So this has been bugging me for a while, but I don't want to visit wikipedia since I think that RMN could come up with a better answer.

My question: what is acne really (besides lolred), how do you get it (is it rasism errr racict errrrr uhhh racial, that's it), do you have it? See, like, I've never had acne so I don't know ANYTHING.

Follow-up bonus question: how exactly do those HERBAL GREATER PANACEAS ESUNAS REMEDIES work? Do they cause the lolred to boil or something?


Quick help I have to write an essay on this for my middle-school class
between rpg maker internet forum and encyclopedia you chose rpg maker internet forum. your logic escapes me.

Ive never had acne either so I don't know.. What Rockman said I guess.
seriously wikipedia has a load of pretty great information.

Follow-up bonus question: how exactly do those HERBAL REMEDIES work? Do they cause the lolred to boil or something?
a lot of herbal remedies are anti-inflammatory (i.e. they treat the symptoms, inflammation of the skin around the blocked pore, rather than the cause, pore blockage) but most are either unproven or have no effect!

I have never had more than three pimples on my face.
Sometimes I get a light acne rash from shaving with out cream, but its not really the same thing. I had a bit of it when I was in highschool, and I think that the best thing to do is to just try to cut back on the sugary or greasy foods and wash your face twice a day with a mild soap (ie Jergens or something). I don't reccomend topical or herbal products. Your body usually has a way of dealing with these things on its own, and if its your way to have acne scars then you're going to have acne scars and unless you want to have a career as a skin model (?) you can just bite the bullet and say "oh well, I have acne."

On a related topic, it can be hard to accept your own physical imperfections. I have a finger that got caught in the car door when I was three and its got this wired scar across the pad, down to the knuckle. Its not exactly attractive but you can't really do anyhting about it, its just easier to learn to live with it. I also got kicked in the testicles playing soccer once which resulted in vericoceles. Its not visible and fairly minor, I can feel them when I look for them (when I touch my balls lol), but its the kind of thing you always know is there and that you are somehow not 'optimal' because of it. Its embarassing, yeah, but its the kind of thing you have to learn to live with...
I hope a card was issued!

actually varicose testical veins is probably a less serious football injury than 'whoops I guess your shoulder won't be in the right place anymore and will always feel uncomfortable !! oh btw you can never play football again'

My only physical imperfection is that I have terrible eyes, so I sadly do not have these COPING SKILLS (oh god Max I am always going to associate you with those words)... although I suppose I don't need them.

No acne, no broken bones, no scars, no major burns... I suppose that makes me lucky.


btw guys I'm not in middle-school (fyi; qfl)

This.

Also, (I don't know if this is valid biologically but) I am going to go out on a limb and say that it can typically be just a general side-effect of PUBERTY and your body's reaction to adolescence, though. In a lot of cases it can clear itself up (or at least alleviate partially) just with the natural passage of time!
I have acne but it's rather mild 80% of the time. Of course it goes up and down and sometimes it swells up my face. The funny thing is it didn't appear until I was about 16 and I had never had a spot before in my life. No one else in my family ever got acne so it's strange why I did. Like people have said, it's something that happens with puberty, I'm in no way unclean, I've just got acne. End of.

I went to see my doctor about them the other week and he's given me a two month course of some antibiotics and Gel.
I've never really had acne either, but that may be more of a racial thing; different ethnicities may have a lower/higher susceptibility to it. However, I'd wager that washing your face and keeping your pores clean should help out plenty.
It's kinda funny how everyone is saying to wash your face with all these detergents and herbs but from my experiences, I can honestly say they're just going to wash away your money if anything else.

My story:

In college, I started to get pimples so I was recommended to get some facial wash. I used that with an expensive moisturiser and the spots went away.

Fast forward, six months and start to get acne. Doctor says it's hormones so I left them (ugh, they looked nasty though).

Fast fast forward to about 4 months ago, I still got acne but now they started to appear more frequently. I decided to stop using anything on my face (except for a moisture containing jojoba oil) and now the acne's gone. It's still scarred but I am weary that it'll come back so I don't wash my face at all with chemicals.

I'll use soap once I think it's safe but right now I feel the skin that I once had before college has returned (there's an acid mantle on your skin that's suppose to prevent foreign things getting into your skin).

The downside is spots but they don't scar unlike acne. Acne and spots are a couple of life's terrible existent.

Yeah, but when I say 'wash your face', I really mean just with water and the occasional Noxzema. It does wonders.
Yeah water's good if you have a chloride filter in your taps. Seriously that stuff dehydrates your skin, try using distilled water and notice the glow you get.

edit: I didn't steal distilled water bottles from lab classes.
Well...I've modeled for a few years so I know of some tricks. This is gonna sound pretty gross but...ever wonder how those models/actors seem to have perfect skin but never tell their secret? That's because it's gross...semen and/or urine. If you can stomach it, dab some(your own, for Ra's sake... :o ) on your face and say goodbye to acne and blemishes...

Depends. Doctor said I might have to say goodbye to the family jewels (at least one of them) if it gets worse.

I suffer from miserable acne but it might be due to forgetting the aftershave instead of lolhormones.
... so long as you don't get the new SUPER ACNE that is invading suburban schoolyards :o.

That stuff will combat your pesky antibiotics (and your ESUNAS).

As for me, my acne seems to go in swings and bounds, from getting bad for awhile to clearing up. Also, I'm not sure whether it's better to pop the suckers early or just let them grow ~naturally~.
Either way you're screwed. Acne leaves scarring that takes years to fully go away although popping them the wrong way leads to prolonged scarring.
