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.

Well I think there are certain pills to take for acne, for example, I THINK erythromycin helps it. You can probably get this prescribed from your doctor. About the scars, have you tried the product Bio Oil? That was made specifically for scars and stretch marks etc. But most scars become less noticeable over time, so if you can make the acne go away, hopefully the scars will improve themselves.

As someone who used to suffer from acne, and is now paying for it, I understand your situation. There is a creme called Mederma, it is at the drugstore. It is cheap and you can even use the generic version. If that doesn't work try a vitamin E oil. Both of those things are used for scars in doctors' offices, and acne does leave scars.

I would try using Paula's Choice Remarkable Skin Lightening Lotion if your scars are more like discoloration rather than actual scar tissue. Also, a daily Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliant does wonders for your skin. Try Paula's Choice 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel.

Also, chemical peels are an option if you become knowledgeable about them before going for any type of procedure...kind of pricey, though. Some type of micro-demabrasion (either at a salon or one of those home kits) would work too, to stimulate skin cell renewal.

Microdermabrasion and peels work great. They can be pricey. If you live near any beauty school check their prices. Most are cheap since its performed by students. Make sure there is an instructor there also.

try maderma scar removal, its a lotion for your face, or anywhere that help reduce the aooearance of a scar or make it go away. I think that if that doesnt work then they wont go away, you have to try not to pop, or pick your pimples.
