Try this:

- Severely cut down on carbohydrates.

- Immediately stop taking sugar on purpose, ie, no sugar in tea, coffee and all drinks. Get your sugar from fruit.

- Increase vegetable intake.

- Use Proactive Solution

- Increase exercise.

Hmm I do eat alot of Vegetable, fruits and exercise 1 - 2 time a week but i think is because my sweat and due to my skin is very oily that causes the pimple acne...

I heard this from a website: Acne cannot be cured but it can be maintained. Drugs like doxycyline is effective to treat acne problems but antibiotics do have some side-effects. Another drug called acutane is used to treat major acne problems but it has some major side-effects. Creams are not as effective as those that are orally taken. Stress can also contribute your body to producing more oils and thus causing pimples. - I hope this helps.

Re: Acne
 

doxycyline? I taken before and most of the antibiotics in singapore i already tried but still no good effect even the skin center doctor don't know what to do with me. I been with few "SO CALL FAMOUS" skin doctor well still the same worst of all is that all this doctor fee cost me a bomb :(

Re: Acne
 

then I think u should take accutane. My sister got allot of pimples too then she took accutane and the pimples have gone down abit. Like 70% lesser.

Re: Acne
 

When you severely restrict carbohydrates, you will find yourself sweating less and feeling less oily.

Antibiotics are so effective that they kill both beneficial and bad bacteria in your system. You will also find that your tastebuds become less sensitive which results in your looking for food that is highly enhanced( plenty of MSG, spices...etc ). This not only aggravates the situation but becomes bad for health over time. Moreover, antibiotics encourage dependency. Once you drop them or even try to take less, the acne will return with a vengeance.

Acne cannot be cured but you can try to understand how your body works and follow that lifestyle.

I also had same problem when doing NS. Environment dirty and diet change. And went NSC also. Doctor say maybe homones. Most impt is DO NOT squeeze the acne so wont have scar left! (Too late for me now :() This post also have some advice: http://forum.sammyboy.com/showthread.php?t=29862

Re: Acne

Re: Acne
 

Eh do you mean oil blotters??? Yes but many people said that using this will cause more acne...

Re: Acne
 

Maybe i can share my experience. Maybe it can help you. When I was young, i very care about how i looked. I was always checking my face in the mirror. I had outbreak after outbreak of pimples. Once one outbreak is over, another outbreak will come. One day, i got to know a girl. She become my girlfriend. That made me even more concerned about my look. But my girlfriend say she really do not mind my pimples. So gradually, i do not bother much about my look. FROM THE TIME I MENTALLY DO NOT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT MY LOOK, my pimples outbreak become lesser and lesser and soon, no more pimple outbreak. So i become believe that if i do not stress myself about my pimple, my mind is relaxed and pimples disappear. From then onwards, i do not spend money on any cream or medication for my face. just use normal cleanser and water and i wash my face only when i bath. so usually only twice a day. i believe once you mentally relaxed about your looks, your pimple will clear up.

Yes, it works for me too. Orange contain very rich Vit C.

Also, drink more water may help! At least reduce heaty in the body and oily problem also become less. That's what happened to me.

Cheers!
