i have scars from when i was a very young child, like 6 months. i have had the scars all my life, but i think its a hereditary thing. both my parents have scarring from acne too. is there anyway to treat the scars, because i have heard that the scarring will heal somewhat by itself, but i dont see any improvement at all since childhood. help? also, i know about the toothpaste thing, but what kind works best?
all answers appreciated!

It feels like a bruise. I dun even need to touch it, I jus move my face like raising my eyebrows (its like in the middle of my face) I cud feel the pain!!!!

It doesn’t look like a pimple/zit or watever, It looks like a bug bite, but I’m MOST PROBABLY thinking its a pimple. IT HURTS SO MUCH. I’ve gotten this before but it wasnt tht big, I really want it gone asap.

Do you know any natural remedies? I dun wanna buy some medication or watever. What would u suggest I do? Toothpaste, honey watever, just TELL ME. I’ll try all.

i just started going all natural and quit proactiv. i really like burt bees products. i went all natural with everything, shampoo, toothpaste ect., now ive canceled all the chemicals out and i feel great and my skin feels amazing. its not dry anymore its perfect. except that i am starting to get a few pimples. i am using burt bees face wash and their toner. but someone told me when you quit proactiv you break out. what i want to know is for how long and why? also im 21, im past that bad acne stage. i only get a few pimples if i dont use proactiv

Im having a huge problem with hormonal acne. Im guessing its linked to hormones since its mainly on the chin and around the mouth. My doctor put me on the pill a few years ago to combat the problem but now that I am trying for a baby being on the pill doesnt really work out that well. Ive read about zinc and and tea-tree, benzoyl peroxide and other chemicals thats in toothpaste and head and shoulders. Is there anything, cream, or face wash I can use that isnt gonna be too harmful to continue to use should I get pregnant.

I was on roaccutane 4 years ago but, although a vast imrpovement, have never had clear skin. My skin has been getting progressively worse for 2 years. I think if I want to go on it again I have to go through all the different levels of treatment first and that takes years! I am taking a multi-vitamin and trying to remember to take agnus castus but keep forgetting! I have suspected PCOS too but i’m not overweight for my height, BMI is 24, i’m 21 years old and have been a vegetarian for 3 years. I am going to try Saw palmetto supplement, chromium and Acidophilus. No topical treatment or antibiotics are working, nor do dermalogica products! Thanks for your help!
I have heard of proactive but is it UK or US, i live in England. And what is it? By the way I have been on;
Topical; face washes made with salicyclic, glycolic or lactic acid. benzoyl peroxide creams on their own, and with antibiotics in the cream as well. Witch hazel and tea tree oil. And toothpaste!
Internal; I have been on loads of different antibiotics.
Dianette- a form of the pill
(Ro)accutane
And, i have also tried probiotics, multivitamins! Just to clarify, the spots are worst on my chin, also a few on my cheeks and forehead so don’t think its a food allergy. Also the skin is quite dry, but the spots are definately acne. Finally, as I live in the UK i rely on the NHS, an appointment to see a dermatologist is rarely given and the waiting list is 3 months at least. Privately it costs £250 or 5 before treatment! Thanks anyway, the website was good.
