@karir2344 5 лет назад

I was one of the lucky few. It runs in my family. Nome of my 4 siblings ever got it really. It was nice. It would be awesome if they could pin point the exact gene that causes acne or no acne and figure out how to flip that switch so no one has to experience it. Teens with bad acne have it rough. Even adults who don't get acne until their late 20's go through hell. In some ways its effects their self esteem and life style even worse than teens. Its a lot harder to get a reputable job with a face full of zits. 😞😞😞 I hope they can figure out a permanent fix all soon!

Pixel Heart Oh no thank you, I still have scars from the last 3 years now.

@WildFyreful 3 года назад

I suffer from it. A lot. Have to be on an antibiotic to keep it under control. Part of it is probably because my face makes *a lot* of oil, like "my face is perpetually shiny and slick" a lot so I have to keep my face really clean and dry. I'm also the lucky sod whose pimples rarely just leak all their gunk - they bleed instead. Yay me .-.

@virglibrsaglove 3 года назад

I used to put a tiny bit if pure tea tree oil on those. It'd usually clear up the spot in a day or so. Maybe a little longer for the really bad ones. I also took extra vitamin A. It reduces the amount of oil produced. Don't go crazy with the A, though. It builds up in the body and can cause problems in high amounts.

@Palitato 7 лет назад

If I don't pop the few pimples that show up, they go away after a few days and then will come right back again. Same spot, over and over and over. I had one that was constant and incredibly annoying, and it never seemed to clear up no matter how much I left it alone, or tried various creams or medicines... until I finally got so frustrated with it I just messed with it until I could finally pop it and squeeze out that little 'seed' of a core right in the center.. and it FINALLY WENT AWAY. Hasnt' come back. After over a year of that damn thing recurring, it's GONE. Haven't seen a sign of it in years.

@trl7005 6 лет назад

Dont they go away forever at 25 or above?

@Luciferus200581 6 лет назад

Same. I pop them and I very rarely see them come back or cause new ones.

@angeleyesgreen1586 6 лет назад

TR L yeah, right. Lol

@breadbun1975 6 лет назад

Why do your zits have seeds?....

@angeleyesgreen1586 6 лет назад

Lazy Loaf your body attacks dirt/skin cells the same way as a splinter or a sliver of glass. It sends white blood cells to attack it. They surround the foreign object and build up until it comes to a head and bursts, hopefully expelling the offending material. There almost always is a core. It's thicker than the surrounding pus. It contains a wall of white blood cells and, at the center, what caused the whole thing.

@toffeecrisp2146 7 лет назад

I know it is really hard to resist but learning to not do so, will help out. I'm lucky, I don't get really bad acne like I used to, rarely have none at all, but I can live with one or two here or there. When I see them now, I don't even think about touching them. Too easy to make the redness and swelling hang around longer, cause scarring and spread the spots. If I get the really nasty ones, like on the end of my nose *groan* (even I can see it all the time, too hard to ignore) I'll true to gently encourage it to go off on its own in the shower, where I can wash away the, erhm, ejecta. If you can get into the practice of leaving them alone, they go away quicker and it can be a good exercise in learning to be confident, regardless of ones appearance, if you aren;t already.

@anonomyss 7 лет назад

juan perez right? if i have a big ass pimple im just supposed to leave it there and just clean my skin using cosmetics... fuck all that shit. ill just pop them and hope for the best. typical video that just gives us a lecture and some stupid solution we've already thought of.

@AndrewMaciejewski 7 лет назад

kyle smith I have been using a salicylic acid face wash and then benzoyl peroxide afterwards and it works wonders.

@OpalBerries 7 лет назад

Or just buy alcohol swabs, literally more effective than washing your face and drying it the fuck out.

@iamsquidzy 7 лет назад

juan perez toothpaste helps. Just don't put it on constantly or it'll start a chemical burn (basically dries out the skin)

@ahtoshkaa 7 лет назад

Rule #1 Stop eatting food additives. Everything that wasn't around 50 years ago shouldn't be consumed. Anything artificial. Btw chocolate Always has something artifical in it even if it says otherwise on the label. Unless you make it yourself. If you make it yourself though, you'll immediately realise that it is completely different from store-bought one, even if all the ingredients are the same. Rule #2 Stop eating sugar or stuff that contains sugar. You are welcome. 99% of the people who follow this advice will be free of acne. Trust me, i've been combating it for over 14 years until i realized these simple facts.

@marylancelot 6 лет назад

Just a tip for fellow acne sufferers! Never try to pop a cystic pimple, or a pimple that isn't ready! Also remember, that if your pimple doesn't bleed after being popped, you didn't get all of the gunk out so don't be surprised when the pimple fills up again. And always, always, use disinfectant after popping a zit.

@lukegonnella3593 7 лет назад

I understand that he says in the video that there isn't enough solid proof that your diet affects your acne, but I've been thought horrid cystic acne that has left deep scars all over the back of my neck and regular acne on my face, chest, and shoulders that has also left smaller scars, and I can say that removing milk from my diet helped me so much. I'm not completely vegan, I simply swapped cow milk for plant based alternatives like almond and soya milk (I still eat eggs occasionally and will sometimes eat products with cow milk in) so I'm not doing this just to promote veganism. I just want to make people know that it really can help. Just try it 😊. It helped me more than my accutane treatment.

I find it most effective to puncture the top with a clean needle and then gently squeeze the pus out. This removes the majority of the bacteria and oil, unclogs the pore, and exposes any remaining bacteria to oxygen.

@melTiceTiger 7 лет назад

If you're going to pop pimples anyways, that's the way to do it. Don't scratch or rip them off.

@Nikolaj11 7 лет назад

I've had acne since I was 14, today I'm 26. It was very severe when I was a young teen though, these days it still happens daily but I've stopped caring enough to swallow a ton of medication each day. I wish I could get rid of it, but I have given up since none of the treatments I've tried gave me any significant results, and I find it more annoying to treat myself rather than just live with the acne. Mostly I get small (whatever) heads in my nose and I seem to produce acne more, where I sweat. By my ears, by my nosedrills, on my forehead, inder my arms and between my thighs. I also get skin rashes if I let my chin-hair grow too long so I have to shave completely down at least once a week and trim it in the middle of the week. Anyone else that just gave up and learned to live with it?

Great title. Really detailed answers on how to get rid of acne.

@fuxyews2177 7 лет назад

I got rid of my acne by taking 600mg of Trimethoprim a day(2x3 100mg tablets a day) Its not actually made for acne but fixing it is an inadvertent side effect. Started working for me after a few days and went completely after 2 months. No side effects. Just mentioning this for anyone suffering from acne because its a damn good treatment. A doctor should be able to prescribe it for you on repeat prescription, or may be directed to the local hospital first if they want to give you a few months worth of tablets on the day.

@necrogenesis1981 7 лет назад

+Tyler lyker You're lucky, I had horrible side effects from accutane, it even made my skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and I ended up with nasty blisters on my face because I was outside too long one summer. Fortunately no scarring, but it still sucked.

@fuxyews2177 7 лет назад

Gerardo Rosa Yeah, raising the dosage of alot of antibiotics can have permanent effects. You should book a new appointment and mention Trimethoprim. Just mention that you've heard it had good effects for acne (although I believe its for water infections) and see what they say.. I'm in England so said information may not be known to your doctor so they might dismiss it, inwhich case you could always ask them to look into it..

@barzan5048 7 лет назад

fux yews But it's apparently used for bladder infections, ear infections and diarrhoea. Will this cause any unwanted side effects or consequences even if it removes the acne?

Okay why does popping zits make my pimples heal so much faster

@DanielSultana 7 лет назад

can you do this scientifically? can you pop zits only on the left and leave the once on the right alone for a week and see if poping them actually makes a difference for the better? I too believe popping them helps them heal, but would like to see it done scientifcally

@naggash5348 6 лет назад

It does, if i don't pop a zit it takes about 12 days for it to completely disapear, if i pop it it's gone in 5-6 days top, maybe a little red scar that goes away with time.

@legacysage 6 лет назад

You're extracting the bacteria that's causing the inflammation and allowing your body to begin healing instead of allowing your immune system to continue to fail to fight it. Same concept as a blister. People say they heal faster when you leave them alone, but I can heal from a large blister in less than a day if I treat it correctly. If I leave the blister, typically it sticks around for 2-3 weeks unless it bursts in a less controlled manner, which actually puts me more at risk of infection. My advice would just be to do things the correct way. Use a sterilized needle if you must, and be sure to disinfect the area. This will minimize scarring. A dab of anti-biotic cream, and it should be gone the next day. Icing will also help bring down the inflammation, and increase bloodflow in the area. This will decrease redness and allow the skin to heal quicker. With that said, I believe there is a reason for all things. Diet is a great place to start. Just keep track of what you eat, and selectively alter variables and observe the results. This extends past mere acne and will help improve your overall quality of life. What you eat affects every single process in your body.

I have suffered from acne for 17 years of my life and many times from painful cystic acne. I have tried every over the counter product, expensive acne solutions and two rounds of Accutane. The only thing that has cleared my acne is to go for an allergy test at a naturopath and find out what my body reacts to.

@M_K_M_K_M_K 6 лет назад

What did you end up reacting to? I'm 29 and had 3 rounds of accutane in my teens and tried everything as well! Salicylic acid seems to help a bit, but the problem definitely lies within. It's not my skin(care) that's the problem.... Want to see a naturopath anyway for some health problems, and I'm sure there is a connection somewhere....

@jbl2270 6 лет назад

Hi Marlies, how was your visit to the naturopath? My biggest food triggers are eggs, dairy, wheat and milk. I had the allergy test done through bloodwork sample that is then sent to a lab. Regarding my skin care regime, I use a glycolic acid cleanser, homemade witch hazel and tea tree oil toner and spot treat BP of 5%. I wish you complete healing.

@M_K_M_K_M_K 6 лет назад

Thank you! I am lactose intolerant apparently (went to my own doctor a year ago with a lot of gut problems) and have IBS. They say... ;). I try to avoid dairy but end up having chocolate or cookies now and then. Maybe some cheese rarely. Tests also showed I don't have celiac disease but I'm wondering if wheat is a problem for me anyway. I will def. look into this! Have not seen a naturopath yet but I guess I have to start somewhere... :-)

No, but I tried dozens of creams, then a diet, then tried dermatologist treatments and eventually took a serious medicine for 10months. It helped reduce the amount about 80%, but the scars remained, I still have acne and it caused me another permanent health issue. After that I just gave up.

@2ill1313 7 лет назад

Word of advice for you Viktor and Yashii, unless you have a severe hormone problem then all you need is to apply your own saliva over your zits. Morning saliva ( when you wake up ) is best. The bacteria in your mouth is powerful enough to destroy acne. If you only have minor zits here and there all you need to do is apply saliva with the tip of your finger throughout the day repeatedly after it dry's each time. You will notice your zits drying and peeling until they are completely gone. I do this all the time. No need for medication. Try it and see for yourselves. This also works in the beginning stages of a zit. Which normally is noticeable by the soreness and redness that coems with it. Hope this helps. Salaam !

@2ill1313 7 лет назад

Robert Barbour Use your brain. First of all how can you lick your zits ??? Anyway, dip the tip of your finger on your tongue and apply that saliva unto your bumps, let the saliva dry and repeat as much as possible and needed. You will notice the soreness and itching going away little by little and even the zits peeling as much as you do it.

@spidervenomkilljoy 7 лет назад

I've struggled with acne for most of my teenage years and even beyond adolescence! That's why I finally decided to go to a doctor and ask them what to do since I had tried all kinds of creams and what not. I've been prespcribed a treatment which contains Isotetrionin and it has helped me A LOT. It has its side effects but they're not irrevocable. I'm glad you finally made a video about this, since Acne is a skin DISEASE after all, and we need more information about it so that people can prevent/treat it before they have to deal with scars... ugh! Thanks for uploading this video; I'm sure it will help many people who are struggling with acne.

@darxis1678 7 лет назад

Im going to give a summary on the comments to help you out, here we go: 1. Accutane and Retinoids (pills) are the MOST powerful and helpful medicines, which get rid of at least 75% of your acne within 2 or so months (unless you have some absurd health problem) although they may have serious side effects. 2. do NOT try any other way as it's much slower process and probably gets rid of only up to 50% of acne (within years) unless you want to go a very safe and long way. 3. you will have acne your entire childhood if u hit that 80% and maybe even early adult age. Only longer if health issue or serious genetics related stuff. 4. Do not use your saliva to put on your zits, there's a spammer in the comments saying it will work but actually adds bad bacteria. IT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE THAT ONE LARGE GREASY EXTRA PEPPERONI PIZZA THAT EVERY KID WANTS EVERY FRIDAY. And 5. Have a great day and take care of your skin.

Dietary insufficiencies . When I started taking zinc supplements, my acne disappeared within a month. Two years later, thinking I was 'cured', I stopped the zinc. Several weeks later, I got acne again. Resuming the zinc it went away. Zinc is only a trace element in our bodies, but apparently not having enough is a cause of skin problems such as acne and boils. As it's not excreted readily, it takes a while for it to get to a low enough level in the skin to cause a problem, and it also takes a while for enough of it to be retained in the skin. I've been on zinc now for almost 35 years, and still, if I stop taking it, I get acne and boils.

@robyns8341 7 лет назад

In regards to dairy causing acne, anecdotally I think it can. Though most dairy foods haven't made any difference to my skin, but whey protein shakes definitely did. I'd never had cystic acne until I started drinking whey shakes, and I ended up with a ton of it around my jaw. It all disappeared as soon as I switched to whey isolate, and hasn't happened since. I'd be interested to know what it was exactly that caused it though.

@orangeboy97 7 лет назад

Diet is honestly plays a huge factor in acne. I was drinking almost 2 cups of milk a day and had moderately bad acne. I stopped drinking milk recently and the acne is almost all gone. I did some research after seeing the results and found out the milk messes with your hormones, which makes sense that it would cause acne from uneven hormone levels.

@SuperMissblueeyes Год назад

I'm 42 yrs old & as a teenager, I hardly got any acne. However, I'm now perimenopausal & for the first time in my life I'm dealing with uncomfortable, sometimes painful acne whenever my time of the month comes round. During puberty, I used no skin products on my face. A few months ago, I started to use cleansing wipes once per day & they turned my slightly dry skin to greasy, even though I don't use them anymore. I would say to stick to a simple soap & warm water once per day & stay away from cleansing wipes & other chemical products.

I've found that for me, drinking lots of water helps with my acne. Over the last two years, my acne has roller-coastered, and I can say with certainty that the times it was the least present was when my water intake was highest. I've been drinking a full gallon of water (or two, if I can manage) per day, and I'm definitely seeing a fast improvement. Just try upping your water intake.

My girlfriend is struggling with acne and i want to buy her a cream which is Non-comedogenic, but the cream also contains Keratin, and as it says in the video ''to much Keratin production binds dead skin cells so they can't shed out of the pores like they normally would.'' so should i get her the cream to reduce sebum production and buy a cream that also reduces the production of Keratin (like a cream that contains Salicylic acid) or should i just buy her the first cream? (Sorry if i am confusing)
