you should visit a derm and start with anibiotics, both topical and oral, and if that doesn't help you always have the option of isotretinoin.

Im just extremely scared of accutane and roaccutane, i dont know if its worth the risks, the side effects seem pretty severe..

Its worth getting an appointment with a dermatologist, Im sure they can give you some help. I personally wouldnt be considering Accutane, as there are other options out there to try beforehand.

That fact that youre only 16 is a good thing! As there is a chance your hormones are the current cause of the acne, which could well settle down naturally.

i just feel like i will be left with such bad acne scars and marks, it™s been a few weeks since i posted this and some of the massive lumps have gone (like 1 or 2) but i am now left with really dark almost black marks and red marks where it was... as of posting that i just recently also started taking tetralysal 300mg with 408mg lymecycline and was also prescribed duac.

ive been using ever since and has definitely helped, i™ve also gone dairy free since postin. I am determined to eliminate this asap. It™s just weird because i™ve had bad skin forever but in summer i was constantly in the sun working as an outdoor lifeguard and applying sunscreen and my acne nearly vanished... i can include a pic aswell (no filter) to show what my skin was like just 4/5 months ago and now it™s horrible!! 

Thats good youve got some treatments that seem to be working. Good decision to go dairy free as well, thats a very common trigger food for acne.

Its quite often the case that peoples skin is better in the summer, probably due to a number of reasons. Stick with what youre doing as its working, so hopefully you can get on top of it!

okay thank you. the temptation to eat dairy is so overwhelming at times but I know it™s for the best. Thanks for the advice

Hey, my skin is so unbelievably bad, i™m only 16 and I have such bad cystic acne. For about 5 days i haven™t picked/touched/squeezed any of my pimples, about 10 minuites ago I looked at myself in the mirror and I got so sick of seeing all them white heads staring at me (about 10) I just mutilated my face .  

Im so disappointed in myself and nothing seems to work for my acne, while I say œno touching my face I did wash my face with La Roche Posay purifying foaming gel for oily sensitive skin, and after washing applying La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo (+) anti-imperfections corrector, I only got this 3 days ago and altogether cost ‚35. I was previously buying cheap face washes for like ‚5 and done nothing, I have tried tea tree oil, coconut oil, bio oil (yes, I know that™s for scars), apple cider vingar etc. none seemed to work so i decided I would spend a little money on a decent face wash recommended to me by one of the woman in the store working there. 

So no change yet and I know it™s only been 3 days using the face wash but I just couldn™t stand the sight of them white heads staring at me every time I checked the mirror, and I just can™t bear the thought of anyone else looking at me and instantly seeing them. I am so done with acne, I just want to cry. Everyday I wake up and see my face in the mirror and think how bad i look and how red and inflamed my acne is, it makes me physically sick. I just want to hide my ace away from the world so no one else can see it. I get so uncomfortable close up to people, I can™t even look someone in the eye, and when I do to cry few people, I can always see there eyes diverting to the bottom half of my face looking at my terrible acne, getting a look of how inflamed it is and them nasty whitehead™s,  think it™s safe to say my self-esteem is at an all time low. 

Im just wondering does cystic acne turn up with a white head, because I have some pretty damn big white heads with a massive lump underneath them, it™s huge and no matter how much I squeeze at it I can™t seem to get very much gunk/puss out, and i™m left with a massive lump underneath my skin and it starts bleeding, and then it™s all red and inflamed and I literally feel like crying, I don™t know how much longer I can go on with this for, it™s impacting my self-esteem so much and my self worth. Ill include a picture of two or what it was like before i mutilated my face, and what it™s like now after i destroyed it by getting as much puss out as i possibly could. I feel terrible, thank god I got my christmas break today, I couldn™t bare the thought of school tomorrow going in with what will probably be the most inflamed my face has ever been. Woo roll on tomorrow.

you should visit skin doctor and he will put you on accutane . accutane helped me  a lot i had same acne issue my acne was similar to yours acne .try accutane
