I'm 14 and I have small pimples and at times, bigger ones. I've had them for a while. But they never went away. There are times when it gets better, but a couple days later, it returns to its hideous self. I even have a little bit on my cheek next to my nose. Help?

Talk to your doctor about it. My 12 year old daughters pediatrician prescribed a benzoyl peroxide wash and a topical antibiotic. She also just started her on differin gel. It has only been a week and she looks slightly better. We were told that its takes time and patience because it could get worse before it gets better as the remaining bacteria makes its way out of the skin. I'll let you know what's happening in a few weeks from now.

Thanks everyone for your helpful tips. I read about 85% of this page. I'm a 15 year old guy that has had awesome smooth skin especially on cheeks and I usually get pimples in and around eyebrow and I had a pimple on my chin and some on my nose that's it. And its funny because I had probably only 15 pimples (yes i can count them) and I'm looking up tips and worrying about them!

Well I guess I can give a tip...

Benzoyl Peroxide gels and stuff are ok and they are meant to dry the area and pore and protect it from oils but sometimes it can clog other pores and cause zits and sometimes its just a waste of money, time etc. and just irritates your pimples causing the tendency to touch them and scratch them. So put a little on after washing face before sleeping time and a little i mean like the size of a mustard seed. Sometimes don't even put it on at all so maybe do it every other day.

I think the Head And Shoulders stuff which I have been using was actually CAUSING the pimples on all over my head and scalp and eyebrows and even my nose because I have a weird tendency to let the water bring down the shampoo onto my face when I rinse in shower. So maybe try avoiding that I didn't do it yet but I'm going to switch tomorrow. I just looked this stuff up now.

And try using natural ways like baking soda and lemon stuff they explained there. Natural is the way to go! Environmentally friendly, healthy and effective! China has been doing it for centuries with there herbs and roots and look how healthy the 80 year olds are doing. Swimming kilometers during the Olympics!

So depending on your skin type you may try or avoid either the drying cleansers or the moisturizing cleansers. You don't have to read you can feel it even in the shower and especially after. Though drying cleansers will make your face soft it may not be the best sometimes.

Any boils and stuff I'm not an expert but Aloe Vera helps with any type of skin problem especially burns so you must try that. One of the best and natural remedies since history!

So I guess that's all I have. Get lots of sleep, don't stress, zits are normal don't worry what other people will think because everyone has a bad side to there body it's the way we were born. Drink lots of water until every time you go to the bathroom (this may sound gross but its good news) that your urine is as clear as the water you just drank. And eat healthy, keep clean and exercise.

Last tip: Did you know sweating once a day is healthy for your skin? Because your skin needs actual oils and if your sweating it means your pores are open and good. But too open is bad because bacteria and oils can get in and not out. Out= good in= bad.

Thats all. Thanks! buynsell22 AT hotmail.com

Try putting toothpaste on it overnight and your zit will dry out. If you use hairspray or any gel or hair products daily, the hair product may be clogging your pores so try to use less product or none at all. If nothing is happening try gping to www.skinid.com

I get the occasional pimples on my forehead, especially between my eyebrows. Since they only come once in a while, I can't help but to pick at them. (They are not even white-heads, just below the surface red pimples..) Recently, and countless times before, I would pick at them and then put a topical acne cream on top. These creams are benzoyl peroxide based, and more times than once they turned the pimple into large wounds across my forehead. Currently, I'm attempting not to pick at my pimples (its impossible!), straying away from harsh cleansers and creams- My latest experiment is honey... and for my already problematic benzoyl-peroxide overdosed pimple, i'm going to try to cure it with hydrocortizone cream. Does anyone else have my problem/ use hydrocortizone?
-I've read online that side effects could include acne.. so i think i should stay away, unless it will heal my wound...?

I have been having hot boils and severe acne on my forehead for the past 3 weeks or so. This is definitely due to a change in diet. I used to only or mostly eat vegetables, fruit, seeds etc (extreme diet) and I lost a lot of weight.. The minute I stopped dieting, and started eating meat and dairy on a regular basis, I noticed the horrible acne. I think it's the hormones that are regulated again, and the body reacting to a 'starting up', after being 'shut down' for so long. (extreme dieting does that).. So I'm hoping it will clear up after some settling down, 'cause I intend to stay on dairy and milk! But, I will try to drink more water, stick with SOME fruit and vegetables and a generally healthy diet. (but it's so hard..)

What I'm trying to do is :
Cut out bad food (very very hard)

Use Kiehl's Blue Cleanser for acne (quite strong though)

Vichy's Norma Derm (green) cleanser (this is good for sensitive skin, not too drying)

Vichy Norma Derm Active Anti-Imperfection Concentrate.

I suggest also, figuring out where your pimples are and finding out what that could mean. Pimples on the forehead usually indicate liver/kidney issues. Therefore, it's an issue with digestion. AKA FOOD. sort out your diet and u should be ok. A Forehead breakout is your skin telling you "I'm trying to get all the oil out but it's getting stuck". So eat healthy people. Peace.

Hey all! I would like to say, I for one had pimples on my forehead too! It was disgusting! I soon found out that it was...Vegemite! I used to have it on my toast EVERY morning and so as soon as I stopped they cleared! I would also advise you to watch what you eat and slowly eliminate each food and hope you guys all agree! Ahhh and drink lots of water and stay away from all those products! Go NATURAL ladies! oxoxox Ria oxox

To the 13 year old - please try eliminating certain foods from your diet to see if the acne goes away. Thats what we did for my brother (milk and cheese were giving him acne - maybe because of all the hormones they put in them?). The things you should try eliminating are dairy, wheat, meat and sugar. Often, pimples on the forehead is a result of way to much sugar (soda, packaged foods, white breads and other refined bread products, certain breakfast cereals etc). The best is to eliminate each one for 20-30 days (all three at once is best, but some people have trouble with that if their family or spouse doesn't cook accordingly or understand the importance). When you reintroduce the food, stay alert for how you feel or any changes in your skin in the next 15-72 hours. Often if you have an intolerance you will feel tired or bloated almost immediately. A nice side effect of this is that you will see what foods deplete your energy. When you have an intolerance, even a mild one, it keeps your body in a constant state of low to moderate inflammation (hence the acne). This reduces energy, makes it harder to absorb nutrients and diminishes the appearance of the skin. A LOT of people in the US have intolerance to dairy and wheat and are just starting to realize. In some other countries, they test babies at birth for wheat and dairy allergens - it is that common. We just live in a corporate farming environment, so there isn't as much choice in the grocery stores, plus like I said earlier, there are a lot of hormones in foods. Even if you don't have an intolerance, you could just be responding to hormones (which teenagers are more sensitive to than adults).

Hope that helps! I don't know that much, just the research my family did but you should be able to find other info online. Good luck :)

Well one thing I find useful is steaming. Pop the kettle on, and meanwhile get a largish basin or bowl and a largish towel. Then fill up the basin with the boiling water, and stick your head over it so you are looking down into the bowl (but be careful!), then put the towel over your head so there are no gaps, which ensures you catch all of the lovely steam. It's great for unclogging pores. Make sure you cleanse before, but DON'T tone or moisturize, just cleanse. Then when 7 minutes is up, splash your face with cold water to close the pores up again, then tone and moisturize.

I have bad acne too so you shouldn't feel alone because most people will get them eventually. Anyways I have a lot of pimples but mostly on my forehead, and its annoying because anything I use doesn't really work, usually though what happens is they get better for a while then get worse again. I've had these pimples on my cheeks, both of them. For a long time probably for almost 5 months now, and I'm so embarrassed. I have one of the most pimples in my class too. my face is also really blotchy too, so what I do is try not too stress about them, pick, or touch my face. It is hard I admit because I do it all of the time with my pimples. I'm just looking for some help here with my horrible, ugly, embarrassing acne! Thanks if anyone could help!
ps- I also have bags under my eyes too and I'm only 13 (ehh!) can anyone give advice with that too? thankss

Tea Tree Oil Works! Put spread it on your forehead after you've cleansed our face. THEN apply your moisturizer. It must be done in this order to work. (All treatments must be applied under your moisturizer in order for them to have an effect.)

You can find Tea Tree oil at heath food store. Good luck

hi everybody, i also have sooo many pimples. I asked my doctor and she said to use some next cream its a really long word, it has benzoyl peroxide in it. So then i used for about a week or two, and then 3 huge pimples came on to my nose right in the center. It was so embarassing going to school and getting called rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Then i stopped using dat cream and my zits went away but it took very long ...probably a month. but after they did i never used that cream again. For all u out there who have pimples, if ur skin is really sensitive dont use any creams, who knows wat will happen. usually the ppl who get pimples is because either ur about to get ur period, or because u sweat alot or cuz ur face is oily. just drink lots of water take a bath evry day (especially after working out),dont use any hairspray it just makes things worse ,dont touch dem becuse ur skin especially ur fingers hv lots of bacteria on dem. yeah dont stress bout em either, their only temporary even though they are hideous,and sumtimes if u stress about them you get stress zits.

take my advice, my mom spent $80.00 on the medication that just made things worse, its just puberty.i got pimples wen nobody else had them because i had my period later den evry1.

ps. 4 all da ppl who hv pimples even though they arent teenagers is because.. either you had a baby or because ur skin is really sensitive n u stress bout it ..dat also causes zits so dont stress,dont touch its something that happens naturally so just let them go naturally away. Im still waitingfor them to go...but its normal. dats all the info i know hope it helps !

I WOULD suggest to use nothing on your forehead pimples. Just wash your face 5 times a day and after that cover your face with an scarf to hold the oily or wet hair. Then do a simple warm up every 5 times a day. Don't do to much exercise, it will irritate your skin. After if you are sweating then wash your face or wipe your face. if it's dry then leave it I guess.
If you are over weight and trying to reduce weight then don't try to do too much work out in 1 month. It will warm your skin and make you break out more.
Just chill I have acne,scars, forehead pimples again.
But after trying all these if worked.
1) Always workout in the morning
2) Drink plenty of water.(6-8 glass)
3) Eat fruits and vegetable (Banana, apple, cherry and orange)
4) Get plenty of sleep! just try not to think about stupid acne.
5) Put aloe vera, glycerin and castor oil lotion on scars.
(Himalayas lotion)
6) Put small amount cream on blemish
7) Don't rub your face too much!
8) Do not touch your forehead pimples.

And believe me you will feel more confident and determined as well.

Hi there. My name is Sara. I'm 14 right now. I always had bangs until I was 11. Then I started sweeping them to the side. It was then when I noticed I got these tiny bumps on my forehead and in between my eyebrows and now im starting to get them by my mouth. I'm really self conscious about them. I hate wearing makeup to try and cover them up. My acne is controllable but those bumps are not. I just wish they would go away so I wouldn't have to wear makeup and so I could actually feel pretty for once.

Years ago I had very oily skin (be thankful for it in the long run, as your skin ages well!) - and I used medicated soap - then astringent - gradually I came to use Sea Breeze or Bonnie Bell's alcohol-based cleanser by itself - The I used benzyolperoxide ointments on bad pimples to dry them up - Later, for less oily ones, I found I could use ordinary hydrogen peroxide! Don't touch your face! It spreads germs! Use blotting papers during the day to get rid of excess oil - and only use cosmetics/powder, etc meant for your oily skin!(like Cornsilk) Take your vitamins! Don't try to cover up your skin with makeup - as it generally only makes it worse! Keep your hair clean and away from your face! Don't pop your pimples, as it will cause scarring could cause infection! If cleansing is too drying, use a non-oily moisturizer to restore skin balance. Use cleansing masks - like oatmeal - to cleanse skin.. once a week or so! Watch your skin & become your own skin scientist! If you develop the habit of taking care of it now, you will have the gift of lovely skin later! And follow all the suggestions above, too - You can do it! Good luck!

Katrina, Im facing the EXACT same problem! Im 12 and im fed up of my pimples! They're annoying and embarassing. But now ive noticed that they are becoming VERY less. Ill tell you what I did. Before, I used to drink A LOT of Coca Cola. But as soon as I stopped drinking it and instead started drinking LARGE quantities of water, my pimples reduced within a WEEK! It helps! And you should wash you r face atleast 5 times a day! And make sure that the soap that you are using, suits you. If you do as I told you, you'll see immediate results! Good Luck!

guys the reason u get pimples on ur back& upper chest and forehead is because of conditioner. The conditioner adds a layer of shine to your hair and if the conditioner touches ur body or face clogging your pores it causes acne. So my help to you is try taking a quick shower with not cold but not hot water. and dont use so much conditioner. Best if you dont use it at all. At a young age you shouldnt haf bangs because your hair always tends to get oily clogging pores in your forehead wich causes breakouts. hope i wuz a help ! =]

First see a dermatologist. The doctor will give you topical medicine to put on your acne or they might give you pills to take to help get rid of your acne. Next, don't wash your hair with dandruff shampoo. That only makes your forehead pimples worse. But make sure you wash your hair every day to help ease the dandruff and oils in your scalp. Finally, drink 6 glasses of water a day to clean out your system. Don't forget to wash your face. But be sure to see the dermatologist. You may need a doctor's help.

Hi there,

There is a treatment called "Micro Dermabrasion" I had the same problem as you and have been doing these treatments for nearly a year now and my face has shown great results. You must remember that these kinds of problems take time, and time will show great results. It costs roughly $50-$70 a session. It is very worth it and i can honestly tell you that it has worked for me and you should definitely try it.
If you live in qld, brisbane let me know and i can give you details of the lady i go to. Treatments are usually fortnightly.

Take care and good luck.

I have heard that you can get epsom salts, dampen
your face, and dab the epsom salts on your face, leave
for a little while, then rinse off. Do this nightly, and
your pimples will clear up after a few nights. My daughter in law swears by it!

This is easy, all you need is a tea bag (regular).
make some tea, and take the tea bag out and place onto a clean plate. then lie back and press it against the pimples (not too hard) for about 15 min. If it gets cold, put it in the micro for about 7 seconds. And place back on forehead once the temp has cooled to your comfort level. repeat this for 3-4 times a day with at least a 30 min break in between (leave the tea bag on for aprox. 15 min). It should tingle a bit once the teabag is removed. After 12-24 hours, the pimples should have cleared up without scaring. Don't rush the process, you should still keep your hands away from you face. And maybe even apply some moisterizer on after you are finished with the tea bag on account that it will dry that portion of you skin. If you don't see results after 24 hours, then repeat the process. Hope this helps.

Excessive washing of the skin is also a cause of breakout. You see the skin gets dried after the wash and it says okay put the oil in we are dry here. If you use to harsh an astringent it will go beserk and order double the oil to correct itself. Some people like myself cannot use scrubs as it irritates the skins. I have been dealing with breakouts since about 12 years old. So that is over thirty years for me. If you have the occassional breakout. Don't go crazy, spot treat. If it is constant you really should see a dermatoligist.

Now about the big huge boil like stuff. Try this it really works and it works on Stys too...

Make a regular cup of tea, like lipton or redrose. NOT a flavored tea. After steeping the tea bag. Take it out and put on a clean plate,(make up the tea and drink it.) take the tea bag while still warm and put on the boil or huge pimple. It will feel way warmer on the boil then on the surrounding skin. Hold it there as long as possible. If the tea bag cools warm it up for 1 second in the micro. make sure it is cool enough to put back on you. Do this like 3 to 4 times a day for a day or so. (about 15 minutes each time) Re-use the same tea bag, keep it in a baggie. Just dampen and reheat.

I feel a tingle sensation within the affected area and it starts shrinking within 12 to 24 hours and it heals up nice.

Large boils can be cyst based. So you should be careful. There is something in the tea that takes down the inflamation in cyst. My sister learned this from a herbologist.

Good luck!!

Is it possible to get an allergy from the sun now even though I never was before, and if they are just little tiny red dots that are coming all around my face what do you think it is and what would clear it up?

Been there-- A doctor told my son to use Neutrogena soap. It contains Benzol Peroxide. Not just for the face but to bathe in.It works.. don't experiment around with your face.Another tip: when washing hair lean backwards so that shampoo doesn't run down your face.

If you're only 10 and breaking out like this, it could be the precursor to a much more serious acne problem in your teenage years and beyond. Ask your parents to take you to a dermatologist now to get on a program to help keep your skin clearer. They have wonderful treatments nowadays, which will help you feel good about yourself and the skin you're in.

Poor diet is seldom the cause of breakouts. It has more to do with heredity. I speak from experience. From the age of 12 to 25 I never ate chocoloate, desserts of any kind, potato chips, French fries, or drank pop. I ate tons of vegetables, fruit and healthy foods. I was constantly broken out, although I washed often, kept my hair scrupulously clean, never touched my face, etc.

Quit smoking if you smoke. It has been proven to aggravate acne.Stay out of the sun and use the highest power, grease free sunscreen. Go see a doctor and get started with solving the problem! Best of luck!

Make a thick paste of baking soda and liquid soap and scrub gently twice a day. This surprisingly gentle but frugal & effective scrub really works! Over a couple of weeks the pores will unclog and you should start to clear up. Be sure to dab acne cream on the area at night. Check ingredients very carefully on every product you use on your face inlcuding soaps, makeup, etc. Never, under any circumstances, use any product that contains mineral oil. Mineral oil has been proven to worsen acne conditions and cause breakouts where none existed before. You absolutely do npt need a moisturizer if you're breaking out. It means you already have oily skin! Be careful, keep your face squeaky clean and good luck. If the acne doesn't respond to home treatments, you need to see a dermatologist. Don't wait around to do it. The treatments doctors provide nowadays are hugely effective and can make your teenage years happy instead of miserable. I'm speaking from experience here.

Katrina,

hullo! Yep, I had them too still do at my advanced
age though less. I found that buy using my mom's
maalox or generic brand will do fine it is for tummys
and I washed my face then put the maalox on my face and it dried like a mask and it had some drying
that works without using alcohol products that will hurt your skin, trust me I still use this and have some drying now and I will wash off with a clean washcloth... goodluck also put some oatmeal in a
sock and use it to wash your face, I used it for face and back........good luck and be happy!

I agree with the previous advice to avoid touching your forehead (especially if your hands are less than clean) and try not using styling products

I actually have had a bit of success using toothpaste to dry out pimples. It is cheap and not harmful to sensitive skin as some acne-fighting products can be. This having been said, it takes a couple of days. Dab a little on the pimple itself, and try not to let it be rubbed off. Wash in the morning, or after several hours.

In addition to keeping grease, dirt, and styling products away from your skin, I think it's important to find a non-irritating cleanser that is right for you. My skin needs something gentle and not too drying. I have had good results from Jason Satin Soap, which comes in a pump container. I like the chamomile and tea tree oil varieties. Simple glycerin soap is good, too. If your skin is very oily, you might need to crank it up a notch, but in my experience, anything harsh or irritating causes more problems than it solves.

After washing your face with an anti-bacterial or anti-acne soap, use a cotton ball saturated with Sea Breeze to go over your face. That is an excellent astringent, and as others have already said, you can get benzyl peroxide creams to put on the blemishes. When I was your age, I would have had to have a prescription, so thank goodness there are over the counter products that help.
I am wishing you the best, and know that you will soon have a clear complexion!

My teenagers have always used Dail antibacterial soap to wash their faces with. They are prone to break outs but this puts the skids on it.

Katrina,
Everything already said is very true. When Iwas a teenager I found that I was getting pimples on my forehead because of the type of hairspray I used. When I used the cheap stuff especially Rave I would break out. So if you use hairspray maybe try a different kind. Salon Selectives worked well. Also cover your forehead with your hand when you spray your bangs. Good luck.

I agree with the previous feedback-- when I was younger, I had to try hard not to touch my face with my hands, especially leaning on my hand during class, but it worked. Also, make sure you wash your face when you get up in the morning, before bed, and maybe even after school. I think face wash that includes anti-acne ingredients (salicylic acid 2%) and little beads or gritty, scrubby stuff works well. My favorite is Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub.
Some people say that toothpaste works, if you put it on the affected area before bed, but I never had much success with that.
Do you have bangs? These could bring oil from your scalp to your forehead, causing breakouts. Keeping your hair really clean will help, if that is the case. You could even consider growing out your bangs.

Try not to lean your head on your hand while you are reading, at school, etc. Get a bath puff scrubby at the dollar store and use it only on your face and keep it clean. Get an anti-acne product from the drug store to wash your face with.
