my mom won’t let me see a derm cuz our insurance doesn’t cover it and she says it’s too expensive. and i’m not old enough to have a job so i can’t pay for it. but i have severe acne. right now i have 19 pimples on my face. 19! all of them are big and red and painful and pus filled. so gross. i tried everything over the counter: olay, neutrogena, proactive, biore, clean and clear…NOTHING WORKS!

I am not interested really in buying a set and I have to buy it at a mall because my mom she doesn’t want me to use it she thinks that it’s cheap and she takes me to spas to get this super exspensive stuff that doesn’t even work that well…. and all my friends use it they say that it is great!!! PLEASE HELP

My mom told me this… I’ve heard that acne isn’t caused by what we eat, but can drinking more water help get rid of it??
Sources are much appreciated!!

My mom says pouring alcohol on cotton balls and rubbing it on my face will clear up my acne. Will it?
If it won’t what are some things that will?

My mom had really bad acne when she was about my age and my dad had clear skin, like never had a zit, I seriously NEED something to clear me up. I’ve been on birth control for about 3 weeks and 2 days to help me clear it up, its not working so far. I prefer something cheap and things you can find around the house. I’ve also been on Clearasil Ultra. Please please please help me out here!
