why won't my acne go away?

I have tried hella things. from cheap drugstore brands to a few high end products. NOTHING has worked. I have had acne since the 3rd grade. (I know, quite sad), and I clearly remember having one day of clear skin since then. I am in 12th grade now. I am really sick of it, and I am desperate to get rid of this. I am on birth control now, hoping it might be my hormones, but so far nothing. PLEASE HELP!

Answer #1

There are many different reasons why this could be including; -Genetics -Lack of certain minerals and vitamins in diet -Hormones -Some sort of deficiency -Some sort of illness

Although most of the above can be treated. And as some have already said the birth control pill can be effective. I had acne and my practise nurse put me on Dianette which tackles acne, unwanted hair and also obviously birth control.

Answer #2

Try cutting out/cutting down dairy products and opting for soy instead. I’m a vegan and I’d been vegetarian for a while before that and my skin is very clear. I’ve never had acne problems. Often the fats associated with dairy are just unneccesary as you can get the same vitamins and nutrients from soy milk and tofu products without ingesting all the fat and hormones.

Answer #3

Have your primary physician refer you to a dermatologist who specializes in helping people with acne and other skin conditions. My daughter who is almost 14 had acne really bad on her forehead starting around 3rd or 4th grade and when she hit puberty her whole face was and still is really bad. We had her Dr refer us and he gave her Retin-A amd an antibiotic cream and when she used them as she should, you can see a comsiderable difference. Try it, it may be very helpful for you.

Answer #4

Hey talk 2 your doctor about it if you haven’t already there are some prescription medicines that you can use to get rid of acne that are much stronger than the ones in drug stores. My sister used to have bad acne then she got prescribed some medicine and it’s gone now.
