I read some old threads and it seems like NS has nooo idea what this shit actually is, no offense.
1: Your diet WILL NOT affect your acne AT ALL. All that "no chocolate, pizza,
sugar, milk" talk is total bullshit. The only thing that might change it a
little is the fact that sugar is an inflamatory, so taking all sugar out of your
diet will make it slightly more inflamed. If you're a slob and get stuff all over your face when you eat/ drink, that may be causing breakouts.
2: If you have acne, GO TO A DERMATOLOGIST! They know what they're doing. Don't believe that proactive will work, nor anything else you see on TV or online. Everyone has different skin, and it's best to see a professional.
3: Washing your face A LOT with SCRUBS such as soapy shit with beads in it is BAD. Irritation makes acne wayyy worse, so use something gentle for about 10 seconds 2-3 times a day.
4: Popping zits / facepicking is nooo buneo. If you have a big whitehead on your chin and just can't live without poppin that bitch, do so with a disinfected needle and gently push your fingers around it with toilet paper or tissues on your fingertips. If you start bleeding, STOP! It will only spread bacteria and make the zit worse.
5: I have to say this again because most are ashamed of their acne. GO TO A DERM! They will help you so much, I swear.
6: If you can't afford to see a derm, I advise reading up on http://www.acne.org/ this site helped me out a ton when I refused to go to a derm because I was so embarrassed.
7: Accutane... It's bad shit guys. Yeah, it wil most likely clear you up but I've read too many stories and seen to many pictures of bad aftermath to ever want to try it myself.
8: Zinc is your friend! Don't take more than 50 mg though, you will most likely die :D...or get sick
9: If anything claims to "WOOOHOOO ACNE FREE OVERNIGHT!" or "ACNE FREE IN THREE DAYS BITCHHHH!" its lying. This stuff is hard to deal with, and if you want to make it out without scars and END IT forever it's going to take the right procedures and most likely 3-5 months. But isn't that so much better than living with it ANOTHER 3-5 months? Think about it... It's not that long.
10: Tooth Paste. It works for LITTLE SPOT TREATMENTS but DO NOT!! DO EFFING NOT! ever use "whitening/multistrength" bla bla blaaa you know it. Use straight up ghetto PASTE. I mean, it's gotta be thick yo. Also try the asprin acne trick... Look it up on youtube.
I hope this helped you guys struggling with the gayest shit ever. And I didn't post this with my regular profile... Why? Because this thread is anonymous(e) bitches.
