I have had acne for 8 years, i am 15. Cant see my dermatologist until September. We cant afford to go and buy any fancy treatments or anything. (only got my dermatologist on referal) I have tried Proactive and it didnt work at all actually brought more up.
Does anyone know of anything i could try to keep them at bay? I have tried the toothpaste on spots at night (didnt work) i already drink about 9 glasses of water a day..any ideas?

Although I've only ever heard comedians recommend it, I do think the theory is sound. Haemorrhiod cream, appartently, works wonders and is a bit of showbiz make-up artists' secret weapon for boy-bands the world over. Shame no-one told Ricky Martin 'bout it.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Acne has a little to do with cleanliness! This is a general misconception. If you cant see a dermatologist now, eating a lot citrus fruit like lemon will help. And remember, don't rub you face too much, just wash enough. Avoid pricking those acne spots. Try to sleep proportionately.

i think clean and clear foaming facial cleanser and wash your face with it at least twice a day.. also i got oxy maximum acne treatment and just put it on the places a few times a day.. i am home a lot so it does not matter.. and they clear up withing 3 days.. this is not to high at walgreens or walmart.. but you must keep your face clean with the foaming cleanser and put this oxy on several times a day.. it really works...i hope this does help you and that you get over this even before you go see your dermatologist again,.. i know what proactive does and i told one person on here that it did not work for me.. try this and hope you have good results...do not eat greasy foods or chips ...and drink your water like you have been..

I got Proactiv, I was sketchy at first, but I feel sorry for those who it does not work on. It's made my face clear within days! I feel so much better about my face now. I stopped using it though and they came back, but if you apply it again they go away very fast. I guess I have to stay on it for awhile. I deffinately recommend it though. I've gone through so many different products that didn't work. This is the first that produced results!

try not to stress about it, it is something that happens to everyone, I suffered it too when i was your age I'm now 25 and it is gone completely. I used sunbeds to get rid of mine and it did work but i was worried about the other health risks so I got a big bowl and put hot water in it and then put my face just above it and covered with a towel like a mini facial i done this Evey 2nd night and it helped me

Sorry for you. Someone I know has a problem like this. Sunlight seems to be helping, get out more.
She has stopped using soap too. Water only. and this makes a difference.
Hope this gets better. If not soon, don't despair.
