Answer #1

It’s tough to go through this as a teen. My daughter dealt with severe acne too.

You will eventually grow out of this, but there are a few things you can try in the meantime to see if you can’t get it to decrease a little.

-Drinks lots of water…flushing your body of toxins is important for your skin -Use a proper cleanser…cleansers that dry skin out are actually counter-productive. Try something like Spectrojel or Phisoderm -Make sure you use an astringent after cleansing -A light moisturizer (look for one that is oil free) will keep skin from developing dry patches which act as breeding grounds for bacteria. -Exfoliate at least once a week…just make a paste with baking soda and give your face a gentle scrub to slough away dead skin -Maderma is good for scarring

I know it seems hopeless now, but try not to focus on it too much right now…it will go away in time.

Answer #2

I don’t know if this is helpful if you can’t go to a dermatologist, but I had bad acne too (and tried all of those clearasil and proactive stuff none of which worked) and asked my regular doctor after he did my physical and he prescrived a treatment that actually works so maybe ask your doctor next time you have to see him for something. Also my older sister used to use home remedies that worked when she was my age so look some up on the computer and maybe some will work. And mederma works really well with scars

Answer #3

Just to add on to ichibanarky’s advice, the statement that all problems with acne, oily skin, and facial blemishes go away after the teenagre years is /false/.

Many women still get these even as an adult, all through their life - just hopefully not as severe.
