What is the best acne medication/treatment/everything? Ive been trying to keep my acne under control for years now. I made appointments to see a dermatologist but they don't have any openings until 2 months from now and by the time I go for my second visit, Ill be 21with no insurance until mine own kicks in. (I'm under my fathers) I don't want to go to one without insurance because its a lot of money and I have college tuition and books to pay for. Anyways, I was just wondering if there is any great treatment for it. I don't have big pimples but more like the little ones on my forehead and alot of scarring for pimples. I'm using the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions now. No, Proactive did NOT work for me. Any thing would do for now. I hear of the Differin cream. Does that work? Some make up tips would do to cover up. Bare Mineral looks caked on me so that one is out of the question (no i didn't use more than I should) I use Maybbelline Dream Mate foundation. Any make up that I can find in department or drugstores would do.

How to treat acne scarring? Hi everyone. I'm 15 years old (male) and just finished 2 courses of Accutane. My skin is still terrible however, with many, many, left behind acne scars on my cheeks. I have lived with them for a LONG time, and nothing is working to help them fade, not even time itself. I have used scarring medications every day, vitamin E cream, and even Penaten cream, every single night for a long period of time. They haven't decreased the amount of redness or noticeability of my scars. I feel terrible. My friends sometimes comment and jokingly tease me about them(What great friends huh?). I laugh it off, but it hurts deep inside. Is there anything I could do? Or is the only option to save up for surgery?

ACNE scars? I was on medication for acne, but how do you calm the scars down? I was on the medication cream for my face and it works, but rather then concealer, is there anything else that can get rid of them?
Prescription acne medication? I'm almost 16 so i know acne is "just gonna happen". But this is getting ridiculous. I don't have severe cystic acne, but enough to have low self esteem issues. I've used neutrogena, clean and clear, cetaphil, and clearisil, all with no help. I've used acne treatment gels, with the same minimal result. I've used tea tree oil, and proactiv both of which are EXTREMELY drying. Proactiv burnt my skin and after I stopped using it, (used for about 3 months) my skin got a lot worse. I switched to tea tree oil which is also extremely drying and similar to proactiv, if I don't use it for 1 day, my skin looks horrible. I used to get nasty white heads on my chin and around my mouth and upper lip, which have stopped but have been replaced with small bumps, some not visible to the naked eye, all over my face. i get red zits that aren't popable and leave scars. What can a doctor do for me at this point? I use the neutrogena wave now which makes the small areas of my cheek, that are unaffected by acne, really soft. But I need a real solution, I've used home remedies as well. I don't want to use something that I'll have to use for the rest of my life. With proactiv and tea tree oil, if you stop using it, you become worse than what you started with.
best acne medication? ive had acne since i was in 4th grade [im 16 now] and its basically the worse its been. ive got tons of scarring that mostly fades away in half a yr. i really need something thatll work and that wont let my acne come back after one missed dose. ive taken benzaclin and that has gotten my skin completely clear at one point but then i ran out and now im stuck with all these scars. i was looking into accutane but ive read some bad reviews. i want something that i can take [pills/ injections] that is a more long lasting cure. is there anything out there? ive tried proactive and it didnt do a thing.
Has anybody had any luck using Retin A 0.1% for acne medication? My dermatologist said my acne was severe and gave me two options, accutane or retin A...he suggested that i try Retin A first, im going on my third week of using it, and so far it seems to have gotten rid of some scarring and blemishes, but im had a break out today...is this normal??
"It gets worse before it gets better" Is this true for curing acne? okay so i have started on benzaclin in the morning and differin at night...and its sort of helping so far..ive gotton a few zits but no major breakout...its just seems like a normal zitty week of mine. i get them especially on my chin and around there, so is it "drawing up the impurities?" ive gotton seven zits on my chin since saturday!! whats weird is that once they showed up they would heal really fast (i still currently have two of them to peak and then heal) sorry if this is graphic at all. do these medications help acne scars at all? Ive heard that for people who've used benzaclin that their face would peel like mad-- but ive experienced nothing of that sort... hmmm is this REALLY working or is it just making it worse... i wash my face three times a day but its not about how clean i am, its about my hormonal teenage issue-->acne. so i can't cure it, i can prevent it though
Bad acne won't go away?
