Does toothpaste help get rid of pimples?

[845]

What are some of the side affects of accutane? The normal ones like constipation, diarrhea, if you have a heart condition stroke, and face drying? And is it just for bad acne or could i take it just to prevent the little acne i get? Oh and popping the big ones is so much fun they are like pop and then theres puss all over the mirror and then it bleeds and stuff, so cool, hours of entertainment. Also i got a couple of the darn things on my chest that cant be good?

just do it! why be skeptical, it's not like TOOTHPASTE is harmful otherwise we wouldn't stick it in our mouths!

well, my mom sells this stuff called Mary Kay. its makeup and she's got everything for everything

i use this tube of stuff that when you put it on, it makes the spot really dry. using that with clearasil works like the bomb

pm if you'd want a bottle

I got a shower at ponil.. it was freezing cold. I might have gotten a shower before that but I think ponil and when we got to base camp were my only ones.
Man thats good stuff, im going back in 2k5.
This last one we did trek 32.. the second to most strenous trek. Loads of fun, we did atleast 90 miles. Baldy is beautiful!
And slick249, you must have/have had a sucky troop. Our troop goes on 1 campout a month. Last summer break we went to florida sea base and that was fun, lounging on a boat for a week. Early summer next year we are going up to Northern Tier which is like in upper minisoda/canada or something. Its kinda like philmont only in canoes. Its going to be pretty interesting.

Anywho, I wanted to try Accutane until I looked at some of the side effects. I mean I already have most of them, if they got worse I would most likely like blow up or something. Also I thought it was suppost to get rid of pimples permentally (for the most part) but I found out they come back when you stop taking accutane. That really sucks.
Oh and I'll never get rid of my down pillow.. I love it to frickin death.. its so soft, it molds to my head.. I love it soooo much.. if I got rid of it I would die
Does anyone know of any synthetic pillows I can try that have a similar feel to down? Please let me know

hmm after some testing i think that kalamai(sp?) lotion seems to be working for me. just apply to your face then go to sleep. wake up in the morning and your face is dry and not oily. wash it off and walla. pimples are slowing disappearing.

I'm not used to answering questions like this... normally if something was on/in your skin and you didn't like it I would say take a scalple or x-acto knife and cut it off but in this instance I would advise not to do that.


I used to get zits every now ands then but I haven't had any problems in a few years mainyl because I got into a good habit of cleansing my face at least 2 times a day and using a oil free soap. After that they just stopped. And i'm only 16 so it's not like I just grew out of it. Be sure to stay away from things that would make your face oily.. change your pillow cases often.. don't lean on your hands when sitting or laying on the floor... stuff like that.

Sun and Accutane seems to be working for me (but slowly). People blow the side effects way out of proportion (Accutane) though. So far, all I've had is my face drying out a little.

In conclusion, acne sucks dick.

i got like the rocky mountains of pimples on my lower left chin and i was wondering if putting toothpaste there will sorta get rid of it.

Someone said that it will dry it up and make it disappear but...well...i'm sorta skeptical

Time gets rid of pimples.
