How many of you have tried acupuncture? Has it helped?

I'm trying it for pimples and for losing weight. I don't trust that it'll actually help me lose weight, but I'm hoping that it'll get rid of my pimples. I just started today.

Pic related. I have these seeds stuck to my ear right now.

How the hell do you come to the conclusion that it is any more valid for skin care then weight loss?

I'm just hoping it'll work. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't. I'm just sick of seeing my face covered in pimples and I'm curious to see if any of you have actually tried acupuncture for anything.

If your acne is that bad see a dermatologist if you already have been then ask him about using Accutane. The best thing for acne but one of the last resort type things.

Why is Accutane a last resort option?

Placebo. Try washing your face and jogging, Both are free

Its just because some of the possible side effects are extreme but its just like with all medication side effects are a slim chance and they will screen you b4 giving you the medication to make sure its ok for you.

If your a women you get a pregnancy test when you get your monthly blood screening ( men and women get the blood screening) To check your liver and make sure there are no changes that might cause some of the side effects or harm your liver.

If you want to read more go here http://www.drugs.com/accutane.html Also go and just talk to your doctor about taking it he will have all the info and be able to answer all of your questions.

There are also several antibiotics they could give you but from what I have seen they do not work very well for extreme acne plus prolonged use of antibiotic is not good.

Washing my face is horrible. Just splashing it with water, cold or hot, makes my face dry as hell. I smile, and I can feel the skin pulling hardcore. And then I put on lotion, which irritates my pimples even more.
It's a horrible, annoying on-going cycle.

As for the jogging, I'll try to jog more.

Thanks btw.

Best thing you can do is see a dermatologist, really. I've been taking Doxycycline Hyclate on prescription, as well as using samples of Differin for about 6 months for my acne. It got a fuckton better. I still break out from time to time, but usually only if I stop taking care for about a week.

I've tried acupuncture for different things, mostly injuries though. Really helps.

As for acne, I had/have really bad acne on my back, but it disappeared after about a week of regular acupressure (not acupuncture). I'm gonna get my skin cleansed again before the summer so I don't have any zits left.
And since nobody seems to believe that this actually works (yeah, clear that shit up with chemicals, fuck yeah! seaking!) I'll try to take some before/after pictures.
