These are questions you can call the derm adn ask him. actually, go schedule a visit maybe, and they can give you free skin lotion samples that will help. \nYou need to be on isotretinoin for months.......and more. \nI am on duac and tazorac. It makes my face peel which helps with scarring........\nas for lotion, it depends on what you can afford, but i found that \nI bought creams vs. lotions will help with dry skin.\nEucerin is excellent over the counter. \nYou could try almond oil, actually Jojoba oil is excellent at promoting skin healing. and a more natural product.\nif your face is so dry adn peeling, when you re washing your face, use a wet/warm wash cloth to gently rub against your facial skin to help exfoliate, this will help too.\nLavender essential oil is excellent at deterring germs and good for acne too. and gentle on the skin. look on line for essential oils dealing with acne/  google it.....

Go to your doctor. Your doctor can prescirbe you with a hormone controlling pill that will balance your hormones. Acne is a result of hormonal imbalances. It doesnt matter that it is on your buttox. Taking the prescription will balance your hormones and rid you of any acne.

Wash your face with anything that contains salycylic acid.  Neutrogena oil free face wash helped me out.

I actually just got the smoothbeam treatment and it worked pretty well.  I just started going to the dermatologist in upstate new york, where i live, and they put me on Keflex(an oral antibiotic), gave me Clindamycin pads, Gylcolic Acid pads for many body, and just recently, RetinA cream.  It all is starting to work, and my acne is really clearing up.  I just had the smoothbeam laser thingy, and it was pretty painless.  I saw some improvement from it a couple days after, and i still have a few more to go.  The V-Beam laser thing isn't approved by insurance, because its considered a "cosmetic" surgery, and i think im getting that done in late summer.  I guess it gets rid of all the redness on my face.  I suggest going to a better dermatologist, because I also struggle with acne.  But now that I'm seeing a dermatologist, my skin is starting to clear.  I heard accutane is really bad, because it dries out your whole body.  OH, i forgot, i also use a soap that is fragrance-free,dye-free, and free of anything else but gentle cleanser. That's what i use on my face when i wash it.  When you go to a GOOD dermatologist, make sure you follow EVERYTHING they tell you, don't skip anything.  Make sure you speak up and say that NOTHING has worked and be honest about it.  They'll know what to do, because acne doesn't last forever.  What you may have are acne scars, according to my dermatologist, and they'll stay red like that for a long time, unless you get some V-Beam treatments, which you should ask about.  The only problem is that, although the Smoothbeam treatments are payed for by insurance, the V-Beam treatments are not.  It's going to cost me about $200 per session,and ill need 2 sessions.  My dermatologist said that people usually see a 50-80 percent difference after the treatment, so it works really well.\n\nI hope this all helps, just try and go find a good dermatologist!!

Oh, congrats! I was on Accutane when I was 15 (over 10 years ago) and can sing its praises enough...I'm living proof that it WORKS. You just have to be consistent with the regimen and honey-you are gonnna LOVE the results...I always get compliments on my skin, and people are amazed when I tell them what I used to look like..After all is said and done, make sure to take care of your investment (and the only face you'll ever have) by remembering to moisturize and cleanse twice a day....Good luck! You deserve it!...And make sure to have empathy when you see others who are going thru what you already know...:O)

Try pro-active or see a dermatologist. I had acne that was caused by stress and a hormonal imbalance and my dermatologist put me Acutane and it worked great but it takes at least 2 months to start working.

I had bad acne about a year ago, and i was using Olay something... and it did absolutely nothing. Then, I tried Proactiv, and i noticed that it only agrivated my skin, and made it dry and super oily at the same time. I just started using Oxy... it's been only a week and my face is COMPLETELY CLEAR. They have anything medium to maximum... i use maximum because my skin is oily... but use what you think is right. Whatever you do, Just try it!! Also, make sure that if you're wearing makeup, it isn't clogging your pores... and wash it off completely at night! Don't use drug store foundation, it's gaurenteed to ruin your skin. Use Clinique- they have a good line of oil-free foundation. Also, make sure you wash your makeup brushes at least once a week... they carry bacteria that'll also clog up pores. Tie your hair back when you go to sleep... it keeps hair and thier natural oils/ any hair products from making you break out.\n\nGood Luck!

Talk to a dermatologist.  If the acne is moderate to severe there is laser treatment and a powerful drug called accutane.  Accutane is amazing but needs to be closely monitored.

It depends on your skin-type. Just because you have acne doesn't necessarily mean you have oily skin. Find out your skin-type and then look for a company that offers a regimine for your type. Clinique, Philosophy and Bath N' Body Work's C.O. Bigelow have some great products for specific skin-types and acne solutions.\n Most of all, keep your skin clean and properly moisturized. (if your skin gets dry-it will make more oil!)

Proactiv has always really been fantastic for any type of acne. They sell a body scrum that you can use on your back that should help clear it all up. Good luck!

According to my opinion you have to focus in two fields.\n\n- Basically, keep it clean using good antiseptic products, like soap, lotion, cream and powder that will absorb any oily secretions.I use to buy them in the pharmacy.\nUse a product for peeling,at least once weekly,that will deliberate your skin from dead cells.Use it preferably before going to bed in order to avoid irritations.\nIn the market you can find some products containing fruit acids; they are very effective if you follow the instructions but take care because if the amount is over 7.5% they may cause allergies. \nSome times also a boric acid solution that is the antiseptic used for the cure of eyes can help if buffered after soap and water.\n\n- Then, take care of your lifestyle ie. eating drinking, smoking, sleeping, exercising.I mean light food,more yoghurt, carrots and fruits,brewers yeast as a food supplement can also help,no chocolates, no alcohol, no cigarettes and less stress. I would suggest aerobic; it is very pleasant and relaxing and contributes also in the prevention of other diseases, I would say contributes in aging healthy.\n\n- Visit your doctor and have a test for policystic ovaries; it is a disorder that can cause acne.

you could go to a dermatologist or you could try the pro-activ solution, you can buy from TV shop in almost any country. i am 28 and still have spots and i am going to order the order the products. they contain salyic acid and retinal which are ingredients found in all anti-acne products. even jessica simpson, alicia keys and sean coombs use it. it must be worth a try.\ngood luck to both you and me.
