Back, chest, arm, and face acne?! D:?
OKay, so I'm 14 and my upper and lower back, the top of my arm close to my shoulders, my chest and of course, my face, all have acne and it SUCKS!!! I can't wear cute shirts where you can see just a little bit of my back because I'm embarrassed and I can't where tank tops or anything because of my arms.
I have literally tried EVERYTHING!
Proactive, Neutragena (sp?), Clean and Clear, Retin-a (sp?)..EVERYTHING!
I've gotten facials a couple times and I'd still have bad acne.
Right now I'm using Cetaphil and it seems to work, but my period is coming up soon, and that's usually when I start breaking out and I don't know if it'll keep working.
And I'm a vegetarian for over a year and a half, so no nasty greasy McDonald's cheeseburger.
I try to drink water like every five minute.
I live in Arizona, so it's hot, so I sweat a little bit. :/
I don't wear super tight shirts.
I mean, what am I doing wrong?!
I have researched LOTS of times on home remedies, tips.
And my mom is going to take me to a dermatologist, but I don't know how long that is going to be...
PLEASE, if there's any tips, home remedies, or anything you know of at all that might help, please tell me. )))):
Thank you. <3

The first thing I’ll say is to stop using those acne treatments. They contain really harsh chemicals and can do the skin more harm than good in the long run. Don’t waste your money on the dermatologist either. They’ll only recomment more anti-bacterial products.
Considering that your diet is good, it may be a hormonal imbalance causing it in your case. You may want to look into taking some hormonal balancing foods. Do you eat tofu or soy? These are good for that but I guess as you’re a veggie you may already be eating those. Or a holistic therapist could recomment some natural remedies.
Try to avoid dairy as well and maybe take a calcium supplement. These are well know methods for getting rid of acne.

STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND LISTEN.
make an appointment right now with a dermatologist near to you. And ask them about Epiduo. I’m using it and i used to have face, chest,back acne and now i have none of it. I know how you feel cause ive been getting pimples since i get 12 now im 14. The horrible part is the back and the chest. But believe me it does work. at least it worked out for me. Stop all those things you’re doing to your body and face and go to the dermatologist whos the only person that is able to fix your acne. Make an appointment right now and you’ll thank me for it.
