Ok, so I have a few skin problems, and maybe you guys can help me? First of all are blackheads on my nose. Why do they appear there, what is a good way to get them all gone, and how do I prevent them? Next, on the back of my lower arms I have pimples and some blackheads(actually they might be whiteheads). Same thing, how to get rid of them?!? Thanks for any helpful advice.

pop the blackheads and whiteheads from underneath scrub face and arms thoroughly with soap each shower.

what the fuck is this, yahoo answers?

Yeah dude why are people posting health questions on here this is GAMING WORLD.

that seems sarcastic but seriously this topic is like fucking HELP ME PIMPLES which is like yahoo answers shit. not a good topic at all.

Well wash it, if you have sensitive skin then don't use manly soap. Be sure to rub/scrub in soap for 20 seconds before rinsing.

Is there really anything else to say? Here I thought it would be boils or something.

yeah dont listen to everyone else in this thread because just WASHING YOUR FACE will not get rid of acne, that's stupid. if it was as simple as just WASHING i have to believe very few people would have acne, since everyone washes their faces. i keep my face very clean and never touch it and i still get acne here and there GUESS I BETTER WASH MORE EH

Thanks Grunthor, goldenratio, and everyone else! I'll look at the link and see what can be done.

Alot of it has to do with diet and hormonal balance, so I suggest you look into that.

Yeah, don't eat too many fatty foods. Also, exercise well and make sure you're not stressed. Fatty food and stress + not going outside once in awhile is not good for you anyway. Might as well get rid of the acne in the process.

<sarcasm>
Also, popping zits is a sign of manliness do it whenever possible -- even the ones that harden because you mess with them all day and they don't have a hole to bust the...whatever the hell that is; for those you take a needle, burn the tip of it, wet it with rubbing alcohol, and bust in there like Chuck Norris's awesomesauce roundhouse kick (tm).
</sarcasm>

Mm...awesomesauce.

well yeah i mean but how old is omcifer? i figure if he's 15-19 he's going to have some acne and unless it's like HORRIBLE (which the way he described it sounds like normal acne) then he's not going to get rid of it completely. the only thing he can really do is wash his face and not eat shit.

well yeah i mean but how old is omcifer?

I'm 18. Yeah, I guess it's the whole "oily teenage skin" or something, but so far I think I've found out what I wanted. Anything else that you guys want to tell me is definitely wanted.

Okay, your skin needs to breathe and you might have to teach it to do it properly. To do that whenever you've had a shower put cold water on it, whenever you've shaved and put after shave put cold water on the hot areas. Basically always put cold water after your done cleaning yourself with war/hot water. Assuming you shave or bathe every morning, if not then just put some hot water on your face and/or other areas of your skin. Wait a bit (10-30 seconds) then place cold water on your face and/or other areas of your skin. Causes your skin to expand and contract to the temperature.

Also make sure your hair isn't covering your forhead cause it actually does block off alot of oxygen for your skin (atleast thats what happened with me, short hair acneless forehead long hair over forehead acne all over forehead).
