It's not severe. I would call it moderate.

Hi there,
You're skin doesn't look that bad to me, in fact it is WAY better than mine I am currently washing my face with CeraVe foaming face wash for normal to oily skin. It is super gentle and it really helping my skin heal after a horrible cystic acne break out. As for medication, I just use Paula's choice 2.5 benzoyl peroxide and occasionally her 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I've also been drinking tons of green tea, which seems to be helping.

Yes, I would call it moderate as well. You must feel bad and trust me, I know how it feels. Although I don't think that it's as bad as you say it is. I've seen so much worse!

Try cutting out dairy, sugar, and increasing ur water consumption....also try making fresh juices daily....give it some time and it should help alittle.
