Wash your Face often, use an Acne Toner, and or the Acne Scrubbing Pads.

Basicaly if you wash your face on a daily basis, they dont show up.

Popping pimples doesn't make more grow, it can cause scarring or dark spots on your face though.

You can minimize the occurrence of acne, but you can't always halt it entirely, unfortunately. Hormones, specifically Androgen (Primarily male, but as with Estrogen, both genders have it), cause the sebaceous glands in your pores to enlarge and produce more Sebum, which can cause the follicle to become blocked, creating ideal conditions for the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, which are the namesake for acne. They secrete chemicals that attract white blood cells, causing inflammation, and then ta-da, a pimple.

Quote:
Benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur are the most common topical OTC medicines used to treat acne. Each works a little differently. Benzoyl peroxide is best at killing P. acnes and may reduce oil production. Resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur help break down blackheads and whiteheads. Salicylic acid also helps cut down the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the oil glands. Topical OTC medications are available in many forms, such as gel, lotion, cream, soap, or pad.

I never had an issue with spots as a teenager. However I've heard tea-tree oil is good for them.

Oil & Dirt is the real reason you get pimples. Hormones when you are younger does it too. I always used simple rubbing alcohol. It is the main ingriedent in all those expensive products. Getting some sunlight will help dry them up too.

Wash your face and hands regularly and use rubbing alcohol with cotton balls and you will clear them up.

Being an ignorant teenage rebellion and listening to "new age" mainstream rock grows pimples. You can be a teenager without doing the above.

Benzoyl Peroxide - the highest concentration you can find.
It's OK to lance (pop) them but not by squeezing - or else you'll cause more imflammation and/or another infection. Clean the area and poke it gently with a sterile needle. You can sterilize one quickly over a flame.

Keep it clean and don't squeeze. Squeezing causes inflammation (= more redness and reactionary pus formation) and will pull out some of the protective oils in your skin (leaving the area vulnerable to a secondary infection) as well as cause scarring (dark areas that remain for months/years).

If you need to get rid of them quickly the only advice I have is to go to the makeup section of the store and get some foundation to hide it. If you have a sister ask her the best stuff for hiding it. Female input here is appreciated.

That's your free advice for the day. Good luck.

Default Don't touch it.

Don't pop it - it will only make it last longer - and possibly scar.
Dab it with white toothpaste (not gel) before you go to bed.
I promise it will look less like a pimple and more just reddish overnight.
Colgate Total works really well.
Using tea tree oil to shrink the swelling around it helps too.
(someone mentioned it)

Note: Toothpaste only works on the occasional normal pimple not chronic or cystic acne.

blame your parents if you have pimples. usually they're genetics. if your parents had them as teenagers, most likely you'll get them too. no matter how clean you keep your face. im fortunate to not have them
neither of my parents had them as kids. my uncle is a dermatologist so i know a few things about pimples. like the others said before, do not pop it. especially when it's still fresh, lmao. it'll just get worse if you do. use a pimple creame with Benzoyl Peroxide. it might help. for some people, Benzoyl Peroxide just makes it worst, lol. especially a high concentration one. besides that, i guess you use make up to cover it up.

FYI, the only time you should pop it is when the pimple becomes matured, lol. you should never use your fingers to pop it. the pimple bacteria will spread around your face. use a sterilize needle or napkins or something.

...and, for heaven's sake, if you've been squeezing away, please stay out of the "See Who Ya Play" thread.
