So I'm wanting to see how normal I am compared to everyone else. Also, what do you do to clear up acne fast? How long does it take? When voting in the poll, if you have any zits in those selections, mark it. If you haven't had a zit in those places in the past 3 months, don't pick that selection.

When voting in the poll, I forgot about chest and shoulders. So when you vote for Back, it will count has "Back/Chest/Shoulders
Also, is having a few zits on the back normal?

Zits on the back is perfectly normal. It's not a sign of not being clean enough or any of them myths.

I've got it acne on my face. It's like a scar, but it goes, If that makes sense. I wash my face every day, that seems to help. You CAN ask your GP for cream/lotion to put on your face/back/throat etc.

It doesn't stand out for me :)

I've tried a lot of face washes, some I would recommend, some I wouldn't. What face wash would you recommend that treats acne as fast as possible without a prescription?

Face and back.

I've really limited it down, though. My Dermatologist has given me pills called Minocycline and ointment called Clindamycin. It works pretty well. I don't have it as bad as I use to. Ask your parents if you can go see a Dermatologist. They can help you if the Acne is bad.

It might sound weird, but I always find swimming regularly in the ocean clears it up.

Probably cause the salt water helps dry out the pimple and release the, fluids

I've actually heard rubbing salt (with a bit of water, but not enough for it to fully absorb) on the pimple helps, cause it exfoliates and it dries out the pimple :D

Face, back, chest. Occasionally I get the odd zit on my legs too, but it isn't full-blown acne (legne?)

Face (occasional breakouts) and back (acne scars almost fading away!).

I don't really have much, it is mainly on my chin and the cheekbone ridge

Im pretty sure most people get it on their face, there are some with really bad cases on their backs, sometimes I think having it on your back is actually worst as it looks worst (no offence to all people with back-acne out there).

I haven't really had any. A few zits on my chin and that's really it...

I dont have acne, or any pimples, and I'm almost 15, I'm not a late boomer I just don't get pimples like my mom, and my mom's parents, but my dad had a lot and my brother did... But obviously I do get the occasionally sneaky pimple once or twice a week.

How I get rid of it:

If I see white, I ask my mom to pop it.
If it's just an empty pocket of blood, I get an icecube, hold it with a cloth, and put pressure on the blood pocket pimples, for 30 seconds.. yes it gets freezy but if I wake up in the morning with a little sneaky pimple, I use the ice cube morning and then at night, and next morning it's gone!!

:D
