My son suffers from acne?

26/07/2010 admin 11 comments

Ok. Hello everyone. My son is almost 17 years old, and suffers from acne for about 2-3 years.
His face is better than it used to be but is still a serious problem.

I want to help him. I tried some products online about natural healing. Most of them talk about a fast. They say that by throwing away the toxics of the body will help the body heal acne itself. But there are problems to these ways. For example they say for almost 2 months some certain foods should be avoided like meat, like milk and other.
How will a 17-year-old boy live and grow without milk and meat. Also they speak about detoxification of the body. We also visited a dermatologist.

Now my son drinks 2-3 cups of detox tea daily, tries to avoid some food, uses dalacin c 1% in the morning, adaferin 0.1% at the evening and washing his face with dermac soap twice every day.

Do you think this will help him ? Do you have any further suggestion ? In the next 10 days we will visit again a dermatologist. Tell me what to do…

You should use proactive.

I used to think it was a scam, but I tried it and now my skin is much better than before.

I admit, it’s expensive, but it works very well.

If he is in to sports or anything like that it may just be a result of dirt that sits on his face after he is done with his activity. If he does play sports i would try telling him to wash his face immediately after he is done just so he can get all the dirt of his face. If he is not in sports then i dermatologist is the right way to go.

make sure he’s drinking water, that always flushes out your system. I’m using a face wash right now that is really good. you can get it at meijer, target or walmart…it’s called Acne Free. I’ve heard that it’s better than proactive, plus it’s easier to buy. You don’t have to wait to get it, just go to one of those stores and it’ll be right there. You use it twice a day, or if you son is prone to having real dry skin, then just use it once a day. it’s a three step thing. I’ve been using it for about a month and a half and I don’t get anymore break-outs. It’s about $20, but it is really worth it. Good luck!

Honestly, this worked for me….

Wash your face with hot water and soap. Dry, and then get a hot rag. Apply to the affected area for a bit to really open up the pores.

Then squirt some lemon juice in the palm of your hand from one of those little plastic yellow lemons, and apply to your face.

Be prepared to hit the ceiling, but that citric acid will kill a multitude of germs and really tighten up the pores on your face.

I read this and it makes a huge difference on what type of acne he has. He either needs to use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide depending on whether or not her has mostly blackheads, red bumps, or whiteheads…
Provide him with some Clean n’ Clear oil sheets (you can use them throughout the day to wipe off excess oil and they are small enough to fit into a small section in a backpack or the pocket of pants or shorts).
As for soap, I would go with Dial or Lever 2000. He needs to hear his skin squeak when he rinses the soap off…anything that moisturizes needs to be avoided such as Dove.
I’ve heard that Listerine (the blue kind) helps for back/neck acne if he has a problem there as well.
Any sort of astringent (i.e. Seabreeze, Witch Hazel) could be used.
Make sure he isn’t washing his face too much and isn’t picking! That, I’m sure you know, leads to scarring. If he’s concerned with scarring and skin condition, get him some Vitamin E pills.
I really hope this helps…I had acne for a long time, and I know it can be really annoying and disheartening…

I am a 19 year old who began having acne when I was about twelve. When I first visited a dermatologist, I was precribed certain antibiotic pills and topical lotions to fight the acne, and after trying a few through the years, I have been able to control my acne well for about 5 years now. It is also important to wash the face twice a day with a gentle non-comedogenic soap. However, if he chooses to use any products that contain salicylic acid, it is important that it doesn’t overdry his skin, which is something that can make the acne worse.

This being said, the best thing to do, in my experience, is to find a dermatologist who will prescribe such medications, such as Differin and Clairol. Generic versions of these medications can be obtained rather inexpensively. It is untrue that getting rid of bodily toxins through fasting will cure acne, as acne is caused by the oil produced as a result of genetics and hormones. Stick with your instincts about the milk and meat – do not keep him from eating those as they are necessary in the growth process.

Another option is to try Proactive, as I have a few friends that have found the product very useful.

Have you tried Proactiv…i think that you can buy it from the info-mercials on TV…and if it doesn’t work you can send it back and get your money back. I was blessed enough not to have acne…but a friend of my had acne so severe that he had to be put on Acutane for a while, and after being put on the medicine his acne cleared up. Acutane is something you could talk to his dermatologist about and see if it is right for him.

Here you go – this link says it all.

Diet is not a cause and does not help.

The medications the dermatologist prescribed have been shown to be safe and effective in treating acne.

Don’t take other medications while taking what the doctor prescribed, unless the prescribing doctor says it is ok.

I’m so sorry for your son. I’ve had acne all my life. I’m twenty five now and it’s finally under control. My best advice to you is stick with the dermatologist. They really are the best help. I tried everything proactive, acne free natural treatment. Nothing helped. The only thing that helped me were prescribed medications from my doctor If your son doesn’t eat certain foods it may rob his body of vital nutrients. I hope this helps and I think that you’re a great parent for helping him.
