So, im 15 and have had acne since age 11. Its been a huge struggle for me and i have practically no self confidence at all. I have even started home school because i dont want anyone from my school seeing me. I just really want my acne gone. I have tried almost over the counter treatment. I also went to the dermatologist about a year ago and was perscribed clindamycin phosphate lotion which did absolutely nothing. I am going back to the dermatologist in 2 days and i wanted to know what oral medication i should ask for. Im hoping for it to be improved in about three months. Also my acne is moderate.

Maybe a retinoids and another anti inflammatory med (bp). Try to stay away from antibiotics (oral)
