Just wanted to know what is the best way to treat acne while working in a job that involves me sweating all day in a dirty environment. Everyday I get new whiteheads during the day.. any suggestions??Treat acne, while working in sweaty job?
my hubby suffers with the same problem as you, he is a steel fabricator and welder so the dirt and sweat off his job makes it worse, we found that soap with tea tree oil in helps and a facial sauna, you know the things women usually own but never use? same as putting your head over a bowl of hot water, it seems to clean all the dirt out of his skin pores. hope this was of some helpTreat acne, while working in sweaty job?
Short term treatment - keep the face as clean as possible during breaks in the day. At minimum, wash with soap and water. At best, use an exfoliate and astringent. Another option may be to wear a headband or hat to prevent some of the sweat from running down the face.
Long term - see a dermatologist to get some antibiotic (e.g. tetracycline) treatment. Over time, this will reduce acne.
since it seems impossible to put anythin on his face during da day,it best to cleanse da face before bedtime and apply moisturiser or tree tea oil. eucerin,NEUTROGENA is a good brand.its best to take multivitamins during da day..make sure dat it contains zinc as zinc promote healing and helps acne.
If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Drink lots of water to help get rid of your toxins; keep up with the ti-tree oil treatment as this is antibacterial (and an immuno-stimulant); try facial massages with Essential Oil of Geranium (balances sebum secretion) but make sure you have diluted it in a carrier oil first! Good luck!
PS if you are past your mid-twenties you could have a food allergy which is causing your acne...
Wash well and dry thoroughly then treat with an astringent, to day it up
During the day constantly wash(say every half-hour or when ever ur face feels greasy)with cool water, a gentle (baby, if possible) cleanser and pat dry with a smooth hand-towel. Try wearing a flea-net, but not a mask,if it's dust bothering you. At night, go to sleep in a cooler environment having treated ur face to a moisturiser pack. If you don't ur face wil soon get dry and chapped.
cant say this will cure it but if you eat a banana every day you get less spots.

I have a skin problem, its acne. What do you think could work to treat it more efficiently and faster?
What could work best, soap, pills, or something else?I have a skin problem, its acne. What do you think could work to treat it more efficiently and faster?
Go to a dermatologist (or at the least go to an esthetician that has trained in skin care). They specialize in treating special skin cases such as acne. Make an appointment at a place that sells a good line of skincare for a consultation or get recommended to a dermatologist. Don't use soap on your face it's so drying it can make the problem worse. (the pills are full of controversy, so make sure to ask lots of questions if recommended pills.) Get a full regimen of products including face washes, treatments and moisturizers. (Don't use Proactive, it seems to work however long term dryness can occur.)I have a skin problem, its acne. What do you think could work to treat it more efficiently and faster?
pro-active is really good
Your best bet is to go to a dermatologist. Only he can see exactly what's going on, and either give you the advice, medications, or prescriptions that you'll need. Just keep in mind that acne can leave scars that last a lifetime. Best of luck to you.

Can doxycycline be used topically to treat acne like clindamycin?
No, its chemical structure does not lend to effective absoption via the skin. Doxycycline has recently been approved in gel form for dental use, but it has to be applied directly to the gum and tooth pocket to be effective.
There are some members of the tetracycline family still marketed for topical use in acne. They are not used much since the development of other, more effective products, such as clindamycin and erythromycin.Topical tetracycline is available in the following dosage forms:
Chlortetracycline - Ointment (U.S. and Canada)
Meclocycline - Cream (U.S.)
Tetracycline - Ointment (U.S. and Canada),Topical solution(U.S.)
Hope this helps.

Any tricks to treat acne?
i mean are there any tricks besides drinking alot of water and preventing greasy foods to prevent acne?? i have acne but it is not so severe that i need a $20 acne treatment, i just want to use something that i can find at my houseAny tricks to treat acne?
toothpaste does not work thats just a stupid little rumour.
Try changing your pillowcase like once every week (or even
more often than that) becuz the oil in your face goes into your
pillowcase wen your sleeping, and then sleeping on the same
pillowcase every night puts more oil into your face which
causes pimples.Any tricks to treat acne?
toothpaste, dries the little nastys right up. Plus it has a cooling effect which is rather pleasant. Just dab some on there, let it dry and wash off. It will really reduce the size and redness of them.
Preventing greasy foods doesnt really work. Some say that if you put toothpaste on it, it will dry it up. I have also heard an ice cube may help (but it didnt work on my pimple). Good luck.

Natural remedies to treat acne?
O.K. this is the best there is to offer and it's cheap compared to all the things the stores offer. Bragg's apple cider vinegar wash your face and any other area with it daily. It cleans and disinfects all your pores. Your skin will thank you and it will help scars too.Natural remedies to treat acne?
Ok I use this 3 times a week and it does wonders!
Ingredients:
Epsom Salt
Oatmeal
Equipment:
Blender, coffee grinder, or food processor
Measuring cups
What you do is you put a 1/4 cup epsom salt and 1 cup oatmeal in a blender or whatever you have and mix it until it becomes a fine powder.
Directions:
3 times a week or more, when you take a shower dab a little bit of the mixture onto your fingertips. Then put 2 or 3 drops of water on the mixture on your fingertips and the gently rub onto your face for 30 seconds to a minute. Then rinse off.
The epsom salt penetrates any pimples and dissolves whiteheads or dirt trapped in the pore. While the oatmeal soothes and calms pimples causing them to be less red and shrink.
I promise your face will look healthier the second time you use it.
Epsom Salt and Oatmeal are natural products so there is no wierd side effects.Natural remedies to treat acne?
I would have to agree with virt. Using all organic products is going to be your best bet for acne.
I would suggest a castile soap cleaner
A toner with some ACV, pure witch hazel, aloe, tea tree, many things you can choose
your weekly scrub can be made if you like. I make mine with organic sugar, honey, and some organic oils.
You can then follow that with some tea tree in a oil base(coconut and emu are wonderful).
I would suggest products from mountain rose herbs or a health store.
I like mountain roses:
lemon face cleaner
followed by toner ( I now use jsut a flower water)
my once a week I use their facial scrub(or I make my own)
followed by their Restorative Skin Oil ( I also add a bit of emu oil with tea tree)
Tea tree works wonders and there are lots of products on the market that have it in it. But just a bottle of tea tree oil and you can apply to each pimple or add a few drops to your face wash and use. First suggestion however would be to make sure all the products you use on your face are natural. Read the ingredients, do your homework...most acne can be from the products you already use.
Smh @ that potato answer.
USE ALOE VERA.
MY NAN GAVE ME SOME .. IT WORKED.
RUB ALOE VERA ON THE PROBLEM AREAS.
cut a lemon in half and scrub it over the acne, let it sit for 10 minutes then wash it off.
scrape it off with a potato peeler

I've had bumps on my face for a while. They are not acne. Does anybody know what they are,or how to treat it?
I have had them for a while, and sometimes, when squeezed, stuff may come out. Facial scrub seemed to help a little, but I want to get rid of them for good.I've had bumps on my face for a while. They are not acne. Does anybody know what they are,or how to treat it?
