KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 not the best thread to start but i'm bored so shoot me lol whats the best spot fighting face wash stuff to use? i've tried different ones for months but still them blasted spots keep on pissing me off! i mean i'm not scarily spotty but still its annoying as hell! the only thing that has worked proper for me is tablet things from the doctors. i ask cos i've got to the end of my current supply of fash wash and dunno what to get next. . . hmmmmmmmmmmm . . .
Charlie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I've got something called "Zineryt." I don't think it actually does anything. The best cure is fresh air :P (I'm not scarily spotty either by the way, just the odd few which can only be seen close up)
KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 mines a lil worse! it always happens when i'm stressed! i usually only have say two or three but when i get stressed . . . BAM . . . theres goes the neighbourhood! like i said the only thing thats really worked so far is medication. . . i heard some kinda benzyl peroxide gel is good but i havent heard of anyone who used it. . .

The best cure is fresh air :P (I'm not scarily spotty either by the way, just the odd few which can only be seen close up) Im the same as you then... and sod all seems to work. The main problem is that i only get a spot now and then... so it feels like a big deal to me. I was considering buying some Freederm but at almost a tenner for the worlds smallest tube.. and no garenteed results i am giving it a miss!
KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 tried it before and i dont think it did shit all- trying it again now on one specific bit of my skin-the side of my neck-its started gettin pimply and spotty so lets see what that expensive shit can do lol
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I use Clearasil in conjunction with Differin gel. Ask your doctor for the latter.
Meik Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 You did the right thing by going to the doctors and getting tablets for it. I did the same back when I was 14/15, cleared that shit right up. As far as i'm aware there isn't really a better cure than those, just make sure you wash your face regularly and also wearing aftershave after shaving helps. (That last part may be an Urban myth, but I still roll with it and it's been 6 years since I had major spots). I'm also not sure what "fash wash" is.
Kurtle Squad Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 NOT Clearasil or anything else that supposedly helps which is made by some sort of money maing corporation!! I use Surgical Spirit. It's supposed to be used for other shit, but it's the master of cleaning (it's a lil stingy sometimes though). I would use tablets, but mine arent that bad anymore and some tablets fuck up ur skin & lips and stuff. Also drink pleanty of water and such and lay off having too many crisps.

I'm also not sure what "fash wash" is. how long were you on tabs for? a year or so ago i was on for 6 months then they told me to stop then it went back to how it was-i prob sholdve gone back but i will go ina couple weeks! (i mean face wash-i'm such a crap typer!)
Meik Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 As I remember I did the same as you, I took them for 6 months and stopped, then they came back again a little while later. From then I just stockpiled a few boxes of the tablets at a time and started taking them for a couple weeks when they started to creep back. I don't think taking them consistently for years is a good idea, just save some and go back on them when they come back. From my experience they started to clear up 3 or 4 days after taking them again. They're a nightmare I know, mine lasted for the longest time but they did eventually disappear.
Eenuh Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I used to have it really bad (some guy called me a Dalmatian once in 8th grade). None of those tubes and lotions and whatnot that you can buy in any store helped, at all. The doctor made me take some evil evil and extremely yucky oil from some kind of fruit or vegetable (pumpkin I think?) and horrible yellow pills, but that didn't really help much either. So we went to a specialist and they gave me some face wash called Effaclar and then some stronger lotion to put on my face (don't remember if I had to take anymore pills...). Anyway, that did seem to help and I had to deal with a lot less spots. Right now I don't take any of that stuff anymore (haven't for years); just have to deal with the usual spots. Just nothing too bad anymore. But yeah, just go to the doctor if you really want to get rid of it; don't buy anything in a normal store cause it usually won't help anyway.
KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 thanks Eenuh! Meik-how long did you do the on and off thing? did you have to keep goin back asking for repeat perscriptions?
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Why do people say not to squeeze them? I aint having no yellow balls in the middle of my face. I find it quite satisfying truth be known. I have the rare one on my face from time to time, but the main area now is my back/shoulders etc. There is no better feeling than finding a painful lump on ye back, one quick squeeze, feel the burst then a wave of relief hits the area. ooohhh.

KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 :laughing: :laughing: i really really badly dont like you man!
rokhed00 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 i really really badly dont like you man! That's OK, I'm well loved enough without any contribution from you.
Twozzok Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I use BP Gel, which i think you can get from acne.org Whenever spots start coming, i just put some of that on my face, and next day, my skins back to normal.
KKOB Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 That's OK, I'm well loved enough without any contribution from you. so tempted to start a slagging match off-somat about him being nearly forty etc etc but its not the kinda of thing i'd like to see- basicly rockhead! if you have nothing decent to say on a thread whats the point in commenting especially when your being so childish I use BP Gel, which i think you can get from acne.org Whenever spots start coming, i just put some of that on my face, and next day, my skins back to normal. jesus sounds like miracle cream lol will defo check it out in a sec! cool saw the site before- will defo grab a tube of the stuff and follow what it says!
dabookerman Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 i got terrible skin condition, its sucks really, either dry or god damn greasy, open pores, all sorts of shit, cream doesnt do shit.
Cubechris Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 somat about him being nearly forty etc etc but its not the kinda of thing i'd like to see- Whats being 40 got to do with anything? I am 46. Oh and spots, yeah on my back at the top, near the shoulders, like EEVIL said.
Pyxis Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 puberty doesnt last forever guys, its just that time of your life for some of you. I had really annoying spots when younger, but they do all go away in the end no matter how bad they get. I only seem to get spots straight after having my hair cut for some strange reason. Lots of people blossom once they've matured.
