Getting rid of an acne break out quick?

It's like a little less than a month from prom. I also have pictures that are going to be taken.. I really need help controlling my acne. I use different kinds of acne treatments- all at different intervals so my skin doesn't freak out- but it always tends to come back. I can never maintain my pretty skin. What are some really effective ways of curing acne quick? Maybe some really good products? (The product I've been using the last 3 months or so is Clean & Clear Morning Burst)

Freederm vs Benzoyl Peroxide for clearing acne?

I am wondering what the general feeling is on these acne treatments?

I currently have Freederm (active ingredient - nicotinamide which is an anti imflamatory) and fine it does work in reducing redness but dont know yet if it will prevent new spots coming.

I have read some good things about Benzoyl Peroxide and wonder which is best?
Or can I combine them??

Thanks

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.

How do you treat acne without using "spot" treatment?

After using a basic cream cleanser for a month I'm convinced that the "on the spot" acne treatments/cleansers I was using for 6 years that contained either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide was making me break out more. I started using the treatment again and I broke out again.

So now that i've been using a cream cleanser and nothing else I have MUCH less acne. now its about 5-7 zits... pretty consistently for the past few months.

how do i get rid of the last few zits without using harsh treatments?
