I’ve had this severe acne for a month or two now, I had minor to mediocre acne before that. I’ve tried everything, commercial products, home treatments, eating better, eating peanut butter [omega 3/6], and all sorts of other things. I’m really tired of it now, it’s completely making me go into an emo type of person. I’ve lost my friends because I don’t go outside anymore and I had a job interview yesterday but I was so self conscious about it that I told them I had to cancel it. My doctor [not a dermatologist] gave me some pills called "Doxycycline hyclate." Girls use them for stomach problems and he told me if I took them it’d probably help with my acne. I haven’t tried them yet because back when I had minor acne I never saw a difference in it. I’m going to start taking it again but I really don’t think it’s going to work. I looked up something online and it said that I should took showers daily and when I’m taking the shower, to face my face into the water and just let the water run on my face for about a minute, I did that yesterday and today and all it seems to do is dry out my face and leave a bad layer of dead[?] skin everywhere, I can only feel it on the good skin though [the skin without acne.] My mom bought me this bar of soap that is 10% benzoil[spell check] peroxide and that just REALLY dries out my skin. Someone please help me out, by the way, I get that cyst acne every now and then which is REALLY bad because it leaves serious scars that I know are never going to go away.
