Go to the doctor, and ask for a cream (NOT pills!!)....mine has given me creams called "Benzaclin" and "Clindoxyl".....both work for me.

Ok I had a lifelong battle with cystic acne & scarring. Do yourself a big favor & see a dermatologist,. My mother was so opposed to any medication that I had to put up with it at your age, & as an adult have had to pay out a fortune to get rid of my acne scarring. Hopefully your parents will have more sense than mine. I went on Acutane some years ago, and yes it is not safe & has bad side effects but was so worth it. Or perhaps your dermatologist will have another suggestion.
As for acne scarring many people will answer with this or that topical product or cream that is put on the surface of the skin, but really these people have never had scarring or they would know these products do NOT work.
I had sever acne scarring so I have tried every easy & cheap solution and can tell you from personal experience.
Then I had dermabrasion done. It is very painful and improved the depth of my scars by 20% at best. It stands to reason that if dermabrasion didn't help much, microdermabrasion will be useless but I never had that done so can't say for sure.
Then I had the scars injected with collegen, which filled them in for the most part , but that only lasts a few months & then you have to redo it.
So then I had Articol injected to fill them in. Not only did it do a better job of filling the scars in, it lasts a long time. I had it done over a period of a few years (its very expensive so couldn't afford to do it all at once. That was 4 years ago and it hasn't faded at all. This is my recommendation as someone who has been there. Get a qualified plastic surgeon to inject the Articol.
Well you will probably have to wait til you are an adult to have anything done about the scarring unless your parents are very understanding. I hope they are.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Hi,
I totally know where you're coming from. I struggled with really, really bad acne about 2 years ago. Intially I tried tetra-cyclin and retin-a. However, my skin got freakishly dry and I started getting a weird rash on my face.
I quickly stopped taking them and tried Proactive. That sure was a waste of money. I finally started showering directly after the gym and found that this helped tremendously. I also tried a free product I got on the net called Beautiful Skin. Believe it or not, it worked way better than the prescription stuff! I only paid $4.95 for shipping for a month supply. I re-ordered and I use it to make sure I don't get back my zits. It also has tea tree oil which feels really good on my skin.
Here's the link if you want to get it, I think it's the best thing I've ever bought for the price $4.95

Good Luck!

Your acne means your blood is dirty. Herbs can help you. Find a naturopathic or homeopatic doctor for help.
