Ahh..puberty. The 'stache is the result of testosterone, the male hormone. it causes everything, including all those little new hairs, everywhere. And, unfortunate;y, the zits, too.

Wash a couple of time a day with a mild facial soap, and if things donlt improve, try some OTC zit cream at the drug store.

You're right about not popping them, it takes longer to heal that way, and you run the risk of scars/pock marks.

Just wash your face 2-3 times daily, and DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE! As much as this disgusts most people, pimples "feed" off of the oil and dirt on your hands, making them worse.

Hope this helps.

Well, they don't feed, but your hands are full of oils and dirt that can make pimples worse and cause more acne. That's why it's important to always wash your hand, and always wash your face.

If you do need to touch your face, wash your hands first. I also recommend an astringent. Get some rubbing alcohol, and a cotton ball, dab it into rubbing alcohol, and rub over the pimples. I use it before bed, and when I wake up, they are about 50% gone, or more.

bowlheadhere is right. While pimples are not 'alive' and therefore are not literally 'feeding' off anything, the oils in your hands can definitely make facial acne worse. I'd recommend using a facial soap at least twice a day (when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night). Keeping clean is essential to good health, including acne prevention. Some of us have more oily skin than others, and if someone has a lot of acne it does NOT mean they're not a clean person, but showering every day is important for all of us to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
