How to cure acne

Post Reply New Topic

I was hospitalized for three months after being evicted from my apartment. The reason being that a "fire door" was being installed, and after the instillation the door
continued to make a lot of noise because it was right beside my apartment; only fifteen feet away from my desk where I use to read. So I propped open the door
with shopping bags and newspaper and each time I did so it was pulled out from under the door by the landlord or the neighbor across from me.

The neighbor across from me challenged me to a fight multiple times, and even pushed me once when I said that I was willing to fight him outside the apartment.

The maintenance men called the police multiple times, and each time the police did nothing. Even when they saw my weed box, filled with weed.

Anyways, during this time I cured my acne, however I gained all of the weight that I lost back again in the hospital.
The only way I know how to cure it is to lose a lot of weight to the point where you can see your abdominal muscles, and then
you have to work on strengthening your abs so that your testicle drops. The idea came from personal experience because one of my
testicles never dropped like my other one. However, it drops once your abs are strong enough.

The amount of sodium is key to dropping your testicle. Consume under 200mg of sodium for two to three days and
your acne will be gone.

I was told by the doctor that I was not a medical student, nor a physics student. I have no idea what I'm talking about (is what they said.)
I know exactly what I am talking about. I cured acne and it was never recognized by a single human being. However, each time I told
somebody that I was more relate-able and recognizable due to the clear skin I once had, people were shocked. The doctor didn't care
but normal human beings did.

I need people to know that the Alberta Mental Health Act does not condemn people with recognizable symptoms of insanity, but rather
would cage me up for three months in a psychiatric ward instead of tackling people with real disabilities that push them onto the street.

I am pissed off beyond reasoning. My life was taken from me in a nano second and I was only given seven days to evict myself. 30 days is what it said
on my lease agreement, however, that was never respected by either the law enforcement or my landlord.

God speed.

My acne was due to eating cow milk products-cheese, yogurt, etc. Going casein free cured most of my acne.

Sorry to hear that you were locked up in the loony bin for three months over something silly. Here in the USA, you have to be a danger to yourself or others to be tossed into a psycho ward, and even then you can only be held for 72 or 96 hours, depending on state law. Also, if you commit a crime and the court thinks you're nuts, you can be placed in the "forensic psychiatric ward" at the jail.

Sounds like rotten situation for you. My sympathy.

I am not sure about your claim that restricting sodium can cure acne. Even alternative medicine practitioners are skeptical, and they'll usually ignore a lack of evidence to sell their products (e.g. a low sodium diet book).

I think your suggestion that acne is linked to asymmetrical testicles is a bit far-fetched. For one thing, what about acne in women? Also, asymmetry in testicles is extremely common in the general population. About 80% of men have testicles that hang at different heights. Far less than 80% of men have acne!

I was considered a danger to myself or others, yet the only reason I was outside and picked up by the cops was because I was evicted from my home
and I had nowhere to go except a homeless shelter.

The whole situation makes me mad because the doctors should have known they were trapping me and frustrating me like an abused cat.

Doctor gave me sulfur capsules as a teen, for acne. Worked like a charm.

The most weird sounding, yet the most powerful, thing to get rid of acne is washing your face with lotion. Really. Sound crazy, but it works! (for me at least) I've always had a problem with acne, and I've tried everything. But nothing worked. Except this. I Wash my face every morning and evening with some basic body lotion. Rub it carefully to my face, and then rinse it with water. My face has never been this lean before!

Why it works so well is because grease is fat-soluble, so lotion cleans all the grease off your face, without making the skin dry.

Back when I was a kid the cure for acne was washing your face twice a day with carbolic soap. It smelled terrible which meant that everyone around you knew what the problem was

I am SO glad that those days are gone.

Pretty sure I get acne from stress, its so annoying....I've finally got stuff to wash my face which treats it, but I still have breakouts when under stress. Anyways sounds like a sh*tty situation you had to deal with....feeling like a trapped, abused cat is never good that is for sure, I am sure even my cats would agree.

What worked for me and later on for my kids, is toothpaste. Get regular, plain toothpaste (not gel, no whitening or gum disease preventing or anything else) like Crest or Colgate. Just the plain, regular, old fashioned white tooth paste. Put it on the zit after you wash your face. Leave it on about 30 mins and wash it off. You can sleep with it on there, if it's a bad zit, but there is a chance of it burning your skin. However, it works, and works very well.

As for the losing weight, I had horrible acne and I was extremely under weight. Losing weight wasn't an option for me. For the ball dropping, well being female, that wouldn't be an option for me either.

I heard a lot when I was young about greasy foods causing acne, but I never noticed that with myself.

Guys? Why is this being replied to?

It has nothing to do with autism, the subject of this forum.

It definitely does. Aspergers and cystic acne go hand in hand. I know from other people who have the same problem as I do.

I never had cystic acne, I just had the regular kind. I've seen several people with it, and a couple of them tried the toothpaste thing and it worked for them too. The people that I knew who had cystic acne didn't have AS though, well at least not that I could tell. I didn't know I had it back then either.

Where do you get the correlation between AS and cystic acne? I've never heard that before. The guy I know locally who has AS didn't really have bad acne as a kid though. Thats how I met him, he was in the group that my kids hung out with.

Shower twice a day, or more. and each time use water as hot as you can stand it, clean your pours out and remove the body oils., then turn the water to as cold as it can get, so to help close your pours. keep your bedding and sheets clean. esp your pillow slips.

in all my years I have had little problem with acne because of this. my diet may have helped, I don't care much for sweets and eat garlic in most everything (which has natural anti bacterial agents).

I have had horrible acne for about 3-4 years now. I have no clue how to get rid of it. I went to my doctor and she prescribed me some benzoyl peroxide creams. I applied them regularly overnight and they didn't work. They were a pain to apply because I sleep on my front and therefore my cheek is on the pillow (which obviously rubs the cream off). However, I also applied it to my back and it didn't remove the acne there, either. Now, I have less on my back and more on my face. I do restrict my sodium intake successfully for periods of time, but haven't noticed any effect of that on my acne.

I am not going to remove all dairy products because of this. I simply will not be getting enough calcium products in my diet if I were to quit dairy. I am considering laser treatment; many people are saying it's effective. I've been obsessively researching laser treatments over the past couple of days because I'm tired of having to wear makeup every day to cover up my acne.

I can't take care of myself this well, unfortunately, when I have other things to take care of. Besides, every shower takes me about an hour and it messes up my hair; straightening it after each shower takes another half hour (unless it dries up into neat curls, which happens rarely).

If anyone knows of any good acne treatments that don't involve lifestyle changes, I would love to know. Thanks Willard - I will look into taking MSM pills and see if they work, along with topical treatments. If that doesn't work, then I'll go for the laser.

Lastly, I do think this thread needs to be moved into the Health section.

I actually spend a ton of money seeing a professional about it and I seem to have it under control for now. I don't have the product in front of me but there are two different creams I use loaded with Glycolic Acid and they work well and even keep my otherwise Oily skin looking normal and healthy. The acne is not perfect but barely noticeable right now. I used to have downright horrible acne as a teenager and it didn't help my form of stimming was rubbing my face with my hands as a teen. I looked like I had chicken pox at one point.

On the subject of Autism, the four people I strongly suspect as being on the spectrum (all 20s or early 30s) all have bad acne, one to the point she looks like a burn victim. Might be a coincidence though.

I've struggled with cystic acne, though it's mainly because my personal hygiene is absolutely awful. I developed an aversion to washing my face and brushing my teeth when I was young, and I think a lot of it has to do with sensory issues.
