you got the right nick for yourself good job, that is exactly what i did after i read your question LOL!What's the best acne medication for someone with no skin?
The invisible kind.What's the best acne medication for someone with no skin?
some kerosene, good luck man!! are u sure that's acne.. Or could u be one big human sized walking gonorrhea..
Amateur
if you mean you have no areas of skin that aren't affected by acne, then it sounds serious enough to be prescribed an extremely powerful vitamin c/antibiotic called Roacutane. It cleared me right up.
If on the other hand you have no skin, then I'm afraid I can't think of a witty reply. I must strike you as quite the dullard!
no skin=no acne
Well darlin
If you have no skin,,you shouldn't have ANY sort of dermatological problem!
Oh you poor thing: you have no life do you!!!!!!! Try watching TV as you would probably get more enjoyment out of a movie then to post stupid questions like this one.
salt
how can u have acne without any skin
Nuclear waste, when applied liberally it not only will cure acne but will promote growth that will simulate skin.
acne where?
oooo..... better see your dermatologist - wait - can you see a dermatologist, if you have no skin?
rubbing alcohol and peroxide.......nothing feels better!
hmm maybe instead of proactiv you should try noactiv..
What holds all the innards in-the zits?
If they have no skin there's no way they can have acne. Acne forms in the pores of the skin, not in the general tissue of the human body.
By definition, acne is a condition of the skin. If someone has no skin in an area (which is also pretty much impossible; without some form of dermis, the underlying muscle would be visible, and the individual would be in constant, excrutiating pain), they can't have acne.
Nasty
is this a joke?
What!?
Here's what you do: Get a big bucket. Fill it with water. Dunk your head in three times, but take it out only twice.
Visit your local vet for help.
Please try and see a doctor Now. It is not easy to get appointment, or for that matter get in to emergency now a days so just try this.
Any of the antibiotic creams that are available over the counter.
Well, you could try Kosher salt but...
Heyyyyy....
Is this one of those ';Trick Questions?';
A nice tall shot of whiskey.
how can you have no skin, and why would you but acne medication on your face ,with no skin.
Some skin!!
Liquid Acid. It has a nice soothing affect.
huh
Well you wouldn't have acne if you had no skin!!! That has to be one of the dumbest questions that I have seen, at least today.

Also, include the approximate price as well. I don't have that much money, but I do want my face to clear up.What's the best non-perscription acne medication?
Many things cause acne. And what you're calling acne may not even technically be acne. Best bet is to have your dermatologist tell you what you're really dealing with.
As for OTC treatment, the main ingredient in the most expensive and most effective non-prescription drugs is hydrogen peroxide. Cost is about 89 cents at The Dollar Store. If you're encountering an outbreak right now, apply a round cotton pad with a little HP on it to your face three times per day. Follow up with plain, fragrance-free hypo-allergenic moisturizer -- just enough to keep you from drying out too badly. I use Safeway brand (generic) Advanced Healing Skin Protectant Lotion. I got this from Tom Thumb for maybe $4.00, but it lasts a loooong time, and you don't use much. Maybe it was less; I can't remember.
This isn't an ';instant'; fix. Your skin needs time to heal. But you may greatly benefit from seeing your dermatologist to see if you might need some antibiotics to treat any bacterial skin condition you may be dealing with.
One other thing: Change your makeup often. I'm not just talking about keeping your face clean. I'm talking about throwing out your old makeup and using fresh applicators with fresh makeup. The bacteria in your skin can live and breed in your makeup too. Lovely, huh?What's the best non-perscription acne medication?
I finally, finally found my miracle.....the benzoyl peroxide lotion they sell at acne.org.....I think it's around 8 or 9 dollars plus shipping for a huge tube....it ends up being cheaper than clearasil because you buy the larger amount
anyway, it's a low concentration of peroxide, so it isn't too drying, and it blends with makeup.....I leave it on my skin practically 24 hours a day.....my acne has probably been reduced by about 90%
also, I think diet does play a role in acne.....the only time I do break out now is when I eat really unhealthfully.....
ummm....i don't know abt where u live ... but in india ... u can get Vitamin A capsules which are extremely good when taken for a more than a week or so .

Drink as much water as possible. Acne is a sign of toxins in your body. Drink/eat things with plenty of antioxidants. I found clean and clear advantage daily cleansing pads and Clean%26amp;Clear persa-gel 10 to work pretty well.Anyone know of an acne medication that is very effective that i can buy at like walmart?
Find any one of the regimes they have and give it a try.
The wash, toner, creams -
take a e and c orally too see if that helps.
If not you may need something more effective - then the over the counter.

Hi Aaron
Here are some remedies to correct your issue. #9 is very important one.
Cause
As the teenagers grow up, they, like everybody else today, eat devitalized, dead, ';mucus-loaded'; junk materials that could only be called ';garbage food'; or meals without energy and life building materials in them. The rapid change from childhood to adulthood requires foods rich in vitamins, minerals, etc., needed in the healthy body. Processed foods are low or lacking in natural hormone and estrogen materials needed in the growth transition to adulthood. The young person's body realizes the lack and the need, and tries to pull the required materials from the body. If they are not there, the strain of trying to produce them causes irritation, a nasty snarling disposition, and a pimply complexion.
We blame the child for not being cooperative, for craving sweets, excess meats and bakery products. The body is craving vitamins and minerals and basic needs for health, and that ';craving'; is termed ';hidden hunger.'; To pacify this hungry gnawing feeling, the young person stuffs on junk food, adding insult to injury. From this diet comes acne, boils, irritability, the sick and sad youth. The girls have difficult menstrual periods with cramps, flooding, or off-timed cycles, and the boys have a tendency toward early prostrate trouble and unhealthy sex drive.
Remedies
3. Natural Hormones for Puberty: During puberty, and preferably just before that time starts, it would be wise to have the pre-teen boy and girl take a cup or more of red raspberry leaf tea and/or (especially important) blessed (holy) thistle tea each day--six days each week. This tea will assist in supplying natural hormone and estrogen materials to the system. Puberty is also much easier to go through if the tonsils are still intact.
4. Dr. Christopher's Chickweed Ointment: This is made of chickweed herb and bees wax and oils. Excellent for eczema and/or other skin infections, sores, burning, itchy skin or genitals, swollen testes, acne, hives, also for ulceration of mouth and throat. This is a wonderful healing ointment.
5. Blood Purifying: If we are just beginning a cleansing and healing program, we experience problems. Very common is acne, which is most often a manifestation of an unclean bloodstream. Red clover tea is an excellent blood-cleanser, with a very mild taste. Burdock root tea works fast and well to cleanse the bloodstream. Carrot juice, very pleasant to the taste, cleanses and builds good cell structure. Many families drink green drink, consisting of fresh greens, such as comfrey, parsley, mint, lambs quarters, marshmallow (that is, common mallow), your dandelion and other local greens, blended into a base of pineapple juice in a blender. At first you may wish to strain out the pulp, but it is good for you too, and soon you should become accustomed to it. Some people make a green drink by simply blending the wildings into water, straining out the pulp and sweetening a bit with pure maple syrup or honey. This green drink supplies vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and healing factors in a fresh, assimilable form.
6. Soap and Astringents: If you want to treat your acne externally, be aware that it's not an external problem. I would recommend very sparing use of soaps, which is contrary to most advice on acne. Soap removes the protective oil from the skin and upsets the acid-alkaline balance. Only use soap if your skin is really dirty; otherwise, wash with water. Instead of using thick makeup, which must be soaped off, let your natural healthy glow illuminate your skin. There are mineral-based blush powders which have no chemicals in them; they can be used as blush and as eyeshadow; just make sure when you purchase them that they really have no chemicals, as some cosmetic companies are mimicking the idea but including additives.
Some people recommend astringents to control large pores on oily skin. First of all, your skin won't produce excess oil if you follow the mucusless diet. Although you will be taking adequate oils in your diet, they are in a form assimilable by the body. Probably the worst ';junk food'; anyone can take is hydrogenated oil--margarine, hydrogenated peanut butter, shortening. These oils have undergone a chemical change which makes their structures unusable by the body. They clog up the digestive tract and bloodstream and cause many problems, including that oily skin that troubles you! Eliminate them from your diet, replacing them with natural oils (olive, safflower, almond, sesame--there are many choices). You'll see a real difference in just about a week.
As for the large pores, astringents only help for a little while, as they fill the pores with moisture, seeming to close them. But after a short time, the pores return to their normal size. A good diet, plenty of steam-distilled water, exercise, and the consistent use of the blood cleansing herbs mentioned above, will help tighten those pores. In the meantime (and perhaps just for fun) you can make some astringent lotions to apply to your face. Rub some strawberries on your skin and splash them away with water! Squeeze the juice from a cucumber and do the same. Tomatoes, raspberries, and zucchini all gently tone the skin. You can make a ';green drink'; for the complexion, blending comfrey, fennel, geranium, lavender, marigold, nettles, peppermint, sage or yarrow (any one or combination of these) with pineapple juice to make a thick, thick mush. Put them on the face, containing them with a piece of gauze if necessary, and lie down for a half-hour or so. Rinse off and notice a glowing skin.
Good old-fashioned witch hazel (the distilled herb preserved with some alcohol), which you can still purchase at most pharmacies, is known for its skin-toning abilities. You can combine it with fresh or bottled (unsweetened) apple juice, adding a little rubbing alcohol to preserve. This fresh-smelling astringent is cheap enough for everyday use, but nice enough to bottle in a small container and give as a gift.
7. Aloe Vera: This penetrates the skin quickly and deeply. This allows water and other moisturizers to sink deeply into the skin, restoring lost fluids and replacing the fatty layer. It permits the uronic acids, which strip toxic materials of their harmful effects, to penetrate deeply and allows the cleansing astringent qualities of the gel to work better. By increasing the circulation of the blood to an area, Aloe Vera sloughs off dead cells and fosters the growth of new ones. This helps foster the regeneration of scarred or blemished skin tissue and provides a protective coating on the skin to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. This antiseptic action also stops skin infections (acne) in oil-clogged pores. It heals blemishes with little or no scarring. This accounts for the multitude of cosmetic preparations these days contain Aloe Vera.
8. Liniment of Peppermint: This was used in the past to reduce varicose veins, and clear up acne, boils, abscesses and eczema. To do so, heat 1 pint of pure olive oil, and add to it 1 dram (teaspoonful) of oil of Peppermint, 1 dram, menthol crystals, and 1 dram of flowers of camphor. Mix in a warm jar or bottle, shaking until dissolved. Let stand until cool, then keep in a cool place.
9. Bowel and Blood Purifiers: Dr. Christopher emphasized that we need to know the source of our problems. Perhaps our toxic condition begins with a poorly functioning bowel which should be taken care of with the Lower Bowel Formula. But suppose a person has a case of boils or acne. The Red Clover combination should be used about three times a day, six days a week for six weeks. Then you can switch to another blood purifier such as burdock or chaparral or Brigham tea. Then switch back to the Red Clover combination.
10. Watercress: This like other plants which have a pungent taste, is celebrated as a blood purifier and has been used in the springtime to eliminate the toxins accumulated in the winter. It increases the appetite, frees up the bowels and causes a freer flow of urine. It is strongly alkaline and therefore treats acidity of the blood and relieves symptoms related to overacidity. It is said to help clear up acne as it cleanses the blood and relieves arthritis and rheumatism.
11. Blood Purifiers: There are various combinations recommended for blood purifiers. You can make the simple infusion, allowing to steep for thirty minutes, or you can combine with equal parts of red clover tops, Brigham tea, burdock and figwort, making 2 quarts of tea and reducing it down to one quart. Combine yellow dock burdock, sarsaparilla and echinacea for an excellent blood cleanser, particularly good in treating post-adolescent skin acne or eruptions related to the menstrual cycle. It will help clear up eruptions on oily skin of the neck and back.
12. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.
13. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Blessed thistle tea given to the unfortunate souls three times a day along with a change in diet to the wholesome, mucusless foods will supply necessary hormones for growth and maturity. The aforementioned hormone and estrogen formula [Changease] will also be beneficial. The big task here will be to reeducate the tastebuds of these boys so they can appreciate real food.
14. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.
15. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.
16. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.
Best of health to you
CheersShould I stay on my acne medication?
try this:
Dr Murads Acne Complex
http://acne-treatment-4-all.blogspot.com鈥?/a>
What I do know that works best is facial peels or whatever. Some person I know that had bad acne took 'em and their acne cleared up in a month. The thing is you have to keep going back for regular appointments to keep your skin clear and this person told me that it kind of hurts like hell or something. As for home remedies, I don't know and if ur pills don't work, then stop taking them.
Ask you parents what a 2nd. opinion means but 1st. maybe try- 1- the only time you touch your face is with a wash cloth- 2- try to watch what you're eating- what or if ever you're eating too much of may be a problem- 3- 15 yrs. old- almost all young adults get this in some form- try to drink more water and chill- it may go away, but not fast enough...
i would still take it...
This is a brand name? Why are you taking this for last six months? what is the generic name? Please read about acne treatment here-
http://www.doctorgoodskin.com/ds/acne/
take a bath in hot water and vinegar daily until your acne clears up then do it every so often to keep them away
Internal medications for these sort of topical ailments should be a last resort, unless it can be fatal.. Try any soap with salicylic acid (most acne washes) and ask your doctor about topical medications like clindamycin or tretinoin. They have FAR less side effects.
Try ';Retin A'; it helps with acne problems and prevent wrinkles.
Stop fooling around with the prescribed meds. You know DOCs are good and all but they hold stock in the products they recommend, too. Acutane is a seriously dangerous drug - google it to see what the problems were. Now, if you are not getting results you will have to do one of two things - go back to DOC and pay more money for, yet, another drug that may not work or check out these methods.

What I do know that works best is facial peels or whatever. Some person I know that had bad acne took 'em and their acne cleared up in a month. The thing is you have to keep going back for regular appointments to keep your skin clear and this person told me that it kind of hurts like hell or something. As for home remedies, I don't know and if ur pills don't work, then stop taking them.
Ask you parents what a 2nd. opinion means but 1st. maybe try- 1- the only time you touch your face is with a wash cloth- 2- try to watch what you're eating- what or if ever you're eating too much of may be a problem- 3- 15 yrs. old- almost all young adults get this in some form- try to drink more water and chill- it may go away, but not fast enough...
i would still take it...
This is a brand name? Why are you taking this for last six months? what is the generic name? Please read about acne treatment here-

take a bath in hot water and vinegar daily until your acne clears up then do it every so often to keep them away
Internal medications for these sort of topical ailments should be a last resort, unless it can be fatal.. Try any soap with salicylic acid (most acne washes) and ask your doctor about topical medications like clindamycin or tretinoin. They have FAR less side effects.
Try ';Retin A'; it helps with acne problems and prevent wrinkles.
Stop fooling around with the prescribed meds. You know DOCs are good and all but they hold stock in the products they recommend, too. Acutane is a seriously dangerous drug - google it to see what the problems were. Now, if you are not getting results you will have to do one of two things - go back to DOC and pay more money for, yet, another drug that may not work or check out these methods.

Both of these are good. My girls are now 24 and 27 but when they were growing up, we used the more natural and holistic approach. They are gorgeous with radiant skin. Good luck to you
