My face is dry and pimply and it's affecting my self-esteem. Pic isn't me, but it's practically what I have, only mine is MUCH drier and maybe a little less red.

And I have a lot of scars from the pimples I had before and I don't know how to get rid of them (I don't want to resort to laser, but I have so many..)

Please help

Proactiv.

Also, drink more water, less candy/shit food. Veggies.

I don't like sweets, so I don't eat candy. I am a meat person though, so could that be it?

And I heard Proactiv doesn't work on most people. My brother (he has the same pimple disease, it's genetic) tried it, and it failed him miserably.

Go to a dermatologist and get them to give you some antibiotics. It's probably genetic and what you eat really won't change much.

I had the same problem except much, much worse than the pic. Get a facial cleanser, benzoyl peroxide, and a facial moisturizer. Clean face with facial cleanser, then apply benzoyl peroxide, then facial moisturizer. Do this every morning and night. Eat healthy... never drink soda, coffee, or energy drinks. Never eat fast food. Eat your fruits and vegetables. Exercise. Don't masturbate. Don't drink anything besides water. Within a month of doing this (given that you did it every single day), your acne will be gone and it will stay gone as long as you keep it up.

My acne scars were so awful and severe that I had to get the laser treatment. It cost me a fortune, especially since I had to go in three times because it was so bad, but it got rid of the acne scars and it was worth it. Hope this helps.

The shitty thing is, neither of my parents had pimple problems at ALL when they were young. But somehow my brother and I both have it hardcore. What the fuck, genetics, what the fuck.

I'm glad to hear that it all worked out for you. One thing that I have to ask: What does masturbation have anything to do with pimples? I masturbate about 2 times a day, but if it's really affecting my pimples I can easily stop.

Thank you, btw.

>but if you can pull it off than the rewards are worth it. Plus after a while you'll probably force yourself to get a girlfriend if you didn't have one already.

Whoa think quick, what the hell is the difference between masturbating and having sex to your body?

Does it matter that I'm female?

I'll try going to dermatologist in Taiwan then since it's cheaper (and I'm going there for a wedding anyways). Bah, American dermatologists are always so expensive.

If you're OP and you're female... geez. Based on that pic you look like an ugly dude. Sorry.

If you're not OP, well then I'm terribly sorry. I bet vag pimples feel AWESOME too when you schlick.

>> Myth:
Masturbation or sex causes acne
Reality:

This antiquated notion, originating as early as the 17th century to dissuade young people from having premarital sex, is just plain wrong. Don't believe the hype.

Sigh, this is why people can't have nice things.... I'm always completely honest with people. I always tell them the complete truth and usually that truth is too much for them to take. That goes with everything. If you don't want to believe me then fine, but I am telling you what worked for me and what I observed with myself.

That actually sounds rather suspicious, but whatever.

And it's really that expensive? Holy shit. Is your face completely porcelain perfect now?

That was me there. Sorry, you were just being truthful to what you did. If it works for you then it's great. I got upset because the masturbating and food thing are myths that just keep getting spread around and I'm tired of it. You made a lot of healthy choices, but probably not for everyone.

That's a good point though: No advice or method is perfect for everyone. Try different things.

Well I got the laser treatment to get rid of my acne scars, and for that it served it's purpose. I don't have acne scars any more, they're gone.

I had bad acne during high school.
Now it's all gone, and the scars are going away.

If your acne wasn't insanely bad, then it should be okay. By insanely bad, I mean pock faced.

acnefag here. I'm just wondering if there are any girls reading this and what they think when they see a guy with acne.

I might try it then... Even though it is ridiculously expensive.
Thanks for all the help, anon.

It's the same with how guys look at girls with acne. Acne's bad all around. A few pimples are fine, but if it's like OP's pic!bad, then no.

if it's fucked up 'omg my face is made from gigantic boils' acne then I'm grossed out, less than that and I can deal with it enough to go out with said guy. It's not a reflection on the personality of a person so I don't see how it should affect anyone's choice of 'partner'.

if its just red spots its nothing, really. you'd probably look more attractive with a clean face but it's not everything and it will go away.

but boils..ew, and pimples that look like they are ready to pop? also gross. just don't get too close to me in that case, i guess.
