i also acne-ish. started when i was sec 2. then went to derm. took stieva and clindamycin.then all of sudden my face become damn oily and bleached. but acne gone. not satisfied coz my face became oily after only 10 mins. wth.
so i stopped and then acnes start popping out again.i was like jc then. went to doctor again and this time i got prescribed neostrata. reduce oil. but anw, as u grow up ur skin wont be so oily lah.then less and less of acne will pop out.
i still have pimples. last week got severe breakouts.but then again, i guess u'll just have to live with it until u grow up and the ur face will clear.
seen any adults with severe acne?? unlikely. they might have scars but not many still have lots of pimples. -
My case is not pimple leh. Is acne. And it's on every part of the face. Quite serious kind.

Hi LOLS,
I used to have severe acne too, that's why your thread attacted me.
But it's clear now, and I have some best practices I'd like to share with you:
1) Avoid the oily and heaty foods like prata, char quay teow, banana fritters, fast food, fries etc...
Although the doctors say it doesn't make a difference, I swear to you it does. If you ask a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor, he'll tell you such foods produce pathogenic heat which increases sebaceous secretion and worsens acne.
I have a friend who never believed what I told him and continued to eat all the fried and oily stuff.... today, 8 years later, he still has bad acne. And he's way out of puberty too.
2) Intake cooling, greaseless, healthy foods like salads, veggies, fruits, tomato, cucumber, celery... make it a habit to blend your own fruit juice and drink that as a complete meal.
This means you'll have to find a healthier alternative for a lot of the things you eat. A bit hard to find, but not impossible. There are always healthier choices available.
3) Use a good face wash. And don't scrimp on using it. My friend bought this expensive $60 face wash and squeezes less than a dime each time.... NOT EFFECTIVE. Just get a $10 one and use it in copious amounts.
4) Use acne medication, those you can get from a skin specialist.
5) Don't squeeze. You can soak a small towel in hot water and place it on the pimple to draw the sebum to gather into a head. It'll take maybe two days of application every 3 hours. Once it's in a head (yellow dot of puss) then it's safer to squeeze, but I recommend you just let it burst by itself when you wash it.
6) Use a facial mask to draw out the sebum at night. I've had good success with this brand called BLACKMORE's. Available at most pharmaceutical outlets.
7) Drink genuine herbal cooling tea. The kind you buy from a chinese herbalist. Maybe Eu Yan Sang. This really helps to relieve pathogenic heat. OR, you can just blend 5 tomatoes and 3 sticks of celery and drink that.
Cheers,
Lance -

For 3), I'm still trying to find some facial foam which is quite effective. And I dont use facial mask. Must I use it? Cause it's rather costly I believe.
For 6), yup.. I do it. In fact my mom makes me drink one cup everyday. -
mayb u can start from cleansing your "inside".. pimples more or less are due to dirty blood (excess toxin in the blood) which mayb due to indigestion of your intestine. thus causing the body trying to remove the toxins thru your skin.

1. Try to eat more veggies and fruits if u want to look good. Tomatoes especially. But I admit I dun like to eat tomatoes except tomatoes in sandwiches.Originally posted by -LoLs-:Thanks for helping.

2. Dun have to buy expensive de la.. Lance also said $10 de will do. I prefer to use those with exoliating beads/tea tree oil. -

Actually alot of people keep asking if i got treatment anot, and i got fustrated of that.

I recommend facial products that contain tea tree oil.
Personally, I use T-Zone exfoliating facial wash ($10.90, avail. at Watson's/Guardian).
And for a cheap and effective way to clean your pores (I do this almost every night),
1. pour some boiled water (the one that's just off the stove and really hot) into a bowl of size slightly larger than your face,
2. position your face above the bowl and cover your head with a towel (so the steam goes to your face instead of evaporating into the surroundings).
Be careful though, don't put your face too near the hot water! This method works for me and my face feels really clean after that.
I used to have really bad acne and went to NSC, but the antibiotics the dermatologist prescribed caused me to constantly feel nauseous so I stopped taking it. Plus, the results weren't that good either.
I've heard that some birth control pills do help in controlling acne problems due to hormonal imbalances, have yet to try it though. You can just go to a GP for consultation. Shouldn't be that expensive (:
As for your low self-esteem, I know how it feels 'cos I've always envied my friends that have smooth clear complexions. All I can say is don't fret too much about it 'cos when you get a little older, and before you know it, your skin condition will get better!
Oh, and drink lots and lots and lots of water.

don't be too sure. acne can occur at any part of one's life...not necessarily teenagers get it..Originally posted by Agenda:lucky my complexion is fair and smooth -

Dat one must be because of their genesOriginally posted by foxwalk:I notice that some people have completel hell diets, sleep late but still have good complexions..
Uncloggable pores... one day they will find the gene that does this.
And it'll be in huge demand.

I never eat vegetables in my life, actually i do a little bit sometime when I feel like it.Originally posted by -LoLs-:Thanks for helping. I always try my best not to take in fried food. But for 2), I dont think it's applicatable for me because seriously, I dont take much vegetables. =p

Ever tried using tomatoes? Squeeze out the fluid from half a tomato and apply it to face. It will be itchy and painful at first but after a while time will be alright. The other half use dun know what the plastic call to wrap it and put it in fridge, save for tomorrow.
Well it solve my problems but will return after that cause I never really take care of my face only wash 1 time a day, plus i lazy to apply, only apply when situation get worse/serious. If little, i just leave it to heal.
U can try if u want not 100% will work for u though... different people different results but my sister too tried it and worked. Well its a method taught by my mother after all. Tomatoes only cost a few cents dun tell me expensive hor... no harm trying i think.
What time you sleep everyday anyway? cause sleep late will also cause this type of problems.
