Spots

[indian8132]

Hello all :)

I have got a few spots, and just now one split. This white yucky stuff came out, and I will admit, I have a weak stomach and I dont like the sight of it. Im 13, so its just growing up, puberty, yea?

Does it make me a man :D

Regards,
Sean

[clarissa !!]

no, it makes you spotty not a man.

[indian8132]

no, it makes you spotty not a man.

Dam.. But its growing up, so im becoming a man :D

no, its pours.
they need to be deeply cleansed.

[indian8132]

Yes, can anyone reccommend like, cleansing treatment? Something to stop the spots and clear greasy skin? I notice thats coming on aswell now.. I dont really want to go ask mum to get me spot cream or acne cream, I would rather get it myself but I dont know any brands... apart from Oxy something..

[Elw00d]

im 18 and still get the odd spot
its down to what you eat,
drink plenty of water, dont ******* touch it ,
dont buy anything like clearesel as they spread the spots to make you buy more...
drink water and have hot showers then rinse your face with cold water from the sink, this opes the pours, cleans them and closes them.

I must admit, my diet is pretty crap. I eat lots of sugary foods, fizzy drinks and crisps. Could this be contributing to the problem

[Elw00d]

yes, if you drink about 4 pints of water a day you will have beutiful skin, it sounds alot but its not, 1 in the morning, botte at shool, one when u get in, and one before u go to bed..
it cleans the skin from the inside out, so try tht

Does it have to be at them times, or can it be like all in the morning? And how long will it take before I notice the change in skin

[Elw00d]

best to balance it out thru the whole day..
and should notice the change in a day or two, dont expect it to go completely.. your bound to get a few spots over puberty, this is just a way that helps it stop spreading etc.

Is there any anti grease or spot cream that actually works?

[clarissa !!]

[indian8132]

I just found this bottle of tea tree of my sisters hidden sopmewhere in her draw (she let me look) and it expired over a year ago and its yellow :rolleyes:

So thats no good, how about Sudocreme, and Velocity what you mean who has none whatsoever?

[clarissa !!]

[indian8132]

[clarissa !!]

cleaning your face twice a day.

[indian8132]

cleaning your face twice a day.
with what, water?

[cocaine]

clearasil works perfectly for me?

i have a **** diet and i barely have any spots.

[clarissa !!]

with what, water?
face wash

[indian8132]

how long would it take if i washed my face twice daily for the blackheads to go? and matt, what is your diet

edit - facewash, like that clearasil facewash?

[cocaine]

my diets usually fizzy drinks & junk.

[indian8132]

[indian8132]

Good Idea, forgot about that :p +Rep =]

Last thing, does anyone know how to make hair nice? Mine isint great, I got dandruff and apparently if I put vinega in my hair and leave it overnight it will get rid of it and it doesnt smell in the morning..... These Anti dandruff shampoos take weeks to work!

[cocaine]

Good Idea, forgot about that :p +Rep =]

healthy stuff like pastas quite good for you as well.

[indian8132]

I love pasta!

[DiscoPat]

Use toothpaste on the spot

[indian8132]

Use toothpaste on the spot
Toothpaste? Why

Edit - For the dandruff problem, I have covered my head in vinegar and wrapped it, and will sleep on it and will tell you guys in the morning if it worked :)
Goodnight, and God Bless.

[DiscoPat]

Because of the mint thing inside it allows the skin to "breath", if you like..

[Concentric2]

I have heard of them before, how do you get rid of them
They're the start of a spot, where the dirt/grease clogs the opening of the pore. If you leave it the pore will try to secrete oils which won't be able to escape due to the blockage, causing it to swell and fill with "white yucky stuff" :P

It sounds yucky but you can get rid of them by squashing the skin on either side with your nails, forcing the dirt out. Then wash the skin as usual.

I have quite severe acne on by back and shoulders and am taking antibiotics which you can have prescribed by a GP (or, in my case by a dermatologist), but it doesn't sound like yours are nearly as bad. Just wash your face thoroughly and tackle the blackheads early :)

[BellyButtons]

I heard toothpaste works well on spots, personally i've never used it so if it goes horribly wrong do not blame me.

Don't use a "spot cream" but instead of washing your face with soap get like a special face cleaner thingy. I use this stuff and i've not had a spot in agesssss, it works well. Soap on your face don't help.

[indian8132]

Ok, so I just woke up (Im lazy, I know :P) and the vinegar on the head to treat dandruff? Didnt work much.. Still a bit, I admit its better, but its still got a bit there. Any solourtions you know to make dandruff better?

+Rep for good suggestions, and thank you for the spot suggestions, keep them coming in :D

[cocaine]

vinegar? :S

i want a bit of whatever you lot are on.

[clarissa !!]

vinegar? lol that would just dry your hair out giving you more..

[wishing]

although your diet and amount of water u drink DOES affect how many spots u get, its not always the case. i eat healthily and always have done, i drink water throughout the day with a couple exceptions and have fresh air. but getting spots can be hereditary, so theres a few unlucky people out their like me who can eat healthy, drink water, have a healthy lifestyle and still have to work really hard to keep their spots at bay.
it sucks tbh.
i dont have loads, and most i do have can be hidden by makeup, but i dont have perfect skin and i hateee it.

[indian8132]

i found the vinegar solourtion on this home remedies site

[efq]

4 cups of water a day?

Ima try that!

[indian8132]

What does IMA mean?

[Papershop]

lmmaoo

Rites lets get this straight.
Try sudocrem on your spots. within a few days you should see a difference.
And just use anti-dandruff shampoo?
And toothpaste just drys the spot out

anything else?

[DiscoPat]

I think he means, I'm going to', by IMA. Lol.

[cocaine]

Ima means "I'm going to".

[indian8132]

Ima for im going to :S Ok..

Anyway, trying sudocreme and I can see a difference already. Anti dandruff shampoo takes, like, weeks for it to work, and I was wondering if you can get it faster

Apart from that, I am ok no more problems

[font]

I've read that it's been proven junk food doesn't cause spots - if anybody wants to read I'll have a look around.

I have spots - quite a few, best thing is the sun. It's helped mine a lot :)

BTW, Head and Shoulders works for dandruff :D

[Calzeh]

Why are you embarrassed to ask your mum to get you spot cream? And why would you have to ask her in the first place.

My skin varies from clear to the odd spot, depending on the time of month. I don't get many spots, but I got this cream off the doctor for when I do. It's very good, I think one of the main ingredients is peroxide. I also found that using the pill changed the amount of spots I got. I would ask your doctor about both issues, since you're under 16 you'll get free prescription. Don't be embarassed about asking, there are way more embarassing things to have to see your doctor about, like smear tests and internal examinations.

About the dandruff, keep at it with the head and shoulders. You probably wont get overnight results. There are other anti dandruff products in the shops too. Try asking in boots/superdrug etc, and chat to your doctor about it.

Hope this helps.

yes, if you drink about 4 pints of water a day you will have beutiful skin, it sounds alot but its not, 1 in the morning, botte at shool, one when u get in, and one before u go to bed..

LMAO
Yes because it is that easy dear
It has been scientifically (yes scientifically *+*+*) proven that what you eat and drink will not effect you getting more or less spots and just ask your mother to get you some cream, it isn't hard to ask and you will feel better about it.

[dirrty]

i use clearasil and it hasnt got rid of all the spots on my face, but compared to what it was before, its improved.

[Ashley 12344]

Toothpaste works well.

Don't pick them, as it'll turn a spot into a scab, which looks like a spot but lasts longer.

Make sure you dry your hair properly, and anti dandruff shampoo is much better than nothing.


I find school contributes to spots a lot.
In 6 weeks holiday, and usually the 2 weeks I get none.

[indian8132]

I just feel embarressed about asking my mum to get that.. Dont know why, I mean, wouldnt you feel embarressed too if you had to ask your mum? Some people say that some spot creams like Clearasil dont work, and some say it does, but I think it varies for your skin types.

[Shinigami]

For the dandruff I'd say not to use Head & Shoulders. I used it for ages before and no difference. Now I use Elvive Anti-Dandruff Intensive. It worked from the first time I've used it, and it's good if you have greasy hair as well. http://www.lorealantidandruff.com/index.htm. Also, you can get a free sample on the site

I think I might get like, loads of free samples :)

[rdbok]

yeah clearasil and all that pish dosnt really stop sopts, just spreads them out, so it stops you getting HUGE ones, you just get loadsa of little ones. My advice: have a hot shower every day/ wash your face with hot water and soap (no ****) every day, should help.

[Shinigami]

lmao I'm sure there's a restricted amount of samples per household ;)

i wasnt embarassed?

[indian8132]

well how can i ask her, the right time?

[Jcshua]

Oxy and Clearasil are the best to use.
Get the face scrubs (With the sand bits or whatever it is the kill all the dry skin and open up the pores.) The oils and the wipes.

:).

[Shawnstra]

Drink water :)

if you can get one of these, buy it

I use them and they're REALLY good, my spots cleared up within a week of using it.

[Zuay]

SURE ITS NOT HACKNEY?

[Ry]

Sometimes my spots clear up and some times they come in surges, i've tried everything, the Doctor gave me antibiotics which did help, Perhaps consult him if your having trouble with them. He will advise best :P

[PaintYourTarget]

well how can i ask her, the right time?
"Mum, grab me some clearisil when you go Tesco next, cheers."

[indian8132]

it's not embarrasing?:S i wasn't embarrased.. ;s

[indian8132]

lol suppouse your right caution i will tell her asap

[PaintYourTarget]

but isint it embarressing?
Well, you can see spots on your face so she might clock on soon enough and ask you herself?
Tbh, I wouldn't think twice about it.

[beth]

but isint it embarressing?
i imagine a face full of yellow-heads is more embarrassing tbh :).
