Zits and Gear

[bishop23]

I am not acne prone... but I get some whoppers occasionally on juice... upper arms and shoulders...

Tanning helps alot... what are the obvious reasons you dont want to tan???

antibacterial dish soap helps... I dont completely rinse it off, but I dont leave on very much...

stridex pads ( salysitic acid ) will help also

then before bed put on some benzyl peroxide and that should dry out whats left...

unless you are just pizza faced or have crazy bacne I wouldnt try accutane until I exausted the other remedies I suggested...

also there is a shampoo that I have used from walgreens that is awesome for zits... do a search here for acne shampoo... I cant remember the name as I just trashed my last empty bottle...

I play baseball for a living and honestly, if you talk to anyone that does...you get BOONED (after the Boone brothers for their tanning and hair-dying habits - punched in your pulling arm (batters) or catching arm (For pitchers) as to not mess up your game until you can't move it - if anyone plays ball here and know a few here who do who told me about the site, you know).

Basically, I don't want to look orange or like some dude that tans, my complexion is a little darker already, it is the worst thing for your skin, etc. But, if I go for a few minutes every month without really getting color or maybe a little, can that help dry you out enough.

Also, I don't have any NOR did I even in high school any zits (maybe every six months I had one or two back then) but now I have like 10 - 20 little red ones on the back of my arms and my back. I hate them.

My skin is already a little dry so I don't want anything to make it more dry. Let me understand, is it the topical bacteria / dirt that combined with the gear that is causing this...or something internally (increase of hormones I guess now that I think about it) causing this...or BOTH? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I hate these ****ers.

personally tanning aint a cure all it does is dry them up a little or hide them wen skin darkens aacutane should only really be used in seveer cases try sum creams if they dont work try sum antibiotics then as last resort accutane but id reccomend on telling ur doctor
