I suffer terribly with acne. Just the other day I had a serious acne breakout and nothing would work to relive me. When I start something, it works for about 2 months then I'll have another breakout and I can't recover from it very quickly. Right now my face looks really terrible. I was my face everyday.
HELP ME! PLEASE! What can I do to take care of my acne problem.

Try a dermatologist. they can give you a prescription medication to help stop the acne. Also try not to drink any caffeine or carbonated drinks. They help break a lot of people. Oh yeah and drink lots of water. It helps clean the body and skin. And don't forget to wash your face

Go to a dermatologist. They can prescribe certain medicines to help, and they can tell you what to do exactly.

But remember... its normal during puberty. Even if it doesn't look the best, most teens have dealt with it.

there's a plethora of variations regarding acne. depending upon which acne you have, different chemicals may or may not work. personally i use benzoyl peroxide, for the acne i have. your situation may be different however.

general purpose acne medications usually come in benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. if i were you, i'd go to your drug store and buy a cream bottle of both the chemicals i stated. try the b. peroxide for two weeks; if that doesn't give, then try the s. acid for another two weeks; until you figure out which cream suites your case of acne.

you say you wash your face every day, eh? this very well might possibly be the culprit. take into consideration your skin. if you wash your face too much you may be irritating the acne. however if you do not wash your face enough, you possibly are doing nothing to cure your situation.

acne will not cure itself. you're going to have to put forth time and effort. i would experiment with those cream bottles, and figure out a plan when you should wash your face.

hope this helped

there are many reasons for acne.maybe your not eating right?your not working out? but the main reason that ive seen that causes acne is eating to much butter or anything with alot of oil such as butter..peanut butter..cooking oil..ETC

Unfortunately in Trinidad a dermatologist is very expensive. About $1800 TT dollars (USD $300).

Ah, that is not cheap.
Do you see a doctor regularly?
They could probably help you at least a little bit at your next visit.
