How can i get rid of my pimples?

Well i started having pimples a couple of years ago and since then my situation has continued to worsen. I've tried proactiv, acne free, and other over the counter acne treatments. I've even went to a dermatologist and got a prescription treatment but that doesnt seem to work either. I also tried toothpaste for a couple of days but it didnt seem to make any differnces at all. My pimples just never seem to go away and I cant stop new ones from forming. Can anyone help?
Answer:
try clearsil, it worked for me

well i use proactive and it works really well. i would try that again and use it a least twice a day. if you sweat or put makeup on do it three times a day. also wash you hands more that you usually do. i wash my hands right before i go to bed cause i found out that i touch my face alot at night and the bacteria on my hands rubs off on my face

14 Ways to Get Rid of Acne
Whether you're a teen or an adult with acne, you don't have to simply put up with it. Here are 14 ways to get rid of acne.
1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. 8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.9. Use water-based make-up.10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne. all the best

raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up." you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections.
good luck

Acne has nothing to do with what you eat but everything to do with your oil in the pores of your skin. Some acne is just too severe to be treated by over the counter remedies. If you dermatologist prescribed something and you feel it did not work, did you give it enough time? Some of those prescriptions creams will make your skin worse before it gets better and you have to wait several months before you see the results you want. Did you follow good skin care regime in that time? No harsh scrubbing, picking or popping the pimples. the oil actually gets imbedded deeper into the skin when you do that and scarring can occur. Try following up with the dermatologist again or find a new one if you want but give it enough time to truly know that that way wan't helping. Take it from me, bad acne takes months to years to resolve. hang in there. It can get better but usually with profesional help only.

No dermatologist, and no chemical stuff on the skin, try Coconut water (no coconut but only water) regularly for a month in hot summer, and 2 times a month in cold climatic conditions. thanks.
