acne??

[DessViperV-10]

can you guys help me-i recently am getting acne around my mouth,is there a thing that can stop this??

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

What ever you do, do not take Accutane. It ****ed me up so bad I will never be the same.

 

[DessViperV-10]

what do you mean bro??

Ahh, the joy of the teenage years.

There's a couple of things:
- try and stay away from greasy foods. I'm 32 and I'm guaranteed a couple of zits a few days after I eat greasy food
- keep your face clean. Zits are basically blocked skin pores. I was shaving with a razor at your age (you're around 15, right) and that actually really helps keeping the skin clear

Just bear in mind it will pass - a fact of life at your age, unfortunately.

Acutane is a very heavy ,serious drug used to treat really bad cases of acne. You are not to be on it for more than 1 yr. But the doctors put me on it for 3! it has some wild side effects ill tell ya.

 

[DessViperV-10]

does one of the side effects include the image in your avatar

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

lol, nope
it included my skin being so thin on my face that if i touched it with a towel after a shower it would rip open and bleed non stop, it includes deforming your bones and putting you into manic depression.

Man - the acne would have to be life threatening to justify exposure to those potential side-effects.

Then I'd say 'fair enough', I guess. I'm guessing these weren't your average zits, right?

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

you are partially right....

 

[whitez]

did you bust out a law suit against the manufacturer and the IDIOT DOCTOR

 

[sn00pie]

I know a guy who was on that acne drug, he got almost suicidal!

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

actually it comes with a suicide warning right on the label.

My advice >> go see the Doc...You can't make it vanish but you can sure as hel* keep it under control with medicines

Don't pick em and wash imn the morning and before bed (excessive cleaning irritates the skin and doesn't help)...

A lot of people may laugh at what I'm about to say next: If your spots seem to develop over night.... now are you ready for this put toothpaste on acne areas of your face.

Apply dry tootapaste to a dry face. Why? Well basically it dries the skin up which is ideal for soaking up all that sick grease. Wake up in the morning with a minty pillow and hopefully no new spots :smilewink

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

[DessViperV-10]

Keep an eye out for Clear Logix. By far, Clear Logix is the very best over-night pimple remover I've ever used! I highly recommend their product.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

thanx for the info Jordan :thumbsup:

A few years back the doctors were thinking of putting me on accutane if some of the milder drugs didn't help me out...after about 6 months they did help and I'm clear now. One simple solution. Spend some time out in the sun. Not an excessive amount or anything, but the vitimans and whatnot from the sunlight definately help things out.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

when i was on accutane i couldnt go out in the sun because my skin would litteratly fry in 10 mins and start flaking and bleeding

 

[CDailey]

damn.......that sucks

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

yes it does, it sucks & blows, much like Josh's mom

Motherfocker!

You thought I didn't check every single post on GTP, huh?

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

i really did think that

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

of course i ment that it sucks and blows, like what Joshs mom does to Josh's dad, it just came out wrong

 

[Josh]

Focking sick dude! First off, my parents are divorced, and even if they weren't, that's still horrifying to think about!
