Minor daily acne?

Now, I don't have an acne problem, per se. At least, it's not like I need Proactive or anything like that. But nearly every morning I wake up with very tiny pimples...usually on my nose or in the corners where my nostrils meet my face. They're really not that big a deal. Just a quick pop or a good face scrubbing and they're gone for the day. My skin is pretty clear, thankfully, although I do sometimes get a large nasty pimple or two on my forehead from wearing a hat too often. I don't do much to my face, aside from wash it during the day and usually a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball before I go to bed.





My question is, when in the hell will I be done with it? What's the problem these days? Why do so many people continue to have acne, however minor, into their adult lives? I understand that some people have a more severe case, and thus require products like proactive and/or prescription drugs. But what about people like me who just have minor acne breakouts once in awhile?

Hey, I'm a skin care specialist and see problems like this all of the time. If you are not washing your face everday, then start. If you do, then I would suggest you stop using rubbing alcohol of your face, it can dry it out too much and cause your face to produce even more oil than normal at night. Use an astringent, if you feel funny buying one, then get your girlfriend to do it for you...lol. What you are experiencing is not acne, it is just pores that have been overwhelmed with sebacous oils. That is why you can squeeze it out and leave no marks. Use a moisturizer, men need it too. This will also cut down on the oil production.
Reply:I had the same problem. I found a facial cleanser that cleared them up. Try Olay deep facial cleanser for oily and combination skin. If it doesn't work, your only out 4-5 dollars.
Reply:You should never, under any circumstances--no matter


how small a pimple is--pop it or pick at it. That's a sure-


fire way to infect the pores where it grew; and it's going


to make way for a new one.


As for the larger ones that grow inside your hat, I'd sug-


gest treating those with the strongest anti-acne cream


you can find: there are so many to choose from, that it


can actually be a waste of time and money to consult a


dermatologist--unless you have an excessively-oily face.


(I I once knew a guy who had not only a "pock-marked"


complexion, but his pores seemed to pour out oil!)


Going back to your hat for just a moment: the thing is,


the constant sweat is what's preventing any pimples on


your forehead from going away; that's why it is plain %26amp;


simply imperative to keep them treated. (Another way


to try would be cleaning your hat's inside rim with a wash


rag, soap and hot water.)


Left untreated, any complexion--no matter how minor it


might seem--has the potential to not just worsen, but...


worse yet... develop a case of some sort of skin rash--


such as rosacia.





Best of health %26amp; good luck.
