Please help me with my severe acne!?
It's worse now than it has EVER been in my whole life. I used to complain when I had like ten pimples, but now I wish I could go back in time to have that! Many teenagers complain about having one single zit, but I would give everything to just have that! I'm in 12th grade, and I've had acne since the beginning of 7th grade. I've tried so many facial cleansers, topical treatments, and I've been to the dermatologist a numeral of times. I've been on three different acne treatments by the dermatologist so far. All of them work at first, but I guess when my face becomes 'immune' to it; it stops working.. which is about after a month or two. Right now I'm on the ointment ziana plus the pill solodyn. I've been on erythromycin-benzoyl peroxide topical gel, and tazorac cream. Yes, I've already tried the Pro-Activ and Clean&Clear system. I don't wear any make-up powder or foundation. I've changed my detergent, I wash all my blankets, changed my shampoo and conditioner, but nothing seems to help. I tried that trick of using toothpaste, alchohol, and many more! I'm desperate right now. Please help me! :(

What makes matters worse is I have school tomorrow, and I go to a school where not ONE girl has acne :( Also, my dream is to become a model.. the first thing photographers and agents look at is your skin.
i DON'T THiNK iT'LL EVER GO AWAY :(
If you read the whole thing, you would've seen I already used that Clean&Clear system :( I had an allergic reaction to it that made my face swell up like a balloon!
Also, you would've read that I used Pro-Activ! Gawh; lol.. but thanks for answering people :)

You’re very pretty, acne or no acne. My neighbor who’s a nurse started having her teens take a zinc tablet daily for their acne. I was a skeptic, but within a couple months, both her teens had clear skin. I take zinc because it does something so I never have stinky arm pits. Worth a try?

First of all, dont stress about it too much, that will make it worse, and second, try proactive. People say it doesnt work, but it actually does. The only downside is that it takes about two weeks to start working, and if you stop for a few days, it comes back. But try it out. I would recomend it. For now, just mix toothpaste and lemon juice together and rub it onto you face. Good luck!

Stop taking pills and using acne shit. Wash your face with WATER for a while.
