I have acne on my chest and back, how can I treat it without medicine? Plz don’t tell me to see a dermatologist because i used to have one but I don’t see him anymore because of my parents.
i can’t use toothpaste because i have the gel kind

What you eat could be causing the acne. Food does cause acne and other skin problems. Junk and fast food, processed foods, greasy, fatty and animal foods all can cause acne in some people. If your diet has a lot of these foods, you could try and change your diet. More food from plant foods like lentils, pasta, whole grains and lots of vegetables.

Many of the junk foods are really poison to the body, and that poison has to come out some way, and sometimes it comes out in the form of acne and other skin problems.

I have treated most acne from my back. I have mostly red dots from old acne. Is there a way to make it go away faster? I am not sure what to use.

I have the same thing! Just use any old acne clearer and it will help! The clearer won’t take it all away, but it will clear some of it.
Hope that helped!
P.S. Clean and clear has an acne mark eraser, i’ve never tried it, but it might work!

It may seem strange yet it is true that there are quite a few variations in the universal problem of acne. The menace of acne which bothers teenagers and makes people feel awkward due to the scars left by it even long after the teenage years can be of a number of types. However, the common causative of all these types is bacteria.

Mild or juvenile acne affects teenagers much. This is also often referred to as teenage spots. A lot of little papules and blackheads appear on a background of greasy skin. This, however, does not last for a prolonged period and disappears after perhaps a few months of appearance. Then again these make reappearance after a short break. This type of mild acne is easy to treat. Scars are seldom formed from this acne type.

The moderate form of acne is Acne Vulgaris. In this case the concentration of whiteheads increase and a greater number of papules develop. This can well result from prolonged existence of mild acne and a severely oily skin. The ruptured blood vessels turn the spots affected by this acne red. This acne condition usually increases in the late teens or thereafter. Some few scars may appear in this case and over time the spots clear up.

Then there are the severe acne types which can cause much suffering and embarrassment in a person’s life. This can take a long time to heal and leave deep scars. A specialist may need to be consulted for following the right treatment course while dermatologists’ help may be called for to get rid of the scars.

Acne Conglobata, a chronic and severe form of the moderate acne vulgaris, is a severe acne type. Here, there is the formation of deep pits in skin, inflammations, blackheads or open comedones and considerable deep and irregular scarring. Another severe acne type is Acne Fulminans. In this case a highly destructive inflammation appears suddenly with symptoms of severe and often ulcerating acne accompanied by fever, inflammation and aching of joints of especially the hips and knees. An unsuccessful treatment for Acne Conglubata may also result in the development of this condition. Then again there is the Nodulocystic Acne in which cysts appear which may measure several centimeters in diameter. These cysts may occur singly or become widespread over face, neck, shoulders and various places and cause much pain and discomfort.

I’ve heard of using toothpaste, red wine vinegar, honey, benzyl peroxide, tea tree oil, and others. do these really work or will they make the acne worse? and is there any other home remedies i could try to clear up my breakout? please help!!!

Benzyl peroxide is the best. But first you need to— well here. I looked up for a long time how to get rid of acne and i found this to be the best. here is the routine

1. Wash face with just water. Then pat dry. Barly touch your face when you do this!!!!

2.Then use salic acid (which absorbs)
What you should use for salic acid is a face wash, such as cleaisil daily face wash or their cleansing pads by clearsil. If you use the face wash leave it on from 1-5 minutes. If you use the pads then leave that on 2-5 minutes. Then for both wash off and pat dry and BARLY TOUCH YOUR FACE WHEN YOU DO THIS! Then wait a few more minutes. If you don’t like those products just make sure the salic acide is 2%.

3. Every other day you should gently exfoliate, you can do this by Clean and Clear morning burst. Also leave on for a few minutes and pat dry, again Barly touch your face when you do this, and then wait about 2 minutes

4. Then you should put you benzyl on. Most products though use 10% benzyl peroxide. NOT GOOD!!!!!! 2.5% is the best. I use acnefree the terminator which is great and only has 2%. So just put that one your acne and then wait about 5 minutes

5. After that you MUST MOISTURIZE!!!! I think Aveno is great, if you don’t want that though make sure u get non-codmegentic moisturizer, which means is does not clog pores, so be sure it says that!!!!!

Then your done! Also after washing your face sometimes you should mix honey and table sugar together. Then put that on your face for a few minutes. then wash that off. This gets rid of all the dead skin cells and can just make it seem like your glowing.

Hope this helped

I have oily skin and constant breakouts. I wear makeup to cover this up and it works, but it is still visible under makeup so I wonder what are some home remedies or products or anything that works to treat acne. Thank you in advance.

Well first you gota lay off the makeup and let your skin breath!!
Sleep more!! Drink more water!!!
You can use toothpaste, facial cleansers i.e Simple, Johnsons Face washer. I use these as they are soap free so they dont damage my skin.
And more sun.
