Pimples and Scars!!

My whole face is filled with pimples, whiteheads and scars and its driving me crazy. I'm just afraid that they wont go away, ever. Until I reached this forum while desperately looking for ways to get me a treatment.
I don't know what to do, sometimes I don't go out because of that and I feel so shy to get up close with someone. On a scale of 10, I've got Zero self confidence and every time I look at myself I have this feeling of smashing the mirror and just killing myself.
Is there any way I can get treatment? I've tried dermatologists and professionals but in vain, they've done absolutely nothing in getting my face better.
I would highly appreciate it if I could get help in here.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

Hi and welcome. Can you tell us about yourself so we can know more what's going on?

What treatments have the Drs given you? Any antibiotics offered? Accutane?
What products have you tried?
How is your diet?

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

I can recall names such as Effederm and Zeniac LP. They both didn't help me or maybe I'm just inpatient.
Right now I'm using Revlon Eternal thats what its called, i use it overnight.
For the record, I have a oily face skin.
I have a lot of scars cz i used to pop pimples and everyday i wake up discovering a new one, and they are really huge and red.

Hi Dolly!
Have you been offered any antibiotic pills or birth control? Sometimes that can turn things around if you aren't adverse to them.

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

oh and actually i collect some white soil (not sure if thats what its called), my mom incredibly turns them into powder in which i mix with water and apply as a mask. it looks green just like any other mask, but this one natural. i feel my face is very nourished when i wash it off, but the pimples are still there and the scars wont go away

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

Some birth control pills can actually help clear up the acne since they regulate the hormones responsible.

I don't think anything you put on your skin is really going to help. Maybe antibiotics would work better for you since they kill the germs in the pores that aggravate the acne.

You could check on the Acne board here and see what they recommend!
Hope you find the answer you're looking for and good luck!

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

I think you need to do skin peel, exfoliate and maybe change your daily diet.

Re: Pimples and Scars!!

DON'T exfoliate! I used battle teenage acne and the more "exfoliating" I did or had done on my skin, only made it worse! 4 years ago, I undergone C02 laser resurfacing (it helped mildly). Email me and lets chat - I have some good advice/stories thats I don't mind sharing with you.

Definitely ! My skin was exactly as you've described - once. My dermatologist put me on antibiotics and peeling scrubs, and retin -A. In four weeks I had a whole new face and a whole new outlook on life. Please don't give up on yourself and on the medical profession. If you find a good physician who prescribes the correct treatment you could find yourself on the road to recovery faster than you could imagine.
