I have almost tried everything for my persistent acne only on my forehead. I'm 19 year old girl,(also on bc pills)I've seen 4 different dermatologist and have tried differin-which burned my face, tazorac-which made my acne a lot worse for 4 months, ziana and minocycline- which worked very temporarily and did not defeat the acne, I stopped using the antibiotic because I was taking it for almost 2 years. Aczone-which made my skin scaly. I am now using tretinion .025% at night. It does help smooth out the bumps, but it's not getting rid of my acne. I struggle with a bunch of closed comedones on my forehead and blackheads. If I'm clear in the morning, it won't last and I'll have a bunch of bumps later. I also get bigger whiteheads, probably at least 2-5 at a time. I only have under the skin blackheads/clogged pores on my chin, along with blackheads on my nose. I've struggled with acne on my forehead for 4, almost 5 years. I now have post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. Please help me I'm at my ends with this! I can't do this anymore!

Use acne treatment every other day, they'll work better
apply buttermilk on face like mask(gentle bleach) every 2 days
apply fresh fruit on face like tomatoes, apples, strawberry, grapes, cucumbers
(gentle bleach) apply everyday
drink herbal teas to heal and prevent future acne(don't use with drugs)
honeybrush, milk thistle, nettle, burdock, mint, echinacea, dandelion, calendula
always finish washing face with cold water
