I'm obsessed with my facial blemishes?
In over 4 years I have acquried an obsession with my facial blemishes. I have a few nodules, I mainly get pustules (but I haven't in awhile), ocassionally papules & some whiteheads(closed comedones). I have a bunch of small acne scars on my forehead from picking but I've broken that habit.
I have combination skin meaning its oily on the forehead, nose & some of the skin under my eye right next to my nose. The parts that are oily are the areas that get acne & the dry areas are flawless. & I do use oil control film but it fails me.
I have tried everything from creams to foams to scrubs to facials to home remedies to on the spot acne treatments, benzoyl peroxide, salisylic acid, toners & so on.
I've used brands like Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Clean & Clear, Clearasil, St. Ives, Stridex, Sea Breeze, Eskinol, Olay, Erythromycin Topical Solution (prescribed by my dermatologist)
I have a device from Dermanew that uses microdermabrasion to refine & polish the skin & get deep down into the pores.
I mainly use honey if its for anything pimple related but I have used basil, oat meal, apple cider vinegar, sugar, green tea, etc.
I live cleanly & healthy. I was my hair everyday & make sure not to clean my hairline with conditioner. I pin my bangs up. My bed is clean. My house is clean. My town is not so clean. I eat healthy & drink tons of water, in fact its all I drink. I get enough hours of sleep. I am not stressed. My family hasn't suffered acne problems just the typical teen zits. I have finished my period a week ago too.
I have consulted my dermatologist about this & she gives me perscriptions that don't work or my mom won't buy it because its too expensive.
My acne isn't as severe as those people who desperately need it but on a scale from 1 - 10 of how pimply I am is about a 5.
So what can I do to rid myself of this acne or a way to cope with the ugliness.
Btw, all my treatments I have spaced out & I changed products like 4 or 5 months out of no results in usage.
I'm not stressed I'm just really bothered with all my acne.
Best acne treatment?
I've heard that Accutane is the most effective drug to cure for severe acne problems. My acne problems isn't severe enough to use accutane as acne treatment, but its quite bad and I feel I need something strong and effective to cure it. What is the next best treatment other than accutane?

Does proactive really work?
So I'm a sophomore and lately I've been having some big acne problems. It used to be easy to manage but its gotten difficult. I went to a dermatologist and they gave me some treatments that haven't been working. So I'm thinking of trying proactive and i wanted to know for people who've tried it does it really work? Especially if you have really oily skin.
