Well you havent gotten your period yet but you ve been having discharge for like 6 months to a year and like last week you started getting tons of pimple and you usually dont get pimples at all also y?

Sounds like you're in the midst of puberty. As your hormones sort themselves out you'll get pimples, discharge, tender breasts (as they grow), and your period. If you're concerned about your development you can talk to your doctor (they know all about it) or pediatrician. Puberty isn't fun, but at least it happens to everyone.

What to use for acne on cheeks and chin?

You could use Nail Polish remover, which is very effective and makes spots disappear in under 4 hours, but if you have fair skin then i wouldn't use it as it may burn your skin slightly. You can use just the original soap and water method; this can work wonders if you keep it up! After washing with the soap and water you can splash extremely cold water onto your skin immediately afterwards; the hot water opens your pores and the soap cleans all the dirt away, then the cold water makes sure there is no soap left in your pores and closes them. Hope this helps!

Should you let your pimple go away by themselves?

It depends on how big the pimple is or how long it has been untended and is still growing. If it is only a small pimple then they do tend to just disappear with the simple aid of daily face washing. However if they are big and have been untended to for at least to a fortnight you should browse your local town for cleansing foam or gel. However if you have been tending to it for ages but it is only getting worse you should leave it be for a while because if you put too many chemicals on it you could make it worse and it could become a scar.

Is acne curable or not?

In my opinion, there is only one way to cure it. It's called accutane. Other drugs will make it not come out but when you stop them the acne comes back. Accutane will make it stop forever. Accutane is a derivative of vitamin A. It is called isotretinoin.. I think? It actually shrinks your oil glands. I started taking it November 9th, 2010. It is now January 19th, 2011. My acne is now almost ALL gone. I had it on my cheeks, chin, forhead, nose, back, and chest.

The only thing bad is the side effects. It is possible to get organ damage. It can permanately mess up your joints... or so ive heard. While on the medication your skin is unbearably dry and flaky and scaly. All you have to do is apply lotion (NON-COMODEGENIC... this means non-clogging). Your doctor will explain all this. This drug is dangerous and is government regulated. Someone accused accutane made his son commit suicide. It was said accutane can make you depressed and have suicidal thoughts. For me, this is not the case. I am not going to have suicidal thoughts when my face is the clearest its been since I was like 12.

If you consider accutane, you need to visit a dermatologist. He will make you sign a bunch of papers and then make you come back for another visit. He then should give you a prescription (This is how it happened for me). Then you can start your accutane cycle. You need to go back every month because it is a serious drug and it is a harmful drug. The dermatologist will give you a certain dosage depending on your weight, height, and how severe your acne is.

... This is how it happen for me. It may be different depending on your doctor.

Now... Your doctor may not give you accutane because it may not be bad enough. There are other options that can make acne not come out. If these options work your doctor will probably not give you accutane. ACCUTANE IS JUST THE LAST RESORT.

An excellent natural alternative to drugs can be found by reading a book called The Dietary Cure for Acne by Professor Loren Cordain. (If you don't want to buy it, you may be able to borrow a copy from your local library). This dietary cure is scientifically proven to clear acne. It recently came into being (within the last few years) through the research of Professor Cordain. It has apparently worked for thousands of previous acne sufferers. It is backed by groundbreaking research that was published in the major nutrition and scientific journals.

How do you quickly get rid of a cold?

Admit it or not, those irritating signs you're having are part of the normal healing process—proof that the immune system is grappling with the disease. So, if you have a mild fever for a day or two, you can actually get healthier much quicker. Coughing is yet another positive side effect. It clears the breathing passages of the thick mucus that blocks and transfers germs to your lungs.

It's essential to blow your nose frequently when you have a cold rather than snorting mucus back into your head. Salt-water rinsing also helps to break down nasal congestion while also extracting virus particles and bacteria from your nose. Keeping warm and resting is the key to recovering fast when suffering from a cold. It helps your body focus its resources on the immune battle. This battle taxes the body. So give it a little help by resting. Gargling would further moisten a sore throat and provide temporary relief. Gargle with half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in 8 ounces of hot water, four times a day.

Along with these steps, I always use Bipha Ayurveda's Agasthya Vyoshadi Vatakam to curb those germs as fast as possible. I suggest you try out these cold relief tablets along with all these instant cold relief remedies.
