Really, really bad acne problem. What now?

I've had this acne problem on my face ever since I was 13. I am now 20. I've just about tried everything under the sun. Dermatologists, prescriptions such as benzoyl peroxide, tazorac, minocycline; I've tried lights, home remedies, toothpaste, zinc cream, tea tree oil, honey, salicylic acid, washing face 2-3 times daily... etc. All of these treatments help for a little while, but then the breakouts come back. It is so frustrating that sometimes I just want to cry. I'm tired of wearing makeup to hide them. Personally I think its make it worse, so I try to go as long as I can without wearing it. But I have so many scars. The worst part of my face is my chin. I can't remember the last time I had a clear chin. Right now it feel swollen.

Is there anyone here that's faced this same problem? Is there any hope?
