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 18 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 tried EVERY acne product you can name. I've been to the dermatologist and they give me medication but my face just gets worse after a couple of months.
My acne kind of looks like this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

How can I get rid of this? How much will it cost?

Hi :)
Have you asked your dermatologist if there was a person specialized in the condition that you have? Maybe if you do that the person you're directed to will be able to give you something your skin will never get used to (as in, something that rotates creams or medications every couple of weeks/months) I feel dumb suggesting this, I think you might have already thought of it but if you haven't then there you go :)
As for people making fun of you? They are pieces of s*** that need to go somewhere because they have the low enough self esteem to put you down for something that you have tried to control. Trust me, by/after college, maybe only one real friend (maybe not even) that you have now will still be your friend at the time. They're just low lives. Remember that every time they try to make fun of you again.
I hope I told you something you didn't know!
Good luck !!!
