 [ Symptoms ] i have acne excoriee i would like to stop sqeezing my acne what is the alternative does a ripe white acne heal unpopped [ Disease ] white filled acne will eventually heal itself unpopped but whatever you do do not pop acne that is not ripe or white as scarring will result i used to have a similar problem with acne in middle and high school years and have been prescribed creams to medication but none truly worked i then researched online and noticed a lot of acne comes from the food that you eat and deficiencies in zinc and vitamin a and c i went to a local cvs and purchased zinc tablets which helps in reducing oil levels from a range of 35 100mg a day be careful as overdose can occur with excessive amounts i also began eating carrots and foods with vitamin c which can be googled if scarring happens you should invest in apple cider vinegar and apply to a cotton ball and place on scar for a couple of minutes before the shower which helps removing old skin layers and making new ones that has helped my scars tremendously after 1 2 months then in the shower i recommend a body wash that has vitamin e in it for a good clean moisturizer which will help your skin as well it all starts with the diet and cutting all the greasy oily food fight your acne from the inside then out and you will see the results hope this helps
