First Q is how old are u and of course male or female and which nationality u have?
-The acne treatment depends on what kind of acne u have…we have many differen treatment for therm…
-First Step is avoid sun shine…u can use some protection cream which has the SPF over than 25%…then if u are a smoker have to decrease the number of them….decrease the fat food u take(oily.fast food.chips…)….drink enough water (more than 2 lits a day)….wash ur face with no bacter soap(at least twice a day)…if u are a girl dont use bad brand of make up stuff and wash ur make up as soon as possible(even if u use removal cream )…..if u start any mild sport like areobic or even jogging it will make ur skin better….take good nutrition and vegetable….
-secound we have some locolize solution …they are antibactrial like erythromycin 1% and ….u can use them once every 2 nights on ur acnes(avoid 2 cm around ur eyes and 2 cm around ur mouth including ur nasolabial lines)….
-third u can use systemic antibiotics like tetracyclin or doxi by the order of ur G.P or dermatologist….
-if non of them work or u have cystic acne with scar u have to use a drug calls Actane its full of Vit A , it has his own order and u just can have it by a dermatolog …
-we have some other treatments like Microdermabration(its usefull for black spots),pilling(deep and superficial) for make the acne and the scar of them goes….
its better if u visit a dermatologist.i know u r already go but dermatologist cant give u all treatment in the same time.
Good Luck
P.S:proactive is just a comercial brand …not very useful
Stop eating too much chocolate.
Ortho-tricyclen birth control pills worked for me. Since I started taking them, I haven’t had a single pimple. If you are old enough, or your mom/dad will let you, I suggest that.
Also, I have heard that Accutane works really well, but you have to be on birthcontrol when you take it because it causes horrible birth defects if you get pregnant.
There is a book out now called "The Skin Type Solution". Try checking it out from the library and see if it helps. There’s a lot of info in it.
I have heard in the old days they used to rub urine on their acne at night and let sit for anout 45 minutes then wash thoroughly with mild soap
I had the same problem,I have been and still useing Lorel’ Three step acne kit. It’s in a blue bottle but make sure The first step has the exfoliating beads this is affordable,good, and refreshes your skin when the whole regimin is done…trust me it works check it at CVS or Harmons cosmetic discount stores. GO NOW YOU"LL LOVE YOUR RESULTS!!!
Did you go to your family doctor or a dermatologist? My son used proactiv and got some improvement. The GP put him on antibiotics, and that helped, too. But it was the dermatologist who really got his skin clear.
I have 2 agree w/Jennifer, Ortho tri-cyclene worked 4 me when i was trying not 2 get pregnant then after i had surgery i started using Accutane which worked wonders for my face cuz i not only got little pimples i got them huge boil looking things. the only sucky thing is u gotta go 2 the Dr. every month so they can check your blood to make sure your liver is ok.
