Acne cannot be stopped at 100%. Yes, even if you take 3 showers a day, or if you use Proactive or Clean&Clear. It may go away for a period of time, but I guarantee you that you cannot put an infinite end to it. I'm not sure if adults still have it, but as long as teens are teens, you and the rest of the teen population will always have acne. It may be a disappointing answer, but I guess that's how life works. I really hope this helps you out at least a little.

Why do children have bumps on their face when they go through puberty?
Of course not! Most guys do have it though, its very normal.
== == == == == == == == Main cause of acne is the hormonal imbalances in the body. Hormone imbalances are very common in: * Teenagers. * During pregnancy. You should not wait for the acne to take its course as people in their 20s or 30s can still get acne. Many over the counter herbal products are available that are safe. I found the site Best Acne Products that really helped my daughter. The link is below. Good luck. I have an aunt that had acne until she was in her forties,( her face looked to have deep pits) then she began using "Pond's" skin cream every day morning and night, now her skin is beautifully smooth, you would never know she had a skin problem. I'm sure this would work on male as well as female.
A: I wouldn't wait until your 20's. I'm in my 20's and still have it. I'd suggest going to a dermatologist if you aren't already, my dermatologist was a lot more helpful than my regular doctor. Sometimes topical creams work for acne, but sometimes you need to take something orally to help (for deeper rooted/cystic acne). I'm not sure if you're a female, but I was put on birth control and that's made the biggest improvement in my skin. The other oral treatments are antibiotics (which can be paired with birth control) or acutane. Acutane comes with a lot of side effects/risks though, so do your research before you take it. I believe you need to get your blood tested monthly to make sure it's not hurting your liver. Sometimes with birth control or antibiotics you need to play around with the dosages until something works. I also use oxy wash to wash my face, it's 10% benzoyl peroxide. Can dry your skin, so sometimes I use it every other day. Good luck!
What are painful red bumps on the face that look like acne but are filled with clear liquid?
It could be a form of Psoriasis or Eczema,(or just problematic skin) that gets activated by stress or high levels of hormones. Also When you say "painful" do you mean it's sensitive to touch? Hurts all the time? Itches? This could help determinate what it is. You see the skin actually has 7 layers Epidermis (with 4 sub-layers), Dermis, and the Succubus, it's not just the skin you see on top. Thus the problem exists beneath the seven layers. You need a product that will (be trans-dermal) penetrate the 7 layers of skin, work from the bottom up to repair the damaged cells,put the moisture back and restore balance to the skin. The skin needs have a product with no added fragrance, parabens (unnatural preservative), dyes and colorants. Also when you have dry skin it usually is accompanied by itching. The reason is because when the skin is dry the skin cells tighten and produce and itching sensation.
This condition is sometimes caused by microscopic mites.
May 1963 a barber lanced a small pimple on the back of my neck.
Soon after small pimples spread to all areas of my scalp. As pattern baldness progressed they receded to only areas of healthy hair.
I visited many doctors and clinic over the years. Antibiotics seemed to help for a short time but they came back worse than before.
I have lived with this condition for 48 years.
To date I have no answer. A very hot shower helps to stop the itch. UPDATE! 8/18/2012 running the shower as hot as I can stand it for a few minutes three or four times a week I no longer have a scalp problem.
Is acne on breasts a sign of pregnancy?
Many women get acne on their breasts because that area can sweat more than other areas. Acne can also be a sign of pregnancy because of hormonal changes.
Should you get a fringe if you have pimples?
I recommend not to if the pimples are along the forehead, try to avoid having hair all over the face pulling it back actually helps it clear up . Also if you want to rid the pimples without to much effort teatree oil is a great help.
It's probably because you are allergic to something or when you're out and you come back home, you don't wash your hands and you put it all over your eyes, nose and entire face.
