Acne is a terrible condition, and once you get rid of pimples, you may have to deal with acne scars that most of the times are the result of pimple picking. In some cases these acne scars can be there forever unless you get a proper treatment. Acne marks can be present on any part of your body and be very notorious; of course this leads to emotional stress and personality issues, especially in young people. Many products and treatments have been created to help people get rid of acne scars for good.
Methods to get rid of acne are varied, the most popular are scar removal creams, and may also be the most affordable, however new and more effective methods have been developed like laser acnes scar surgery.
There are different types of scars from acne. The most common type of mark is the "ice pick scar", other shapes include "boxed scars", "hypertrophic scars" and "rolling scars", these are standard descriptive names doctors and patients recognize. Some of the treatments available will vary depending on the size, condition and shape of the acne mark.
Creams, as I said before, are an option to get rid of acne. If you are going to opt for this option, it is good to know that the best creams work on any type of scar. These are specialist creams made to treat this condition and the formula is set to be very effective for the cause of the problem, not just the outside appearance of the acne scars. In the market nowadays, there are many of these creams and you can even separate them in two groups: one group of creams based in natural products, and one group of creams based on medical formulas. Creams are a great way to get rid of acne scars for many people because they are inexpensive compared to some of the modern laser treatments.
Other options to get rid of these marks include the best methods in the past: chemical peels and dermabrasion; however these methods are now seen as invasive and well, in the case of chemical peels it is clearly understood that you are putting a chemical solution on your face…
More recently a great acne scar treatment has been created, and this one promises the best benefits with the least amount of problems. The treatment is called fractional laser therapy, and with it you can get rid of acne marks with a short healing period and working on a deeper level of your skin, so you are not damaging healthy skin tissue. Of course, as a new and very effective treatment, it is also very expensive and not covered at all by insurance companies.
soap and water
added with scrubs, cleansers and light moisturising
watch your diet, clean you face in the morning and night time, go to the doctor for a topical cream if necessary, DO NOT TAKE PILLS- bad side effects, stay out of the sun, exercise daily etc.
you wanna keep moisture to your face so make sure you wash your face in the morning and before you go to bed, also drinking 6-8 cups of water a day helps as well because like i said you wanna keep your skin having moisture. the last thing that i suggest is to eat almonds about eight almonds is equal to a whole glass of milk, i know this because i learned it in my health class and i actually works hope that helps:) oh and eat about 8 almonds a day.
there are several causes for acne, so there are several ways to clear it up:
STRESS: stress can often trigger acne breakouts and oily skin. Try meditating a few times a week (which is basically just deep breathing, let go of worries, think calming thoughts).
DIET: eating too much sweets, grease, or just plain junk food really takes a toll on acne. Try to cut back actual sweets to about one or two a day, and the fast food/grease to every couple of weeks. Fruits and vegetables (especially the ’superfruits’ like berries) are excellent for the body and skin.
BODY: Your body may be having trouble controlling the hormones that affect your skin. There are certain medications that you can take to help your body deal with them. Women only can take certain birth control pills. Also, certain homeopathic doctors may be able to provide a natural oral remedy (which is what i chose).
PRODUCT: Harsh soaps and cleansers not actually made for the face or for your skin type can provoke acne. salytic acid is ingredient in all of the best acne medications. My advice would be to get a good acne-fighting cleanser and follow it up with a facial astringent (or a natural astringent called Witch Hazel) twice a day. You may also want to try an acne gel spot treatment for the occasional ‘big one’ that pops up. This particular medication usually contains benezoyl peroxide and is not recommended for everyday use, because it dries the skin alot.
AGE: if you are a teenager and you have a problem with acne, just do the best you can, but if all of it still does not go away, wait a while. around 18 or 19 your hormones should balance out and help rid the breakouts!
well, hope that i helped.
Topical retinoids are the mainstay of acne therapy. However there is no one solution for all. Benzoyl peroxide, topical and systemic antibiotics and finally isotretinoin tablets are all indicated depending on the degree of acne.

Tips for acne treatment
1. DON’T TRY TO WASH IT AWAY
Acne isn’t caused by dirt. In fact people with oily skin have cleaner skin than average because they wash it more often. But it’s a fact that washing too much can make acne worse because it makes the skin dry and sore. So, wash no more than twice a day, using mild soap and water. If you have patches of dry skin, don’t worry about putting moisturizer on. It won’t make your acne worse. If you’re still concerned, use an oil free moisturizer.
2. DON’T NUKE ‘EM
There are lots of over the counter creams, gels, lotions and potions. Most contain a powerful bleaching agent called benzoyl peroxide. You’ll find the strength written on the label. You might be tempted to go straight for the highest sort, working on the ‘let’s nuke ‘em principle. The likely result is that you’ll irritate your skin like mad. It may also go all dry and scaly on you. But if you still are willing to bleach then use the mild one.
3. MAKE A DATE - THE TWO MONTH RULE
If you have been using over the counter remedies for two months and there is no real improvement in your spots, this is the moment to go and make an appointment with your doc.
4. YOUR DOCTOR - THE TWO MONTH RULE
The thing you are most likely to be given by the doctor is a prescription for antibiotics. These will either be topical (which means something you put on your skin) or tablets you have to take every day. Whatever treatment your doctor or pharmacist recommends, follow the instructions carefully and keep using for at least two months. There should be a noticeable improvement by this time. If not, go back to discuss other possible treatments Antibiotics are perfectly safe to take. You should take them for at least two months and then go back to your doc. If they seem to be working, he will probably tell you to keep taking them and give you some more. If they aren’t doing their stuff, don’t despair - he has loads of other spot busters in his black bag.
5. YOU ARE NOT AN ALIEN - BUT JUST BE PATIENT
Hundreds of thousands of teenagers seek help for acne. You are not alone. You are not an alien. And if people really care about you, they don’t even notice your acne, however bad you think they are. But you will need to be patient. Most treatments take time to work. At least two months. And some treatments, like antibiotics will work well but may have to be taken for months, or even years.
6. THE MONTHLY CURSE… OR EXAMS
Acne does tend to get worse just before a period. It’s because there is a surge in hormone levels at this time. But boys don’t get away lightly either. Being hot and sweaty (particularly after sports like football) makes acne worse. And for everyone, stress - particularly at exam times - is a cue for a mega breakout. This is normal - and of course, even more reason for feeling stressed. Go chill. They’ll get better - promise.
7. WATCH WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN AND HAIR
Some beauty products are big no-nos. These include pomades and defrizzing agents for hair that tend to cause an outcrop of blackheads along the hairline and some of the heavier cosmetics. And be wary of suntan oils. Not all will make you break out, but some may. Try a friend’s first before you buy. By the way, the sun might dry up acne and a tan might hide them, but your skin is still vulnerable in the sun and needs protection
