I've had bad acne for six years now?!


Question: I've had bad acne for six years now.?
I got my first zit in 6th grade and now i'm a senior in high school and my skin is still awful. I have terrible acne all over my face. My skin's insanely oily and my pores are huge. I've tried everything: every product you can find in drugstores, proactiv, murad, many other expensive 3/4 step systems, i've been prescribed pills by the doctor that didn't work. I drink tons of water everyday. I eat healthy. Anyone have any suggestions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Health Question & Answer

That sounds a lot like me. I, too, tried every skin care cream/cleanser/toner I saw. I also tried Proactiv and it did nothing. I have had severe acne for seven years and during those years my mother and I got everything we knew of and tried it on my acne, but nothing seemed to work. Recently I went to the dermatologist and got put on Accutane. It is a six month treatment of pills you take everyday. After the six months your skin is supposed to be completely clear forever (except for maybe a few breakouts at the time of your period). Some people don't clear completely in the first treatment so they do a second treatment and clear up. However only people with severe acne are eligible and there are some pretty extensive guidelines to the treatment. Consult your dermatologist about it.

I find that zits heal faster when moisturized. Aveeno "positively radiant" moisturizer works best on my skin, and it also has little light diffusing particles in it that make your skin tone look more even if you have any scars from old zits.

It costs about $8 per bottle but I really like it, and you don't need to use much, especially if you have oily skin.

You might just be going through a normal teenage acne phase. It sucks, but it is probably associated with hormones, and will clear up in your 20's. One thing that often helps is birth control pills as they regulate your hormones.Health Question & Answer

eating, sleeping, drinking, and stress has a lot to do with your skin. first off....when you wake up wash your face with a scrub..it has little beads in it and it will take the dead skin off. use hot water. than damp it dry and wash will a regular face wash. then dry with a paper towel. use a non oil based lotion on your face. during the day wash your face with a baby wipe or some kind of make up cloth. do this after you eat and stuff. before bed wash your face normally and then apply a little lotion. keep up the routine and you should see a difference. i use neutragena and it works wonders.Health Question & Answer
