Man today when I woke up, and went to the bathroom, I saw a ton of acne. Or at least i think it is, there's a ton of little bumps on my left cheek. Now... I don't know what to do... I haven't had this before and now I'm afraid my friends in school might be afraid of me... Can anyone here tell me how do I get rid of them? And I did research on Google how to get rid of them, but I don't know if those actually works, and I really want personal experience on removing them. Tyvm for your time. Hm, my mom's taking me to the doctors now.

GooglePwns said: "Rub toothpaste on your pimples to dry them out." Hm. I don't think thats a good idea for me, considering the fact that I have eczema I already have dry skin. And yeah it popped up overnight

Heres what I did. I usually bought so much acne treatment things and most of them never worked. Some did cure it but came back 2x worse. Then my mom bought me this link It's about 14$ for it but it's totally worth it. It helped treat my acne a bunch

Btw one problem, each of the bump has a red dot on it, so I don't know if it's really acne. Since theres whiteheads, blackheads, etc. but I don't know if theres any with red dots...

Drink the standard 8 cups of water. Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in their color, like red strawberries and green spinach. Get a cleanser, alcohol-free toner, and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Try using alcohol-free witch hazel for a toner and 100% tea tree oil for a spot treatment. Moisturize with a lotion that says it's non-comedogenic(won't clog pores). I prefer Olay or Biore, but I know Cetaphil works for all skin types and is cheaper. I like to use my cleanser in the shower, then tone and moisturize when I get out. Wash your face once in the morning and once at night and rinse off with cool water or run an ice cube over your face. I don't know if you want to try a mask as well, but I like Freeman's Avocado and Oatmeal clay mask or Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask. Don't overwork your face with too many products or your skin will get irritated and can start to flake, causing more blemishes. However, if you do happen to irritate your face and you start flaking, try jojoba oil. I was flaking once from a benzoyl peroxide cream and put jojoba oil on my face and my flakes went away like instantly. D; For another spot treatment, you can get Vitamin E gel capsules, cut them open or poke it with a toothpick, and take the oil out and put it on your pimple. I haven't tried that, but it works for my friend.

Afraid of your acne? Lulz. Just use cleanser. You should have started using cleanser right when you hit puberty. It helps prevent acne as well as make it go away. Patience is the key.

VM2009 said: "u gotta take more showers to wash off all the oils" Showering strips your skin of its natural oils. Stripping all the oils from your skin is not a good thing. It needs to be balanced. Your skin will produce more sebum to make up for lost oils, so it doesn't dry up and flake. Being too oily will clog pores, but flakes from dry skin can do the same. You don't want to overwork it and end up on either extreme.
