What is up with my acne!? Please help…!!?
Please, I am 15 in a week, female, 5'2, done growing, caucasian, whatever. I have tried like everything for my acne! I only have it on my face, not on my back or chest. I wash it almost every morning and night with face wash and scrub it in circular motion, but every day I get blackheads and pimples! I am starting to get acne scars and its overtaking my face!
I don't mean to sound cocky or rude, but I actually have a pretty face but I'm starting to look really ugly because of it! Its going along the corners of my mouth, and up into my hairline! I'm so sick of it! Is there something that is GUARANTEED!? Other than Proactiv! That stuff stinks! It turned my face red and it stung so bad, and I went light on it too. So, my face is very sensitive. Thank you SOO much and God bless! 10 points!!
Oh and every time I workout or sweat or get my face dirty, whatever, then I rinse it off.

Awww honey, I know exactly what you’re going through. I had acne so bad from the age of 14 until like 20. And it was horrible. I finally started going to my Dr about it and they tried EVERYTHING. You may want to go to your doctor and try some antibiotics (pills) and something called Cleocin-T (topical). And then if that doesn’t work you may want to talk him into letting you try Accutane. It’s a very controversial drug that most Dr’s are afraid of prescribing, but it’s AMAZING!! After years of acne and trying everything, accutane did it for me! My face looks a million times better and I’m so confident now. Just make sure you learn about all of the precautions while taking it and be careful not to get pregnant while on it. Let me know if you need more info. Good luck!!!

If you go to your docotor he/she will give you something for your acne that will most likely work good.

You should really meet with a dermatologist.
They could get you a personal subscription for something that will work with your skin type.

i have acne, and i know that proactiv sucks too!! when i applied proactiv on my face, my face stung like heck! just like yours. i just wait and be patient. just eat lots of veggies and fruits, and excersize at least 30 minutes a day, and wash morning and night. that’s it. simple.

you might wanna see a dermatologist………. you also could be using the wrong stuff on your face…… and why are you scrubbing in a circular motion? i have pretty sensitive skin..and its pretty acne prone… i use a face-wash and an sensitive skin toner and a nutragena lotion meant for faces with SPF in it……… makeup and over washing skin are very bad for it….. as are touching your face and having your hair on it……and a lot of time it gets worse for a week or two before it gets better even with stuff a dermatologist puts you on or recommends

First of all, quit scrubbing your skin! That is the second worst thing you can do—the first is picking at your pimples.
Have you tried a product with 2% salicylic acid?
Personally, I’d recommend a dermatologist if your getting scars. There are ways to avoid them.
