OT: acne got me down!!!

[B0ARDIN087]

im 16 years old (no laughs i started to get into fitness at an early age) I have a really clear face compared to some kids so i cant complain but i have like 5 pimples on my face at times. How did u guys get rid of acne! I am better in the summer when my face is drier and tanner. But during the other 3 seasons i have occasional pimples. I really hate them and just wondered if u have an advice. i wouldn't ask here except for that fact that everyone here knows thier bodies really well. and this somehow ties into that. thanks!

Hey man...its perfectly normal for your age

i'm 16 and my complexion is clear by just showering soon after I lift. If you are trying to make some connection between your acne and lifting...there really isnt one. of course...everyone is different and will have none, more or less depending on their skin type

i like to use soap

You may want to see a dermatologist. When I was in high school my face got really bad. Doc put me on an antibiotic and it cleared me right up. I felt like an ass for not getting it taken care of sooner.

See a dermatologist. At your age I was put onto Roaccutane and it helped enormously.

t3c, I'm not sure about there being no connection between litfing and acne. I know that when I'm training really hard and eating big, I'm more prone to breaking out in areas I otherwise wouldn't. Higher testosterone and the like, I guess...

I too had acne from 16 to 23, full of them. Until I finally took some roaccutane and it went away. Don't scratch them or you will get scars or worse still keloids. I should know. I have some keloids at my neck and go for monthly injections to hopefully make them appear like a normal scar.

seriously man, dont worry about it. Your body is going thru funky stuff with puberty, acne at your age is normal part of life......Unless its so bad you dont want to leave the house, then you need a dermatologist...but from what your saying i dont think its that bad

its not bad but im getting bigger and i want to show off my body. having acne doesn't help that!
