My friends and family and I have been noticing that lately I have been breaking out! I don’t usually break out and when I do it’s just one major pimple but its not hard to reduce its size. But it started off with an acne cyst and I tried all the online procedures to get rid of it but it wasn’t doing much to help. And these ance cysts suck! They are under the skin so theres no pore to cleanse! Ugh. So I went to the doctor and he prescribed me an acne ointment which I have been applying nightly, but…its still there! Reduced in size, yes, but its still THERE! Ugh. And now I have multiple pimples on my chin, that stupid acne cyst and guess what, a new pimple just arrived. Greattt.. What should I do? I have Prom in like 3 weeks!! I need to have clean skin by then. Should I go see the dermatologist?? Will they give me good medicine? And what about birth control. Does it help acne as well? Please help me in any possible!!

I have pitting on my face from acne scars when I was in high school. I am looking for a good foundation to hide them as much as possible. Most that I have found are good for covering discolorations but that is not my problem. I have tried the mineral powders but they look too powdery and don’t seem to hide the pitting. Any recommendations would be great!

We have tried so many solutions, what solutions do you find to be the best? thanks in advance!

I couldn’t resist… I know it’s terrible to pop them but I couldn’t help myself. Now I have a huge red spot that looks worse than the original pimple. How do I reduce the redness within a day or two (read: by work on Monday) without covering it up with makeup?

I have been using stridex face pads and Terminator 10 for acne. Because it sometimes makes my skin dry out, I like to use an oil free face moisturizer a little after putting the acne meds on. Would this counteract the effect of the meds?
