How do i get rid of present severe acne and and scarring?

i have been troubled with acne for 10yrs.i am now 21.i have severe acne and various pock marks, pit marks and so one....i have tried almost everything.proactive, murad, acnefree,........etc.





could someone please tell me what to do in terms of home remedies and over the counter medications.How do i get rid of present severe acne and and scarring?
Since I don't have insurance I had to find a remedy for the same sort of problem myself.





I am 35 and just recently developed acne...I think hormonal changes are to blame. I found that every acne product I used made it worse. I tried Proactiv...no help. Nothing with ';Acne Free'; and the acne soaps or cleaning pads caused break-outs even worse.





Here's what I found that worked. A friend suggested using Tea Tree Oil. It is a natural remedy for acne (among many other uses). It's a natural anti-microbial so it will kill the bacteria causing your acne. I use it once a day before I go to bed. My friend bought be a tiny bottle off the internet for $5. By the looks of it, it'll last me 6 months to a year of daily use. I only use 2-3 drops on a cotton pad.





In the morning you will feel a tad oily on the skin, but it's not too bad really. Therefore, in the morning I use Witch Hazel to reclean my face. Witch Hazel is also a natural product which cleans your face like alcohol, but without the drying effect. It's also a toner and astringent. I have currently used this treatment for 2 weeks and no more break-outs! You can find Witch Hazel at any drug store for about $1.50





Another important change I made was to keep my hands OFF MY FACE. Your fingers are very dirty and they can worsen the problem. This is a tricky habit to break because, as I know from experience, you use your hands to cover the acne. And picking the acne makes them worse and spreads the bacteria...another tough habit to break.





You sound like me. The acne treatments (Oxy, Neutrogena, etc.) are making it worse. Perhaps the natural remedy is the way to go for you, too, if you have sensitive skin. Just make sure you don't have allergies to Witch Hazel or Tea Tree Oil. They are both derived from plants so there is always that possibility.





Try this before seeing a dermatologist. It may save you a BUNDLE!How do i get rid of present severe acne and and scarring?
To be honest what you need to do is go to your dermatologist and get yourself some Retin-A creme and minocycline. The minocycline will prevent new acne while the retin-a will help with the scarring. You will peel like no other when first starting the retin-a.





As far as over the counter stuff, they can somewhat help with new acne provided your diet changing as well to limit the greasy foods that you eat. Some of the facial scrubs are good but I don't know if any of them help with scarring.
Sorry to hear that you have such serious problems with acne.





It's not fun. I've been there.





First of all you need to forget the over the counter medicines and treatments. They only offer a temporary relief and often cause more harm than good. The same goes with prescription meds for acne.





The good news is that acne is relatively simple to fix - once you know what causes it and how to deal with it.





First you need to understand what causes acne. If you said bacteria and sebum you are 90% wrong. Yes, they are part of the equation, but only a small part. Focusing on them will not get you clear - as I'm sure you know.





Acne is a complicated condition and it doesn't have a single cause. To explain it in detail would take too much space here. So I'll just give you a heavily summarized version.





Your body is in a state of imbalance. These imbalances mess up with your hormone levels and trigger the skin to produce too much sebum. They also weaken the immune system and p.acnes bacteria gets out of control. They interfere with food digestion and abortion. So you don't get the beneficial nutrients from the food you eat.

To cure acne the only thing you have to do is to bring your body back into balance.





You need to tackle it on many fronts:





- diet


- exercise


- maintain positive mental attitude


- detox and give your body some time to repair the damage





At first blush that may sound like a lot, but it's much easier that you may think now. And once you get to it you'll notice that your acne disappears on its own. No pills or creams required.

MANY COSMETICIANS would give you a peeling technique where the top layer of the face literally peels off its not painful though you might have to take off from work a few days..i also would consult a skin doctor to see if you lack any nutrients in your blood .dont dry yourface up too much cause your natural oils can heal your face.
ask your doctor for some clyndimicyn topical solution, and for the acne pill...they work wonders i'm telling you...aslo wash your face twice a day ...or whenever it gets greasy...you may also want to get some kind of porfessional face cleansing...i haven't tried it ...but have heard it works.
