severe acne problem?



When I was a teen, I had no acne whatsoever, but as soon as I hit 20 I broke out badly. I tried everything under the sun to get rid of it.. I tried benzoil peroxide and salysidic acid face washes and scrubs, clindamycine, perscriptions, clay masks, clearasil, proactive, free acne, microderm abrasions, and even toothpaste! When those didn't work, I tried natural rememdies like mixes of herbs, garlic, turmeric, milk, lime juice, cucumber, honey, hot sauce and all sorts of other things. I even tried olive oil because I was told that it was good for pulling out the oil on your face. How? I didn't care...I'm just desperate to try anything. Heck I'd even try salami slices if someone told me they were good for getting rid of acne. (I know they're not, but...) Is there something I'm missing? I have a good diet. I eat fruits and veggies, I avoid red meats and fatty foods, I drink tons of green tea, I eat plenty of foods with garlic and hotsauce, and I exercise regularly. What am I doing wrong?

  1. have you been to your doctor and asked for antibiotics? my boyfriend has had it very bad for the past 6 years or so, but never saw a doc about it, when he finally did the doc perscribed him an antibiotic called oxytetracyclin and a cream called duac to use together. the antibiotics take a while to work, he didnt start to see a difference for about 3 months, its been about 6 months now and he only has a small patch on his chin. i think this is the best treatment when it comes to severe acne, its a long treatment but if your patient it will be well worth it.
    ps i have also heard sunbeds or sunbathing help alot too as it drys out the skin.

  2. u shud so try da
    egg whitez
    it workz 4 me =D

  3. Try going to see a dermotologist.

  4. Sometimes its little things you overlook. Are your pillow cases being cleaned regularly? Are you wearing alot of makeup regularly? Try to stick to one product, some take time to start working. AcneFree works nicely. Don’t wash your face excesively!!!! It will irritate your skin! Since it is so sudden, you may want to get checked by your dermatologist. It may be a skin condition or he can help you find a product you can stick to. Make sure that you are keeping your whole body clean!!! Sweat can also clog pores. Hope I helped =]] good luck!

  5. I am 15 years old and i had acne very badly not cystic acne just a lot of pimples on my forehead and around my chin and lip. I also have tried everything until i went to http://www.acne.org and i tried the regimen and please try it out for a month i promise you, you will see results not quickly for me it was about 2 weeks but now i am acne free but i do get a pimple here and there but they are gone after 2 days. You have to use 2.5 benzoyl peroxide and a mild cleanser and moisturizer. Just please log on to http://www.acne.org and read all about the regimen and the sucess stories.
