I have suffered many pimples since this July. They appeared on my face and other body parts again and again. The fact is I never had them before, even through the whole adolescence. I pay much attention to my diet, not too much salt, not spicy etc. But they still exist. Maybe it is because I have been under pressure and worried too much in the second half year? I am not sure, just hope they can go soon without any scar. As this is quite annoying. And what do you usually do to get of them?

if a pimp bother me. i usually wash my face an anti bacterial soap or a toothpaste,its quite refreshing for its mentol feeling. try it.. if it doesn't work consult it to a dermatologist.. some says pimple is part of our growing stage. and too much fat intake is causing pimple,and a stress life too..

As to the soap, I remembered that one of my classmates always used the laundry soap to wash face during the college. And her face was clean, white and smooth, no pimples. That is werid. But is the toothpaste good for our skin?

i think its safe,because i tried it many times and putting a toothpaste dot in my pimple overnight is effective too.. if you dont like,you can try bioderm ointment its effective for me..

I think the toothpaste is more convenient for me. And which toothpaste flavor will you recommend, the green tea or the menthol? The green tea flavor might be more mild.

Pimples are normal and not so unhealthy. U just may feel U are not looking good with them but they go off with time. I would suggest you to apply sandal soap (if they are available in China) or the best is apply sandal wood paste on ur face.

Hey, Bodhi. Yah, everyone see me says: look at you, what happened to your face? I know there is no ill will they say this. But I am still a little embrassed. I'll take your advise and let the pimples grow and disappear.

Can U check out if Sandal soaps are available down there or not? I bet it works. And if people mock you like that, it will really be difficult to live in such a condition. You might consider making friends who don't care how you look but cares how your heart is. Let me know your progress, I would love to know what you decided.

Hi! Most of us have faced the same problem when we are still a teenager, I understand that it is quite annoying. Since you are taking care of your diet, I think it is probably come from the pressure and worried that you have, try to de-stress yourself by make yourself relax, try to have enough sleep and clean your face and body more frequent. Some people may produce more wax or oil from their skin when they are stress. Applying some vitamin E (you can just buy some vitamin E capsule and break it and apply them on your skin, it helps) will help to reduce pimples. and at the same time, it improve your skin condition. Hope this will help. good luck!

Hai Sunli.....I don't have such problem on my face...My face is clean and soft... I will not eat chicken,Ice cream etc...I think, that will be the reason for my clean skin...I don't like to eat Ice creams...These things will add fat on your body....The over use of meat,fish ,egg and the Coconut oil in dishes will help your body to make pimples on the face....Some of my friends are suffering from this problem....They always washes their face with pure and cool water..It will keep the skin clean....Try this..It will help you...Or See a skin doctor and he will help you to avoid pimples.... Thank you....

Thanks for your suggestion but I am not going to see the dermatologist. They will only give me some expensive medicines. And I don't like to take medicines.

There are many ways to get rid of them sunli123. Since your paying attention with your diet then pay more attention also on your hygiene. But it is still getting worse then try to take medication such as anti bacterial pills. Atleast this would address in some how your pimple problem. happy mylotting sunli123.

I am still getting pimples and I am 49! Most of my pimples are stressed related. When I was a teenager I had my share of acne! I never got over my acne! Looking back I realize I stressed myself out alot,for no reason! So that is probaly why I've had acne issues all my adult life! I think your pimples are probaly stress related! If they get worse I would go to a dermotolgist for advice.

Hi Blue65packer. Yes, the stree might be one reason of my pimples. I had been in a negative atmosphere in the past 5 or 6 months. And I felt disappointed, angry, worried etc. I am planning for a trip now and hope this can help release these negative feelings.

I've been having those kind of pimples on my body whenever I was pregnant. I can't take any medication since the doctor ask me not to, just let them grow and eventually they'll dissapear. And yes they were when I was on my late trimester. I just take bath 4 times daily to lessen the itchyness.

It is said that women will have pimples or facial blemishes during the pregnancy period. I haven't been through that stage, but I think I can wash my face 4 times per day to lessen the pimples. Thanks, loveandpeace.

You can use Clove paste to that Pimple area. Clove paste is formed by rubbing Clove to rough stone/cement surface with slight water, outside the house. Apply the paste so formed to the pimple area. When applied a burning sensation for 2 minutes will occur. In this way I have used it and could diminish the pimples to a greater extent.

Hi sunli, I have often been praised by my friends and other people when I was still studying for not having people's on my face. Even I feel there sometimes are they told me it's not something to be worry of coz it cannot be seen. And then just days after I graduated college, I got chicken pox and all pimples came out. I was so depressed coz I never used to deal with pimples before. On my first job, I even have to get used to a guy colleague teasing me about my pimples. It went on for nearly a year before my pimples finally go away. When I tried using different creams and cleanser to get rid of them, it seems like the more it gets worsed. Until I used mild ones, then now it's completely gone, not even marks left. It was like I never had those big, irritating pimples at all. I am now confident about myself again Just always wash your face in the morning and in the evening. Use mild cleanser or toner. Some don't even use such toners and cream. I use Olay as my facial wash and only use day cream whenever I don't feel so lazy applying it.

Thanks enelym, for sharing your own experience on the pimples. Then the mild cream is good for your skin. I will consult someone about my skin, and use the suitble face cream. Have a good day~

Having so many acne is really embarrassing. They are like lesions that concentrate on one part of your body and that part happened to be the most visible one. When I was on my teen, I have many acne as well but only on my face. I used to squeeze it until it bleeds. My mother told me to stop it otherwise it will scar for the rest of my life. Good thing I stopped before it's too late. Now I have some scars but they are not visible thanks to my mom. Just don't touch your acne and they will eventually go away.

I had squeezed some of them and now the skin is darker than other part of my face. It is really annoying. I will not do this anymore. Just hoep the pimples can disappear fast and so as the scars.

have you tried garnier complete?its a face cream, and theres also a facial wash that goes with it. I used to have pimples when I was younger and I used garnier and it got rid of my pimples. And I also think you should wash your face more often everyday to remove the excess oils which produces pimples. goodluck! and I hope it goes away.

Thank you phoevy. No I never used this series face cream. So is garnier a brand? As I didn't see it in the supermarkets or cosmetic shops.

Pimples did not bother me much when i was younger because i have to have dry to normal skin which is not that prone to pimples. I only use Ponds cream and facial wash and some organic stuff like egg white for face mask. Avoid using harsh cosmetics that could make your skin too dry or oily.

Then you are lucky. I used to use Ponds cream too but then I changed another brand. It seemed that the new one is not very suitable for my skin. Thanks for your suggestion~
