Question

Answer 1

It might go away when you get older, give it a chance!

Or look at it this way, at least you have a skin condition that everyone knows about and understands, you could have something much worse! Even if someone has acne I don't look at them any diffirently, and I'm sure a lot of other people don't either!

Answer 2

i used proactiv and that worked wonders

Answer 3

Make an appointment with the dermatologist- you do not have to have this horrible acne.  I used to take a long term antibiotic that cleared up my acne.  Dont hesitate- just go!!

Answer 4

If you have acne this severe, and it is beyond just your face (like on your back, shoulders, chest), then you need to see a dermatologist for a medication like Accutane or oral antibiotics.  Accutane is a medication used for cystic/nodular acne or acne that is widespread (beyond the face) and has the potential for scarring.  Oral antibiotics are sometimes used when the acne is not as severe.  

Topical medications are not appropriate for acne that involves other parts of the body beyond the face because clothing and bedding rubs it off.  If your acne is affecting your outlook and mood this much, it is definitely time to see a doctor/dermatologist.  Over-the-counter products are unlikely to help, and home remedies are only effective for extremely mild acne.  

If you are absolutely unable to see a doctor, then you can try using some of these products, in the order I've listed:  bar wash, followed by toner, and then treatment cream.

ZAPZYT Treatment Bar, 10% Benzoyl Peroxide

Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Controlling Astringent

Sudden Change Scar Zone A, Acne Treatment + Acne Scar Diminishing Cream

These are all relatively inexpensive products and should also all be available in a local drugstore or retail store.  They won't be as effective as Accutane, and you can't practically use the treatment cream all over your body, but it can be very effective for the face.

Answer 5

After unsuccessfully trying several over-the-counter acne medications, many people turn to a dermatologist to help them deal with their acne problems. This usually requires frequent visits to the doctor's office as well as one or more expensive prescription drugs that do not always solve the problem. Fortunately, a trip to the dermatologist does not have to be the last resort. There are a plethora of acne home remedies that may work as well or better than any of the over-the-counter or prescription medication that you purchase at the drug store.

3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.

4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.

5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.
