I've got a few issues regarding acne... All of them, of course, aren't the best things to deal with in the world, considering it's acne... And all of them have been happening for quite some time.

Sorry for the uber long post... I felt like I had to explain the whole situation on things so I don't get the wrong "diagnosis" per say :P


The first issue: (This one may be a bit more broad of a problem, not just acne...) My nose... My nose has MANY MANY little zits... In I'd like to say almost every pore on my nose?! They're tiny, but they look like dirty little zits that have been there for a long time. When I was younger (about 12, I'm currently 17) I used to get sunburned on my face *all* the time... And being the youngster I was, I loved to scrape the skin off of wherever I was sun burned... And boy, was that a mistake... Especially for my nose. Ever since then, my nose has been extremely red, has scars that are clearly visible to myself (not so much to others... but they do notice the redness... seeing as how red it is..), and the zits that seem like they'll never go away... I've been using cocoa butter and other things to try and help heal my nose, so it gets rid of the zits by closing up the pores back to normal, and so on... It's a very slow progress... Either that, or I'm doing something wrong... Anyone have any suggestions?

The second issue: I have a good nuraber of zits on my back as well... Which is increasingly annoying when I'm scratching my back... I've put medicene on my back before... It was a long time ago, but that never really helped either...

The third issue: I have next to no zits on my face except for my nose... And in other areas (like my chest) I have zits that seem to have a LOT of skin covering the zit... Not just like your normal zit where there's a thin film of whatever covering it... It seems like the zits will *never* go away either... No matter what I put on them... And once or twice... I've even forced one to... and it seemed REALLY dry... and being the adventurous young man I was... I even used a needle to poke a hole in the skin because it wouldn't just open up with me squeezing it >_< What should I do about these kind of zits?...

(You gotta love your younger self and ignorance... Heh...)

Thank you very much for any help...
 
What's your diet like? If you eat a lot of junk food and sugar then you're going to have an ongoing acne problem. What kind of face wash do you use and how often do you wash your face?
 
My diet consists generally of "semi-bad" things... I eat out at fast food places much of the time, but I eat at home a lot of the time too... Whenever I get a chance to I eat at home =\ I eat meat... Salad... fruits... etc... And generally I eat under the "required" amount >-< At most I eat 2 meals a day, sometimes one...

I use regular soap for everything =\ Recently I've been using expholiating wash on my nose every other day... I wash my face once every day, and if I remeraber to, maybe twice. My nose is the bigger problem with my face... Otherwise the acne is on my back, and underneath my chin.
 
Diet can definitely affect acne. Eating a lot of junk will definitely make you break out. Try to cut back on the junk food and drink a lot of water. Wash your face at least twice a day and don't use regular soap. Use something intended for your face. You can also try taking a probiotic. For some people this really helps.
