Sudden acne making me super self conscious.?
I never ever had bad acne, the only time would break out would be on my chin around my period and it would go away in about a 3 days. I've always had super red cheeks though, I found an amazing power to cover the redness which make me feel better about it. I haven't changed anything in my skin care routine, every morning I used Clean and Clear morning burst and then alba moisturizer. Lately though (in the past month) , my skin as been breaking out like no other. Every day there is a new one, I had it pretty under control, where I could cover it and it would go away. 3 days ago I got my eyebrows waxed and that just pushed it right over the edge. My forehead and eyebrows are covered in acne and these bumps that are actually under the skin. Now I've notice during the day, I would see one on my chin, cheeks, or nose. So far in the past month I've tried clean and clear, neutrogena, Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque, st ives. Everything is just making it worse, I even cut out all soda and junk foods. My mom said our insurance won't cover a dermatologist and to get wait it out, to see if it clears up any. It's getting to a point where I don't want to leave the house anymore, I can't even find a foundation that will cover it. I'm desperate, what do you think I should do?

First of all, don't stress on it, remember stress aggravates acne. I know when you get a breakout you feel like plastering your face with products but using that many brands in one month is too much. Continue with your Clean and Clear morning burst and moisturiser that you used before. Do this twice a day. Don't squeeze, pick or even touch your acne. Buy some acne cream/gel like Neutrogena onthespot and apply it to the bumps and pimples. Don't get any hair removal or any treatments/facials done on your face until the acne goes away. Drink lots of water and make sure you eat healthy. Don't use makeup right now. Most foundations clog pores and cause your existing acne to become worse and even more red! So, to some it all up: Go back to ur old prods, use acne cream, avoid makeup&treatments and stay healthy. Good luck, & don't worry it'll go away soon

it cant be from winter because just before summer my skin was perfec t, no bumps NOTHINGand then summer came and i got all these little bumps on my forehead and nothing is making them go away and its under the skin too Source(s): i live in australia
Ive had this exact problem, i use to have flawless skin, and then one day i just started breaking out, a couple reasons you could be breaking out is because of the winter, which is super dry out so your skin over produces oil to compensate for the dryness, this can also be if ur over washing your face as well.I tried every face wash and nothing helped So eventually i went to the Dermatologist, they gave me tropical creams, which did not help, and finally they put me on yasmin (birth control) and it actually cleared up my acne. You can just go to your family doctor and they should be able to prescribe both the tropical creams or birth control for you, if you dont have Derm coverage.But for the meantime i suggest using lise waiter concealer, it srsly is a miracle worker and covers up anything, you should be able to find it at a drug store. Hope that kinda helped.
well, there could be many things causing it. is your skin sensitive? is it oily? you should try soft exfoliators, like water and salt which would get rid of the impurities and not irritate your skin either (you're probably breaking otu from irritated skin) you should drink lots of lemonade, atleast two glasses a day (don't have more than one lemon a day though,) and rinse out your mouth right afterwards so it doesn't damage the enamel on your teeth. if you drink lots of water and stick to the lemonade thing, your skin will improve tremendously. give it like a month and it'll become clear. make sure to do the salt thing as well, all these help to heal and fight and clean acne and your skin. also, stay away from milk (has a lot of hormones) and caffiene stunts your hormones, often causing acne. for some people it's sugar that causes it, a lot of the time its the hormone stunting. it can be genetic or pertaining to puberty, it really depends but if you keep your skin clear and hydrated you wont break out. also, though it might be tempting, DO NOT POP YOUR PIMPLES. you can try toothpaste for instant relief. just dab some on the trouble spots (never your whole face, this will result in disaster) and leave it on overnight. it will reduce inflamation and the pimple size and everything. don't wear makeup over it, let your skin breathe. if you MUST, make sure its non-comodogenic (dunno if i spelled that right) but basically it means it doesn't clog pores, which is good. get some fresh air and excercise, this does wonders for your skin and stress level. Don't use hot water when your shower, it dries your skin out. warm water is ideal. be gentle and kind to your skin, and don't let it stress you out! don't let it take a toll on your confidence, 90 percent of teens suffer from acne, everyone gets it, and trust me there are worse cases. be happy with what you have and be patient. it'll work out. hope this helped!
