I have bad acne. Iv had it since 5th grade and Im now in 11th. Im 16 and a felmale. I have proactive, but doesnt work. Is there anything I can buy/do to help clear my face up? Anything I can stop eating/drinking that might help. I LOVE Pizza and I do drink to much pop, is the pop doing it? Any ideas are welcomed!.. But I dont want anything stupid like put toothpaste on it. I have acne, not just pimples. Thanks!! =] (link)

i had the exact same problem!
its not what you eat or drink ( i go to a dermatologist and he said that doesnt cause it )
i quit drinking soda awhile ago for a diet regimen, and ive noticed nothing. my acne actually got worse over time.
when your face gets this bad you need to ask your dermatologist about levulan kerastick + bluelight illumination. the levulan kerastick is a chemical medicine they will rub on your face and than you sit under this bluelight for 17-20 minutes and it activates the chemicals. this is the 8 week process i am currently going through:
week 1- sit w/ levulan kerastick on face for 1 hour, sit under light
week 2- go twice a week to sit under light ONLY
week 3- go twice a week to sit under light only
week 4- sit w/ levulan kerastick on face for 2 hours, sit under light
week 5- go twice a week to sit under light only
week 6- go twice a week to sit under light only
week 7- sit w/ levulan kerastick on face for 3 hours, sit under light
week 8- go twice a week to sit under light
i am currently on my 5th week and i PROMISE you wont regret it. my face is so clear it is really amazing. the levulan kerastick will dry up your face tremendously. and it will PEEL LIKE CRAZY. it kind of made me miserable while i was in school because i felt ugly, but trust me, its worth it. and if you dont fix your acne soon it will leave scars!
your dermatologist will tell you more about it if you go and ask them about it!
i really hope you take it into consideration!
well, the whole process is like $800.
i know its really expensive but it is really worth every penny if you have it.
