Answer 1

If you can go see a dermatologist - he or she will give you an antibiotic. Mine told me doxycycline works best. For stubborn acne or acne where you can't use an antibiotic or for extra help just try as an example Wal Mart's Equate 2% benzoyl peroxide ointment. My dermatologist said it'll work just as well as Pro Activ and will cost a few dollars instead of fifty. Also try pine tar soap that you can get at any vitamin store for about $3 a bar for stubborn back acne (bacne). That might help on the face too, but where I have it is on my back, the pine tar soap helps, but antibiotics are your best bet if you can tolerate them and they don't cost much if the doctor's visit is covered. Pro Activ doesn't work for everyone and it's very expensive. Try Wal Mart's brand first if you can't get to a dermatologist or pine tar soap - Good Luck :) The doxycycline totally cleared up my severe back acne but I'm not able to tolerate it...it's too strong and makes me sick to my stomach, however most people can tolerate any antibiotics long-term...

Answer 2

Most over the counter products do not work very well. They just dry the skin which makes your body produce more oil.

See your doctor and get the anti-biotic called tetracycline and a cream called stievamyacin. These 2 prescriptions cleared up my kids very quickly.

Answer 4

People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne.  Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face.  Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne.  If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.  

Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little.  Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne much worse by using too many products.  There really is no quick fix for acne.  Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne.  Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..  

There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing.  Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean.  Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that.  Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue.   Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  A healthy life style will make a difference.  Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.  

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.
