I think I have cystic acne, what can I do {Kind of long, plz read}?
I have been having bad acne for 9 yrs, Im 17 yrs old and its really bad. The bumps on my face get really big and they are very painful. I have tried everything you can think of in the stores for acne. Some of the medications only work for a while and then my acne just comes back and gets worse. I get really big bumps around my nose and my chin. I have some right now and they are big and painful. These bumps burn when I try to put acne medication on them. The bleed and sometimes they are really red and embarrassing. I wash my face and use everything. Ive tried proactive, witch hazel nitrogen and everything you name it and it doesn't work. Ive been to the dermatologist and she gave me medicine but it worked for a while and the acne just got worse, she told me that my face got used to the medicine and that's why the medicine stopped working. She gave me some new medicine and it doesn't work its pill and lotion. I can only go to the dermatologist 2 times a year and I cant pay for high priced medicine. I have been getting teased since elementary school and now school is about to start back and Im a senior and I don't want to be made fun of this year. People call me zit face and pimple face, Ive cried sometimes because of that, some people treat me like I have a disease.

I have ance pretty bad, but I use benyzol stuff to dry it up. I honestly don't think you should worry about the people who make fun of you, fuck em. Real friends don't care if you have a ance problem. Make up helps cover it but it can make it a lot worse if you don't wash it off. Just make sure you wash your face before bed n when u wake, and make sure all your hair is out of your face. And don't stress so much either, I tend to do tht n my ance gets a lot worse, but I just chill out n go with it n say fuck it. I got a sexy man who loves me for me even my gross pimples. Hah

I used the 3 step system that clinique has. My acne wasn't THAT bad but I had it since I was around 12. I have very oily skin and the 3 step system worked pretty well. I hear that estrogen flow in your body is really good for acne. I have a theory that it will help clear your skin. One doctor recommended taking birth control pills for acne to help the skin, but that's an alernative treatmeant if you want to look into it. For now, speak to a represenatative at clinique to help you. They're affordable and they really know their stuff!
