What are some good extreme treatments for acne?
I am interested in what kinds of things I can do to cure acne. I tried proactiv, every OTC product active ingreedient, homemade salacylic acid cream (which I synthesized myself), tricholoroacetic acid which I synthesized myself but was afraid to use, accutane, surgery, acyclovir, ciprofloxacin, dynacin, doxycycline, minocycline, phenolated vaseline, an all-apple diet, and even lye soap
Nothing works. I am 21 years old and in professional school. Accutane worked for a while, but not long term. What is the next last-resort therapy that is "guaranteed" to work?
Keep in mind that I have become resistant to many bacterial organisms, and have almost died three times due to complications from these various therapies.
What is the next step?
I want to add that this is a case of resistant cystic acne. This is very dangerous and can even lead to morbidity and mortality. This is not something to joke about. This is a serious disease - not "zits" - this is a disease I want you to keep that in mind when answering this question.

my son has been using pine tar soap for a lil over a month now. it has really helped clear it up. he had it really bad. huge sores on his face, back and some on his arms and chest. you can get it thru your pharmacy. it costs about $4 a bar and a bar can last 3-4 wks.

How about a DeWalt 9inch angle grinder. Available with 240v input and plenty of sanding discs…?
Just a joke. Stop squeezing tho.
