Today, I was applying some acne ointment. The directions said, "Apply a thin layer, covering the entire affected area." In other words, for me: My entire face. Lovely. FML

What the hell are you talking about? You don't know shit about anything. I have astham and smoking ANYTHING is probably the worst thing to do. I've gotten asthma attacks from being near someone who was smoking. Asthma makes you unable to breath, so why the hell would you destroy your lungs with smoke, dipshit? You use your inhaler when you have asthma, it opens up your lungs. Don't say shit like that when you don't know what you're talking about. Oh, and acne, keeping your face clean and not touching it doesn't prevent acne, its genetic. My mom had cystic acne so I have cystic acne. I don't have oily or "dirty" skin, in fact I have dry skin. But its oily underneath so that's what causes it. I wash my face at LEAST twice a day, and only touch it to apply moisturizer, acne medication, and the likes. So please, don't talk about stuff you don't know, you just make yourself sound like an idiot.

why don't you just go to a dermatologist? I did 7 years ago and I haven't had acne problems since then.

It says that because not everybody will be using it for facial acne, it could be on their back, etc. and it's simply instructing to use on the affected area. I've been on 2 acne medications now for very mild acne but hey, I'd rather have a clear complexion using a cream than having acne.

Aren't the acne spot treatments the one's that say "apply a thin layer to the affected area." Why didn't you buy a face wash or w/e it's called? Use that until your acne clears a little. Either that or see a dermatologist if your acne is that bad.

No, you've never had acne because you're just lucky. I've always used a daily facewash but some zits managed to pop up when I was 15-18 years old. And a friend of mine also daily used facewash but had a face full of acne; a prescribed facewash and cream only helped a little and eventually roaccutane was needed to get most of it to go away.

Genes > Hygiene when it comes to acne. Throughout adolescence, I washed my face, used every over the counter acne remedy under the sun, went on at least 10 different antibiotics, lord knows how many prescribed topical medications, and still, I basically just had to wait to outgrow it. Acutane might have done the trick like it did for some of my friends, but I wasn't willing to risk shutting down some of my major organs just to spare my complexion. Do I have some regrettable acne scarring? Yes. Is it in any way my fault? Hellz no.

It's not that simple, 60. I'm 20 and to this day still have skin problems, and I wash my face a couple times a day. When I was younger I went to the dermatologist and tried just about everything he could possibly give me, plus proactiv and some other similar products, and nothing worked. It's better than it used to be with a combination of birth control and a particular brand of face wash that seems to work well with my face, but I still have acne, my genes just suck.

**** YOU i wash my face every day and always keep clean but still had acne, which is caused by hormones and genes. There are different skin types, some idiot pea brained people like you are blessed with naturally good skin, one of my friends doesnt wash her face a lot, but still she's never got any breakouts, baby skin. I on the other hand do everything to keep my face, body, towels, pillows, hands clean all the time but i still get acne. SO why dont you just shut it if you are so stupid and keep your idiotic thoughts to yourself

**** YOU #60. It has NOTHING to do with washing your face or not! My sister had bad acne from the age of 11 to 15-16, its only just now going away at 17 and she washes her face everyday etc. Where as I, wash my face almost everyday, sometimes forget, yet have NO acne at 20. Its genetics you fucktard!
