So what kind of remedy's/medication are there out there that I can use to get rid of acne on my damn arms? I don't really have such a problem with my face, just my damn arm.
 
if u go to the doctor or something, they can prescribe medication for that, not sure of any names.

i always enjoyed the old fashioned Guacamole method.......?
 
most definatly see a dermatologist... they can give great meds. that is the only thing that worked for me.
 
Use an aspirin mask. Seriously, that stuff is like magic. It makes your skin clear, lessens redness, and makes it as soft as a baby's tush. And you'll see noticeable results after just one use.

Here's how you make an aspirin mask:
1. Dissolve 5-6 pills of uncoated aspirin with a few drops of warm water.
2. Put the dissolve aspirin on your skin and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then wash it off.

If you want the aspirin to adhere to your skin better, mix it with yogurt, honey, or facial lotion.
 
<-----35 and I get it on the back of my head and neck sometimes really bad sometimes I go months without a single breakout but its always on the back of my head and neck for some reason. Little tiny hurtin mother fuc, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, that you would think as small they are would hurt so damn much. So your not the only one out of the teen age and still getting acne 😉
 
The most that I personally had was 3 (1 big one and 2 small ones)
I used some medicine that my brother bought for himself from acne.org and I got rid of the pimples in about 3 days (I did some major self-surgery
on the big one)

isn't that the main component in those face washes? salysilic acid (sp?)
 
Go to the RiteAid, Thrifty, or whatever drug store is near you. In the section where they have the face wash and stuff, look for something with benzyl peroxide in it (10% concentration). It comes in very small tubes, three or four inches long, so it may be hard to find but it'll be there.

I am 25 and I was the same as you a few months ago. I was too old to be getting acne, but I was. I bought that stuff and started washing my face every night and putting that stuff on my face before going to bed, and I almost never get acne anymore. If i stop using it, for a couple weeks I get some acne, but it goes away as soon as I start up again. I also started using an oil free moisturizer at the same time so that may have had an effect, but I think it's all the benzyl peroxide.

It's so easy, you don't have to rinse it off and it is basically just like lotion, dries clear so you don't even really know you put it on a few minutes later. Except your skin looks a little powdery or dry, so that's why I use it before bed. Make sure you don't wear any colored shirts to sleep with this stuff. I have a few shirts get discolored from coming in contact with the benzyl peroxide.
 
My doctor had me use a product called hibiclens to take care of some acne on my back/shoulders. I used it for a couple weeks and it got rid of everything. Lasted for several months before some minor re-occurrence. Asked my doctor about it and she said that bacteria or whatever could buildup over time, hibiclens kind of resets your skin back to zero. Regular exfoliating (I use a scrubby now) keeps it from occurring much these days. G'luck!
