  1. Know what acne really is. Acne vulgaris, commonly known
    as Acne, is a skin disease commonly found in growing teens and kids. It
    is completely normal, so don’t feel ashamed that dozens of pimples and
    blackheads are appearing on you.
  2. Wash your face twice a day. Recent studies found that washing your face once or twice a day can help reduce the appearance of acne on your face, and neck.
  3. Have a healthy diet. Another way to deal with acne is
    to keep eating healthy. Keep on eating those delicious fruits and
    vegetables, which have minerals, that provide healthier skin, and just
    like washing your face, eating healthy reduces acne.
  4. Talk to your friends. If your friends are the same
    age as you, most likely they have acne too. Talk to them about how you
    feel about your acne, and once you finally realize that pretty much
    everyone gets pimples and blackheads, you will feel better about your
    skin.
  5. Talk with your doctor. Sometimes mild types of Acne
    can actually be a medical condition, that can be treated with
    over-the-counter medicines or medicines that can be supplied by your
    personal doctor.
  6. Cover up, if need be. Have a big day coming up? If
    you are a girl, try wearing cover-up makeup, or if you can afford it,
    buy a DermaStyle Acne pen, which will destroy those pesky pimples.
    Popping pimples usually has bad results, like scarring, which looks
    worst than the actual acne.

Novel approaches to treating acne and rosacea, combined with careful skin care, may reduce the severity and improve the appearance of both conditions, according to a speaker at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Jenny J. Kim, MD, PhD, said antibiotic therapy was the typical treatment for most acne cases in the past. However, mounting worry over the development of bacterial resistance spurred the birth of new treatments.

Kim highlighted the popularity of incorporating anti-inflammatories into therapies, such as an oral form of controlled-release low-dose doxycycline, to reduce redness and swelling associated with acne. Furthermore, combination therapies, which may include anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, are convenient for patients and may decrease resistance, according to Kim.
