Best way to get rid of zits?

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.
  1. 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.
  2. Renewing Toner
  3. 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.

Does acne turn girls off?

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:)

Rid of acne or pimples?

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.

Does sperm on the face make pimples grow?

There's a good chance that the sperms will breed with germs in your face, as they burrow into your pores to mate with the germs. To prevent this, squeeze your zits and blackheads, along with your chin and sides of the nose. Allow the black, white, and yellow pustules to remain on the surface of your face, before applying the sperm layer. This will allow the sperms to mate harmlessly with the germs all over your face, without actually entering your skin layer.

Good Luck!

Why do mosquite bites itch?

Mosquitoes are a living flying syringes. Not all bite except the female version. Firstly it is good to understand why mosquito bites. This will help us in knowing why the bites itch and what it does when the biting takes place. The female mosquito, when bites pierces the skin with needle like mouth known as the proboscis. So once it has bitten you and the proboscis breaks through you skin and is in effect, it will look for blood vessels and this where it punctures. All this happens very fast than we could even think.

When the above process takes place, there happens slight itching. The entering of its fluids to the body causes it to itch. After the biting is over, there releases Histamines as an immune response which causes swelling in the region where it bit. This is also a cause as to why we feel the itch reaction. There is also an allergic response after the release of histamines which is all natural and is a way how our body protects itself.

Toothpaste is only good for pimples on your face. It dries them out. Toothpaste is not good for the skin. If you do use toothpaste for your pimples use white or clear toothpaste.

It will burn you until your eyes start to water if you do. Also be sure to not leave the toothpaste on for more than 5 minutes or else strong burning will occur.

Does azithromycin make you itch?

I developed small red, slightly raised bumps all over my belly, chest, and back on day four of taking a Z- pak. By the end of the day they had spread to my upper arms and thighs. By the second day of rash (I had not taken my final dose of the z-pak per my doctor), it had spread down my legs, arms, and up my neck. It started itching a little, mostly on my arms and the soles of my feet. Rash day three was far worse. It had spread up my face and developed into splotchy raised red patches all over me, and itched slightly more. I went to Urgent Care and when they heard that Benadryl was having zero effect, I was prescribed steroid pills. Those helped almost immediately! I hope this description helps others, because I was completely panicked as to what I had.ive never reacted this way to a medication before, in over 30 years of my life.
