Question:
started about two weeks ago and my diet has been about the same all this time

Answers:
the best solution is to check first with a dermatologist just to make sure its nothing serious...a cheap immediate remedy is to apply toothpaste on the pimples on a daily basis preferably in the morning...this seems to work for me when i had pimples popping out anywhere in my body

Other Answers:

i am white and i get them all the time my forhead is oily, its just hormones but it can be diet related if you eat greasy foods, caffine and chocolate
Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!

1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.

2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.

3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.

4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.

5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.

6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.

7. Try taking salmon oil supplements (found in health food stores and vitamin shops).


*Always drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods and get exercise.
