you really need to get to a dermatologist. there aren't any good "home remedies". using alcohol or some toothpaste (not gel) can help to dry out a single pimple but if you have acne then you need to see a doctor. you should avoid sugary and greasy foods as well. this includes fruit juices as they are high in sugar content. while is is suggested that "chocolate doesn't cause acne", an over abundance of sugar feeds the bacteria in your skin and excess fats can make your pores clogged. in addition make sure that the pillow you are sleeping on at night is very clean as any dirt and bacteria near your face at night can aggravate a skin problem.

OldGroupiesNeverD ie	Posted Apr 1st, 2009 at 7:29AM There are plenty of home remedies (some of which have already been suggested) which will dry your skin out and help diminish a single pimple, but geenpunch is right: if it's a serious problem, you need to see a dermatologist. Pimples are initially caused by a buildup of sebum (a fatty substance, that your body produces to stop your skin drying out), and an overproduction of sebum is usually a hormonal problem. Factors like stress and diet will bring on more breakouts (due to the change in body chemistry), so if you're not keen on doctors, maybe look at these things first. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Zurie	Posted Apr 1st, 2009 at 10:05PM toothpaste, not gel but white toothpaste will dry out the pimple or just go to the drug store and buy some benzoyl peroxide gel you can get that for a couple of bucks. I've also heard chamomile tea bags help reduce the redness and irritation if applied to the spot. A good cleanser used twice a day, not full of scents but a gentle cleanser like Dove bar, will not irritate your skin and will help draw the dirt to the top at first it will look worse but as the layers come off and dirt is washed out of the pores your skin will look clearer. Some people need more especially females during their "friendly visit" and in that case it is hormonal and you might need something with some more "umph". I try to use a combination of apricot scrub, salicylic acid based lotion, and benzoyl peroxide gel when that time of the month rolls around. If you use alcohol based products though, your skin will produce more oil and if you missed a day of good cleansing you could end up with a nasty breakout. Oatmeal (yes real oatmeal for breakfast) made thick and put on the red spots will reduce irritation. Also avacado masks can soften the skin and reduce the pore size. But avacado can be greasy so use a gentle cleanser afterward but don't scrub. Be gentle to your skin and it will be gentle to you. Rated: +1Vote for this!
