I have a spot on my nose!
And this just a week after the last one went.

Does acne ever actually stop? I'm 31 now. I bathe at least once a day. What more is required?

3. Gods, I wish I could.
If there were a little faucet somewhere, I'd turn it off for sure.

2. You should get pregnant
Pregnant people always seem to have very nice skin.

I haven't the faintest idea how to go about this.

13. Well there you go mate
get on the pints! It will increase circulation to the face and nose and it just might unclog the pores.

9. I used to ponder that very question
and one day, I looked at my dad who, at the time, was well into his 60's, and had a snoot covered with Clearasil. I knew right then my legacy.

12. Nope it doesn't stop
I too hoped in vain that my face would clear up when I got older. No dice. :P

Have you tried anything like Proactiv (http://www.proactiv.com/)? Those 3-step regimes do help a lot. I use a Proactiv knock off that is working pretty well and I have a lot of problems with breakouts on my nose. x(

On the extreme end, have you considered seeing a dermatologist? Some forms of "acne" are really symptoms of rosacea, thus can be largely cleared up after you treat the rosacea.

15. Sigh. Oh well.

I think one zit probably doesn't justify a trip to the dermatologist. ;)

:hi: :hug:
