i really care about you, and feel what you're going through, 'cause i went through the same thing. keep washing your face every day, and go to a clinic to ask a doctor to give you a prescription for *acutane*.

Ask your doctor for a prescription for Doxycycline (sp?), and use a skin care system geared towards your skin type. Clinique is expensive but it worked for me (in conjunction with the Doxycycline).
I know how you feel, I was there once too when I was younger. In five years this problem will seem minor even though it seems earth-shattering now. Don't place too much value on outside beauty. Do what you can to take care of yourself, but it is more important to be beautiful on the inside. Try not to be too superficial, or that's all you will be. Shallowness is not an attractive trait. Beauty only lasts for so long but what's inside you lasts for your whole life. Cultivate a relationship with God first, then do everything you can to expand your mind and your personality. Have interesting hobbies, be generous and kind to others, don't gossip or be rude. Be considerate of others, and approach any task given you with determination.
A kind and generous personality is what really draws people to you. Someone who is your "friend" simply because you are beautiful, rich, popular, or any of these type of reasons really aren't true friends. These are not the type of people that will do you any good at all. The first time you really need a friend to lean on they will disappear. The type of friends you need are the type that like you because of who you are. They will be there for you through thick and thin.

Hi
im really sorry to hear that but there is no medical overnight cure, you can dab on witch hazel or t-tree oil to the affected areas and this will dry them out , unfortunately the anti-biotics take at least realisticly 3 months to kick in, you can treat the prone areas to the above and put sliced tomato on them, this dries them right out, then even stick a moisturiser on for a few mins then rinse off after 5 mins.. also when your washing your face, wet for a good 5 mins with hot water then add a small bit of salt to the palm of your moist hand then gently rub onto your face, this seems to dry up and re-generarate skin.
I hope this helps hun, and Im sure youve got loads of beautiful other features that no-one would even notice the few spots..
xxxxxxx Best of luck

I know the stress you have girl. Listen. First have you ever heard of Hide the Blemish Concealer?! It covers zits SO WELL! Then you put on the liquid cover up then foundation. If you can't find the stuff... OMG I will pray for ya! Now take a deep breath and look at it this way. There are a lot of uglier people in the world. You are NOT one of the "normies"! You can also accentuate your eyes and lips and draw attention to them instead. Don't freak! I feel for ya girl! Umm.. yeah good luck. Tell me how it goes. OH! And I'm going into Grade ten in a new town. Small town everyone knows everyone. If I get in trouble with one person, I've messed with them all. You are in a minor sitch girl, feel lucky 'cause you are.

To get rid of acne/pimples, use an acne treatment with benzyl peroxide. To prevent acne from coming back, drink plenty of water every day. Use a daily face wash with salicylic acid in it to unclog dirt and oil from pores, which cause pimples. Make sure to moisturize every day too, because acne medicine will otherwise dry your face out. If your face thinks that it is being dried out, it will produce even more oil, causing acne. Even if it isn't all gone in 3 days, then buy concealor and/or powder that says oil free or that say its for acne prone skin. That way the make-up won't make your face break out even more. Hope I helped.

to get rid of redness, acne, and dryness:
(1) use a clay face mask 2-3 times a week (Queen Helene and Bath&Body are excellent brands)
(2) DO NOT use acne face washes, creams, toners, or cleaning pads (over the counter or prescription)
(3) ask your dermatologist about Accutane
(4) use oil free hypo allergenic spf 15 or higher lotion before you apply makeup
(5) good makeup brands are almay and estee lauder- i've never tried it, but i hear prescriptives is good too.
(6) try estee lauder's idealist lotion or estee lauder's clear difference lotion before going to bed.
(7) also, try Purpose facewash ($5 at Target).

Well if medicine doesn't work the only thing that you can do is put makeup over it, I mean its not healthy to cover up your pimples with makeup but i guess that would take care of the problem, go to MAC and tell them your situation and they will help you find makeup that would help you cover it up.

First off only use lotion and make-up that does not clog pores. Get moisturizer for the dryness, and use face wash in the morning and night. Also use overnight acne cream to leave on your face while you sleep.

Keeping your face clean is usally the best. There are many products you can purchase, but rest assured you won't be the only one at school with acne.
