How can I get rid of my cystic acne?
I've benne having bad acne since I was 9 yrs old. The doctors told me I have bad acne, but none of them medication they give me works. Or my insurance won't pay for it. I've tried everything in the stores. I can't get accutane. I've been getting made fun of because my acne is bad. The pimples are huge and painful and they leave dark scars that look ugly. They bleed too. I've tried Pro active, clinique, neutrogena and everything. This acne makes me self conscious and asha,ed to talk to people and kids make fun of me

A snippet from the article:
Along with hormones, diet, and bacteria, stress has been attributed to acne breakouts. It is believed that stress causes the immune system to become weakened, making the body more vulnerable to breakouts and flare-ups. It is not sure, however, whether stress causes acne, or if it just makes the condition worse when present.
But in the end, it mentions a holistic approach to treating the acne, holistic means using all means possible to treat all areas of the person, not just medically by Drs with medications or dermatogy treatments, but treating from the inside too, including ones diet and also the emotions...where stress would come in.
So I have no easy 1 step answer for you. I know you'll be dedicated to try anything that might remotely help. I have my own personal belief from some scientific articles I have read that the world we live in being so toxic, our bodies can't handle all the toxins in it and that causes problems with how your body is supposed to normally function, problems internally. That which we don't need is excreted through our skin and sweat glands and through bladder and intestines but toxins can build up and not be so easily gotten rid of. I believe thats why so many have skin problems today...not to the extent you have. I would suggest you read up on hidden toxins in our environment, that which we breath in, take in as nourishment or apply to our skin. A great majority of what we apply to our skin has ingredients that we cannot pronounce let alone spell and if you look it up and can discover what it is and the effects it has on the human body or has had on test animals, you'd see you have reason to watch closely what you apply to your skin. Even something labeled "natural" or "for acne" may not be good for you.

Since a main problem is extreme amount of bacteria on the skin creating the problem, natural anti bacterials can help and have no side affects like pharmaceutical remedies.

Of the four listed, My top favorite is tea tree oil as a topical anti bacterial. Garlic is good too. You can find tea tree oil and many other natural remedies at health food stores, some large food chains have a natural food and natural skin care product section. Everyone is different so if one natural anti bacterial doesn't work, try another. You might add eating foods or taking supplements that act as natural anti bacterials and are good for aiding helping the skin. Check out the natural health stores in your location. Some major chains are Whole Foods, Sprouts, or check out this link to listings of natural health stores for us and canada and other places around the world.
