I've struggled with mild ance for about 3 years now, and while it's never gotten really bad, I thought I had it under control about three weeks ago. I was virtually acne free. I wash my face with Neutrogena Acne Wash daily. Just recently I had a really bad breakout and I haven't recovered from it since. I need some serious help! It's been getting worse by the day and I don't know what to do.

I don't know if you are seeking a at home cure or help prescription wise. I do know that I was once on a antibiotic called doxycycline for a skin infection, and my doctor actually said that this drug is also used for acne problems and works great although I don't know if you could just go to the doctor and ask them for that although it doesn't hurt to ask. My, boyfriend was also on the same drug for the skin infection and he usually has bad acne breakouts on his back and it was amazing how when he was on the how fast his acne also cleared on his back

suggesting the worsening nature of acne, topical antibiotic such as erythromycin or clindamycin twice daily should able to do the trick. apply after cleaning with face wash. if it is too bad, isotretoin cream can be used on night only due to carcinogenic effects. refer to nearest for pharmacist for advice and products. stop other topical OTC products for acne while using topical antibiotic to prevent any possible adverse event.
