I've been using proactive for a long time now, and I rarely miss a use.
What else can I try?
I don't want to try accutane, but if you have a good reason I should I'd love to hear it...

You need to see a dermatologist.
Proactiv worked for me for a while, but the acne came back, and didn't go away until I was on accutane for a year.
Acne is a beast, but you can beat it with the right medication.
Accutane has been known for its bad side effects. I was on a drug similar to accutane, but without the side effects. It was called Amnesteem, and it worked for me. Good luck.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

i had that when i was younger. the only thing i could do was hot compresses and let it take it's course. i tried tetracycline for a while. it worked well but caused yeast infections.(sorry, if you're a guy that probably doesn't apply)
