Blemishes
Posted: 07-22-05 23:25pm

I'm a 17 yr. Old female; i've always had nice complexion and used to hardly ever get a pimple, but in this past year i've started to get small blemishes mostly in my "t-zone" area. Some of them turn into pimples, usually on my chin. i'm just curious to know what's all of a sudden causing this. I maintain good hygiene and my life style hasn't changed or anything (if that counts as any kind of factor). I'm just afraid that it'll get worse. Any advice is welcome. Also, does anyone know if rubbing an ice cube on your skin really helps tighten the pores? Thanks.

There could be many reasons as to why you got these. First of all it could be the weather. Maybe it has changed. Is it very humid where you are?? Because if it is then your skin gets very oily and causes breakouts. Also maybe you have changed your diet in some way that you dont realize you are doing. Perhaps you are eating more junk food lately or something. Also im a guy so im not for sure in this are lol but alot of girls get breakouts around that time of the month. It could just be a flare up from that could it not? There are many reasons as to why you are getting these flare ups. If the pimples are bothering you, try benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment. It works very well and should clear you up within 2 weeks max.
