Skin problem

ever since I turned 13 I've had problems with my skin. its not that bad and from far you cant see it but I feel self conscious at times.
I've been on Medication for about 2 years now and my skin looks fine but I tried going off it and it was fine for...

about 2months then I got the break outs again. the break outs aren't that bad or hurt but I really want to go off the medication since I cant use it for the rest of my life.
a skin doctor told my brother ( who is on the same thing) to use cheap non beauty soaps to wash his skin with I tried it and it didn't work. I also used stuff like Oxy for a while and once again it failed me.
does anyone have any suggestions what to do since I'm getting tired of the medication.

Actually - it's probable that you wouldn't be on the medication for the rest of your life anyways since acne is the worst in your teenage years. It could just be temporary.

Have you tried using Proactive - people swear by it.

no im actually scared of using it since it left marks and dimples in some of my friends faces and the scars look horrible.

Visit a dermatologist and talk with him/her about your skin. The dermatologist will recommend effective products, probably. Good luck

Use clearasil!
Its so much better then proactive.
Every body gets a break out every once in a while.
Don't freak out if you get a break out, happens to the best of usss.

thing is I dont get them once in a while as soon as im off the medication.. my skin looks horrible...

I get dry skin really easily and Johnson and Johnson's 24 Hour Moisturizer works really well. Jergen's is really great too. Also try Eucerin Daily Replenishing Lotion. Why don't you get back on your medication?

im a person who isnt fond of medication. currently I am on the medication but I really want to go off it permanently!
