What can you use to help pimples go away?
I know toothpaste works for me. I have acne prone skin and have been looking for a solution since elementary school. Toothpaste always seems to work on the small pimples. Just make sure it's original toothpaste. Not bubblegum flavored or anything like that. Apply it with a Q-tip. Don't use your fingers. That will just spread even more oils and bacteria to your face. Let it dry a little before going to bed and the next morning wash it off. It may not be gone but it will have dried out and be smaller. Don't stop there, keep using it every night for good results. Keep your skin clean from any oil or dirt, you can put some alcohol (you should have some for any cuts) and if there is a white dot squeeze them, but if they don't come out, put alcohol and leave it like that.
There is no easy way to get rid of pimples, they are a fact of life for many of us. However, one way to combat pimples is to use oatmeal as a washing agent. Simply take oatmeal and mix with a small amount of warm water. Use this to scrub your face with. This will remove not only dirt and dead skin, but also oil, without harming the skin itself. After washing, rinse well with warm water, then to tighten pores, rinse again with cool, NOT cold, but cool water. Remember to keep from touching your face thoughout the day, avoid heavy, oily makeup, and wash your face at least twice a day, at least once with the oatmeal.
Most people often overdue the "drying out" part, or scrub & squeeze it too much, which can make it even more red and angry. The following is best to do at night, when you won't be putting make-up on or anything:
1. After you clean your face, put the hottest water you can on a washcloth, and hold it to the pimple. After a minute when it starts to cool down, dip the corner of the cloth back under the running water, and do it again. Repeat this a couple times. It will open up the pore. 2. Decision time: If it has a white head or point, give it a squeeze. Don't overdue it, but get out what you can. If it is just humped/round, don't bother squeezing- you'll just irritate it more. 3. Dab with something to dry it out- rubbing alcohol, lemon juice, vinegar, (or over the counter acne treatment.) 4. Leave it the heck alone. At most, dab with drying agent again right before bed. In the morning you can do the hot cloth again, and a little drying agent, but lay off of it until it seems to be getting flakey/dry in that area. Don't skip your moisturizer, but don't use a greasy kind.
If you have acne all over your face, you can do a steam for your whole face like this: 1. Make sure bathroom sink is clean. 2. Get hot water really hot and keep towel ready. 3. Rinse out sink so porcelain is cold. 4. Get sink filling up with hot water. 5. Bend over sink (or chair in front) with face over water and towel over head and sink, "sealing in" steam. 6. Do this until water starts to cool off, or you get really bored. At least 5-7 minutes, longer if you like. Do this after cleansing but before toning, drying, or moisturizing. I am always amazed at how much smoother my skin tone looks after this- so it's nice to do before going out, but the real point is opening up your pores so the gunk can get out, and the stuff your applying- like toner or drying agent - can get in.
How do i get rid of my pimples on my chest?
Pretty much go through the same routine you use on your face. Your chest, like many other parts of the body, have pores that can get oily or clogged, especially if you sweat and wear a shirt all day. Keep your chest area clean by washing it down with a wet cloth when you go to wash your face and perhaps use some facial acne cream on them just like you would your face. You should see a big difference. =]
What is one way to treat acne scarring?
ANSWER:
Use Proactive. Definitely.
ANSWER:
There are a number of ways on how to treat acne scar and pimples:
1. Laser Acne Scar Treatment - a type of skin resurfacing treatment that uses laser surgery. Two types of laser therapy:
Ablative lasers - removal of the top layer of the skin by burning off the scar tissue. This encourages cell reproduction resulting to minimized appearance of scars. However, healing takes longer and patient is more susceptible to infection because the skin is exposed. Most common procedure is the e-YAG laser resurfacing.
Non-ablative lasers - does not involve removal of the topmost skin layer, thus it is safer and healing is much faster. However, several sessions are needed to for this treatment method to be more effective.
2. Scar Removal Cream and Oils - much cheaper than laser treatments or surgical procedures, these are topical solutions that would help remove acne scars. They come in two forms:
Acne scar cream - popular brands and products include Zenmed Scar Treatment Kit, Bioskinexfol Microdermabrasion Scar Removal Cream, Mederma Gel.
Oil - essential oils that help in treating acne scars such as jojoba oil, lavender oil, olive oil, salmon oil, Vitamin E, and tea tree oil.
3. Natural Treatments - home remedies or concoctions which may be effective for some, but may take a while to produce noticeable results. Examples are:

What causes pimples on breasts?
If you have pimples on your face or other parts of your body, it is probably the same cause, but if you only have pimples on your breasts, then it is probably because there is too much inpure oil on that area, or you use clothes that cause even the smallest portion of oil to be absorbed and captured by your skin.
In addition, make sure you keep your bras clean. You shouldn't wear a bra for over 3 days.

How do you get rid of dry skin around a pimple?
(I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT TRY AND READ IT!) Right heres the thing, if you really want good advice read this. I know I've been there, my skin is just a mess right now! Its dry, it hurts, its covered in acne and I feel a mess. Why is it like this, simple: Over drying acne treatments and home remedies, oh yea and to much fatty, oily food. I've had this obsession with home remedies for the past few months and I swear I'm kidding myself I'm getting good results. My family have noticed slight wrinkles under my eyes (I'm 15) and my face is really chapped (the cold doesn't help). Do not not not ever use home made face masks, or really any if you can help it. They are seriously tempting but please don't! They over dry and heck does it trash your skin, I have no idea where to turn but these are the only natural ways for dry acne prone skin: 1. exercise, this helps circulate blood which repairs skin around the body. Don't go over the top though. 2. Drink water, this is debatable but honestly, 6-8 glasses of water a day nourishes skin. 3. avoid hot or cold water, luke warm opens the pores and soothes skin. 4. MOISTURIZE I honestly can't preach about this enough, some people say it clogs up but honestly theres nothing better than moisturized skin (try some oils in there aswell, research it up if you like). 5. Apples, and oh god to they work. Do not ever do fasting! I've tried this and the second you begin eating normally it reacts really badly, don't believe what people say about this, your skin may look good but it hurts so you'll be in pain after it! 6. never stop eating foods and feeling guilty, stuff like chocolate, or chips. There good, you know don't cut them out completely cause you'll end up like me, feeling bad for eating a small block of chocolate. :/ 7. finally cut stress out of life and sleep more, this helps. I really hope these work for you, honestly though please note what I've said, things out there are really tempting but its all down to your body and genetics.

Can a 4 year old get facial acne?
Well, I guess it's possible. Most likely not. You don't start getting acne when you're 4, you start getting when you are growing your breasts and your first ever period starts! But not all girls get acne. And some guys get acne because they eat TOO MUCH junkfood a day!
Whats the fastest way to get rid of a pimple?
It takes time for a pimple to heal but some over-the-counter products can help. Resist the urge to pick at your skin, it will make the breakout worse.
Washing your face twice a day with an oil-free gentle cleanser can help prevent breakouts. Treating your skin with an acne treatment can stop breakouts but it may take a few days. Most major over-the-counter acne treatments feature one of two ingredients: benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If you are a woman, use an oil-free concealer to hide blemishes.
If breakouts continue, see a dermatologist about prescription medicines (topical and oral).
How do you get rid of pimples without cream or popping them?
Most acne is caused by repressed anger. Try punching a punching bag agressively, hammering nails into a piece of wood, chopping logs, or anything that involves hitting or kicking with your hands or feet, even hitting golf balls.

How do you cure acnes and pimples?
I have found though experience that acne has so so many causes, to name a few:
-STRESS!!!
-Genetics
-Nutrition/Diet
-Exercise
-Dry Skin
-Chemical In the water
-Picking, touching of the face, resting your forehead on something
-Dehydration
Depending on age sometimes in your teens it can be a lot worse as you body is going though changes and maturing.
I have found that it takes extreme measures,
First get a routine going, don't over wash your face that can dry it out, wash your face no more than twice per day. Depending on where you live get a shower filter for the water, there is all kind of chemicals and garbage in the water nowadays, I notice in the winter when our town puts more junk in my skin gets worse. I use dove soap with 1/4 moisturizer and then use some natural oil free lotion with vitamin E.
Eat a balanced diet, become a nutrition freak, if something hasn't been on the earth for 10,000 years don't eat it, they put so many preservatives, chemicals and garbage in food nowadays.
I drink green tea for its antioxidants; there are lots of antioxidants so some research. Free radicals can build up from stress of all sorts and take over your system just like a disease.
Start getting physically active, it relives stress and so much more. Devoting a small amount of time in the gym, or your home gym, can make a world of difference to your overall health. Find a good quality routine, there are lots out there, just be careful of what magazines you look in. I even know of a guy who is giving away a free routine for short amount of time.
Don't roast yourself next summer or you will have bad skin all winter. Although exposure to sun can make your acne get better at first it has negative long-term effects, use lots of sunscreen.
Be careful what products or systems you use to wash or treat. Lots can over dry, think back years and years ago before they had a whole section of medicated acne washes and creams, was acne way worse back then? Look at a national geographic video of tribes people, they don't have modern medicated acne face wash and treatment systems, let alone a really good soap, do they all suffer from acne?? They must know something we don't or be doing something different. Hmmm maybe it's the food or modern day stress or what our society has become or believes.
Eat as natural as possible, clean and healthy.
Also with products I use, if I wouldn't feel safe eating it then I try not to put it on my skin, whatever goes on the skin absorbs into your system.
The first main cause is STRESS, working at eliminating stress is a habit that takes time, and stress is really a matter of perception, work on perceiving situation differently. Also do the fitness thing, spend time doing cardio, lifting weights, etc.
The main thing that causes it for me is focusing on it, its best to just forget you have it. You get what you focus on, the laws of attraction. Instead of focusing on it all the time and thinking " I have bad acne and I don't like the way it looks on me and I wish it would disappear", stop looking at it in the mirror, pretend it isn't even there, don't give it a second of your time. Although this sounds really lame, but believe me it's very powerful, every night before you go to bed and first thing in the morning imagine yourself having perfect skin, what you would look like and how you would feel. Just get a routine going, drink lots of water (not straight tap water!! use a filter and check with your local supply to see what chemicals they put in it and if the filter will work, even if you get bottled water some companies get the water from the local source :-( and declair it "spring water").
There is a lot of info, but this is enough to cure anyone, its mainly stress and chemicals in garbage food and water nowadays, have to go, don't think about it as complicated, just do all you can and then start perceiving yourself differently, not as some who has acne, but someone who doesn't have time for acne.

What are some good treatments for rosacea?
Scientists have found a link with Rosacea and a skin mite called the Demodex Mite, rosacea sufferers have an abundance of these mites on their skin than people who do not suffer from rosacea. Although it is not actually the mite that is causing the reaction but the bacteria in the mites faeces, and as the eight legged arachnid has no anus, they just feed and feed on the sebaceous glands, storing the waste in their gut until they die, where the body disintegrates and all the waste is released into the pores of the skin, causing inflammation.
