pop give you pimples?
It does for me. Soda, Alcohol and anything with a lot of sugar. As soon as I drink it I can expect to see new zits forming later on or the next day. I had to eliminate all of these from my diet. SUCKS!
Typically baby pimples on head results from the presence of lingering maternal hormones, just as newborn acne. Infantile acne or infant pimples is more severe than neonatal or baby pimples. Typically babies with infantile acne develop yellow papules on the face, usually on the nose and cheeks. Other types of acne including comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pustules also develop. <A HREF="http://www.babypimples.blogspot.com">baby pimples</A>
What happens if you inject a needle in a pimple?
It would either open by itself, or be cleared by the body through sweating and/or the working of the lymphatic system. It will go away on it's own- do not pick it or it will scar and just become worse.
What type of laser do they use in an acne laser surgery?
The type of laser they use in an acne laser surgery is non-blative with blative meaning high heat. Some darker skinned patients have benefited from radio frequency with the laser, to prevent scaring.
Squeeze on lemon juice and rub into skin.
Another answer:
Don't pop it. I use a product called On-the-Spot recommended to me by a friend who was a model. It is Neutrogena and has worked flawlessly (pun intended) for me, sometimes over night. The active ingredient is 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.
Answers from other contributors:
- Begin by purchasing a skin care system. It doesn't matter if you are a girl or a boy, face washes are for everyone. Try ProActive or Clean and Clear. Start by washing your face morning and night. Don't touch your face often either. This will spread dirt and oils on your skin, clogging up the pores, causing more pimples. Also, try using a facial mask at least once or twice a week, to deep cleanse your pores.
- Proactive works well for a lot of people but everyone has different skin, my friend used it and half her zits were gone and her acne was the worst I've ever seen in my life.Try it, it might work for you. Also I use these acne pads from Olay and they work so well, especially if you take a rag and put very warm water on it and put it on your face for a few minutes to open up your pores first.
- Mary Kay Acne Treatment. When you stop using it, your face doesn't breakout again. You should use it as much as its directions say. The soap may sting, but it's just cleaning.
- I use Proactiv Solution. It is the best way to cure exsisting acne and helps to stop it from forming. You will see great results in just a few days.
- DO NOT USE PROACTIV! IT MAKES YOUR FACE "ADDICTED" to it and when you stop using it, it makes your face break out! My friend used it and it was HORRIBLE when she stopped!
- Don't use bleach. It burns your skin and when you stop using it, it makes you break-out!
- I use Vichy it works well!
- Neutrogena has a lot of good acne products that work well. Also, you shouldn't say that a product doesn't work because you might have a different skin type than other people and it could work well for them.
- If you wear makeup, try the oil free kind. This will keep the pores from clogging. Also, wear a sunscreen when going out. This will help clear it up too.
- I just wash my face everyday with soap and water. Use warm water to wet your face and then use a soap that will not dry your skin out and then wash for 3-5 minutes and then rinse with cool water to close the pores up so no dirt or grime gets in there.
- A good & working acne product is AcneFree. This is a 3-step process that has steps 1 2 and 3.
- Purifying Cleanser You can do it stick to one program and don't stop until you get what you want and that's a zit free totally clean smoth face.
- Renewing Toner
- Repair Lotion.
I must say that I am currently using this product and that it works well. This product is available at Wal-Mart in the face wash cleansers next to the make-up section. If this product does not work for you, try other products until you find the one that's right for you.
- Or you can skip all the confusion and wash your face with soap day and night and don't touch your face at all. Use soap that does not dry your face.
no its doesnt, to some girls it does but if you are yourself anyone can see past it
Girls really don't care as much about looks. They care more about personality. If I had the choice between a gorgeous guy who has the personality of a rock, or a guy who wouldn't be classified as hot or has acne but makes me laugh till I cry I would defiantly go for the guy with acne. Don't worry there is someone out there for you:)
You could pick up an acne treatment at any local store, such as Proactive or Clearasil.
That works but you also need to kepp your face always clean. Don't touch or play around with your face, wash it at least twice a day. I play basketball and my face is sweaty a lot, this opens up the pores, but then you should wash it afterwards to clear away the dirt and grime.
