After battling cystic acne as a teen for five years, I moved to another part of the country, and my acne disappeared in four weeks. An allergist suggested that the water in my hometown was very high in dissolved chalk, and that it was a contributing factor in clogged pores. I had wasted thousands of dollars with the dermatologists when the solution seemed simple. Even now, when I go home to visit, I start breaking out like mad again, and I'm fifty. Take time to see an allergist as well as your dermatologist.

That's good advice, Dave. Many health problems are solved with a little lateral thinking on the patient's part.

Thirteen? Good god! Your hormones are jumping all over the place and your body is going through a lot of changes. All you need is a healthy diet
( no more M&M's for breakfast) a lot of excersise and sunsine. Keep that wonderful face clean!! You can't tell me your friend's don't have have pimples, listen even the Jonas brothers and Taylor Swift(my favorite) have pimples, they just cover them up with makeup! Don't do anything that will affect the way you'll look in the next few years. Oh and it wouldn't hurt for you to spend a few extra hours in English class..LOL..Just be U..Posted 1 year ago # -

Our family seldom had skin problems. Reared on a farm, we ate our own vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk, beef, pork and chicken. Desserts were prepared for Sunday, birthdays, anniversaries, and guests, including evenings when classmates spent the night. Otherwise, dessert consisted of canned fruit. Wholesome food certainly helped us to have clear skin, but, in addition, we used medicated powder on our faces after cleasing and before going to bed. In addition, whenever we'd feel the beginning tenderness of what would become a zit, as we smoothed our fingertips over our skin in washing, we'd apply a triple antibiotic ointment over the area, and never press, nor squeeze. The key is not to touch, except for cleasing and applying powder and antibiotic ointment. We'd reapply the TAO morning and night. Makeup could be carefully applied over it. Now, antibiotic cream is available, and much less messy. Wash your face, apply moisturizer if you use it, pat the medicated powder all over, and get used to the peculiar odor! Since I don't think I can say a brand name, I'll say that the name reminds you of Mexico and Texarkana. Sorry, if such a clue is not allowed! It could be that any medicated powder will work, but I know that that one worked wonders for my friends and for me, along with the antibiotic ointment/cream.
