i have acne prone skin, especially on my forehead and cheeks. i went to the dermatologist and got medication to put on at night and was told to wash my face morning and night with a mild cleanser...i did and my skin started to look great..SO much less acne...but suddenly one day ALL the acne came back (not even kidding..it was literally a day it took)...i'm doing all the same things to my skin so i don't understand what's wrong. any tips?

If you're going back to your dermatologist, ask them about it, because they probably know a lot more than I do, but yeah, what you eat is important to avoid breakouts.

if your a boy.. well just keep washing you face day and night and it helps taking a shower everyday, because skin can apparently become oily in like half a day which sucks.. and if all that doesnt help maybe go see your doc. again
good luck!
