Impossible Acne! h e l p

I have a similar problem. I get blind pimples on my right chin and jawline every month. My dermatologist says it's linked to hormonal changes, and no amount of washing or drinking water will help it. Now that I'm on birth control, it's really cleared up. 😊

If you are not sexually active or if you are on birth control ask your dermatologist about Spironolactone. Honestly it was the only thing that worked for me after struggling with painful cystic acne for 6 yrs. I wish I knew about it sooner so that I wouldn't get scars :( For girls specially teenagers it's almost always hormonal, and that pill is to balance your hormones. Sometimes they will combine it with birth control pills if Spiro alone doesn't work. Good luck!

There are multiple options you can attempt my brother had horrible acne and my skin wasn't very clear either. I know you said you drink lots of water and I used to try that too but the only difference was it helped because most of the time I was usually dehydrated but after school I'd drink abt 8 cups by dinner and my mother had bought proactive which is a very strong product but I realized that I can't use i everyday because of how strong it is but it really clears your skin within a day of using it but the reason I'm telling you abt it is because they give you an exfoliater and if you use that twice a week it should really help and then stay very hydrated and eat alittle better too that will help and my friend has always had clear skin and says that every night she uses face mask from tj max that keep her skin clear too I hope this helps and I hope you read everything too I know it was a lot 😂

I've never dealt with acne until I got pregnant, my skin decided to freak out and came the breakouts. What helped me was African black soap, they have it at target for like $5 and it helped me wonders... and drink lots of water.

Do you drink enough water??

I've had good luck with sulphur based treatments. Proactiv has a sulphur mask that I sleep in that is AHMAZING but also expensive

I'm an esthetician, I recommend using something with salicylic acid. I like dermaquest if you can get it near you. Also, find a good place that can do facials monthly for you (teen facials usually focus on cleansing and extractions). Stay away from scrubs too, they feel nice right after but are actually spreading bacteria around the face and will cause you to break out more. Hope that helps a little.

It all depends on your skin type and what really works for you. For me personally I drink tons of water. The every first thing in the morning after brushing my teeth I put cold water on my skin to wake it up and then I use a warm water to open my pores. The cleaner I use it called noxzema classic clean it's amazing you can find it at dollar general Walmart etc. at night after before getting out of the shower I would take the same cleaner as I did in the morning and wash my face with that also with the warm water but after words I will use cold water to close up my pores for my body and face (do this in the morning after washing it off with warm water). If you don't close you're pores then bacteria and dirt and that will just clog up your pores again and make you have acne I hope this helps!
