What are face craters and cysts?

edit: quick google explained cysts, but face craters?

DragonRider · 12-04-2012

Got some bumps usually on my butt or lower back. They always seem to crop up close to each other. How strange.

Does anyone have any tips on shaving with acne? I have kind of on and off acne but shaving seems to bring it back. I heard using an electric shaver works best but have never tried one. Anyone have any advice?

Dipping your face in boiling vinegar water helps, I used to have that problem a lot too.

I only use an electric razor and I never have any problem with it.
I don't think that waxing would be a very good idea.
Nor using a normal razor, that could cause it to catch and pop the pimples. Which is a pain in the ass.

Hi, Vinka.

If you have acne on your forehead then play dot2dot jk.

Actually having a bad diet like drinking fizzy drinks, unhealthy foods can develop acne, to get rid of acne try getting cream or eating healthier foods.

How to avoid all acne:

Change your pillowcase on a regular basis.

I sincerely hate how someone like me, who attends to my hygiene religiously and drinks nothing but water, sobe, and cranberry juice, exercises a bit (not as much as I used to be able to >.<), and uses Proactiv and has taken into account some of the tips in this thread and can STILL manage to get a blemish here and there every once in a while. Meanwhile, Stinky Stan over here who eats all the crap he wants and never showers and looks like an absolute mess all the time can be clear skinned and blemish free. Sure, they have more oil than the Middle East all over their face but they still don't have zits. Doesn't that just piss you off?

If you have a good diet and your a healthy person you may have acne from genetics you may have a high blood line of acne from previous ancestors.

I don't know if I mentioned it in the OP but if one or both of your parents had acne then you're going to get it no matter what. It's just how it is. There isn't really any way around it. I'm sorry.

That's what the towel technique is for.

Absolutely untrue, my dad and mum had terrible acne as a child whilst me, my 2 brothers, and my sister never had a zit touch out face. (Except for the occasional one on nose, but that's acceptable).

There is the ocassional person that doesn't get acne.
And how old are they? They may get it later on in life.
