I'm 16 years old, had acne since I was 11. Constantly been trying to treat it for 5 years, generally started on my forehead however now it's moved to my cheeks and has remained there four around half a year.
I generally have oily skin however can get dry on my nose occasionally, I will list everything I've tried and please suggest what is next!
-Benzac prescription from doctor didn't work.
-Have been on dianette for 6 months, haven't seen any improvement.
-Cleanse gently, tone using botanics rosewater toner, moisturise and apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% is my current skincare routine however acne is still persistent.
-Haven't eaten chocolate, sweets, cake, biscuits for 2 months.
-Drink lemon water twice daily.
-Wear makeup twice a week, clinique anti blemish foundation.
-Fairly active.
-Take zinc tablets, calcium and vitamin D tablets.
-Constantly change my pillow cases
WHAT NOW!? I'm relatively stressed however surely this can't have caused my acne for such a long time and left me with so many scars.
Please help!
Dairy? A trigger for many. Ditch it 100% for a month and see what happens. Are you seeing a dermatologist?
Haven't heard of that but thank you for the suggestion definitely will try, and no, I don't feel as if I should have to you know what I mean, surely the doctors have the same treatments? I've been to the doctor countless times.
Find a derm that will give you low dose accutane.

See a dermatologist. They know what they are doing.
They cured my acne but i got high potassium in the process. However, i am still using retin A . It is amazing helps with acne all over your body and gets rid of blackheads. Worth a shot.
