Anyone have a remedy for pimples for a 19yo boy? Kid is having a difficult time with it. Sorry for the ? but I am out of ideas. thank you
At 32 now I suffered from acne for a long time. Its such a destroyer of self confidence and honestly it should be handled as quickly as possible to help that boy.
I tried everything! I went to a dertmatologist for years and nothing.
First: Try Pro-activ. I know, personally, more than 10 people that it worked for. I still use it every other day, once a day. It really helps people get on a good plan for their face if they have super sensitive skin. Wash lightly, dry lightly, use a toner, use a lotion. Trying Pro-activ is free.
I went through the whole Acutane thing when I was younger and I nearly killed myself from depression. Stay away from that! I also lost a lot of hair - one of the side effects.
Second: If he has very oily skin get on a really good program of changing pillow cases. Get some soft thick cotton ones and change them every week. I buy them second hand from goodwill cheap.
Third: Cut down on sugar and white bread. That stuff can cause acne for some people. At least worth a try.
For me, I had terrible, terrible acne and I tried Acutane because I would have cut off a finger for good skin. It worked, but not without side effects and people die from it. Go with Pro-activ, it works! Its not expensive either for what you get. If you dont like it you can send it back.
