Accutane. My nephew got a prescription for it from his dermatologist. HOWEVER, your insurance company may not cover it, and there is like a 12 page warning accompanying it, as well as special procedures you have to follow just to get it. If you have any history of mental illness at all, then you can't get it.

Have you tried the cream for acne? If that doesnt work, then maybe you're just too stressed out. Ppl who are stressed usually get acne. Chill out for a while or take a break. Or maybe it's the weather you're living in. That is usually why ppl get acne, it's cuz of the weather.

Hi. I have never had acne till about 6 months back thanks to leave in conditioner. Don't use moisturizers or any creams till your acne goes away. Use Betadine surgical scrub, leave on for 15 minutes, then wash your face with Acne Aid soap and apply Panoxyl 5.0 daily. take antibiotics for 6 days meanwhile. (Euryspam) I use these meds. Best if you can consult a doc first but I know how desperate acne makes you feel.

Your dermatologist will know best on this one and will have far more info to go on than any of us have. We don't even know how old you are or whether you are male or female. However, on the assumption that you are a teenager, most acne is caused by a rise in the level of male hormones (both in boys and girls). In girls, the female hormones usually catch up eventually and the acne problem reduces.

well, how old are you now? most people have acne for almost 8 years in their life, and not only on their face. ...*you know you shouldn't touch your spots, don't you?*always clean hands and wash your face with an antiseptic product, at least once a day.*and you know all this stuff about drinking more water.. it is true. so try drinking more water!*for faster results, though, apply lemon juice on your face.*honey is also good for your skin. you can mix lemon juice with honey or aspirin with honey and apply on your face, leaving for a few minutes (5-10) and then clean with warm water.*you can also apply some iodine on each spot.*if you go to the beach, it is good for acne, because sea water contains iodine and other salts, as you know.*try this trick with the boiled water, where you bend above it and put a towel so that the steam doesn't go away...? you understand! and put some chamomile in it.*drink green tea, it's good.*be patient -someday acne will finally leave you alone!good luck
