Any ideas on what I should do? Water only method has not done anything in the past 2 months. My dad says dermatologists are too expensive.

It doesn't look that bad man, its mostly just redness. When did you start getting pimples?

About 2 years ago. At first it wasn't that bad but it has gotten progressively worse.

Alright, well since you can't go to a dermatologist I suggest you stop the "water only" treatment.. Get a mild facial cleanser, one that doesn't irritate your skin. Whatever you do though, don't get cetaphil.

 

Besides that you could buy a non comedogenic moisturizer and apply it to your face after washing as part of a cleansing routine.

I was doing that for about a year and it left my skin really tight and irritated. Most moisturizers leave my skin looking very very shiny or they flake off later in the day.

What's your diet like? I've found that dairy is the devil! Try cutting out all dairy for a few weeks to see what happens.

Yeah I eat quite a lot of dairy products now that I think about it. I will probably try this for a few weeks to see what happens.

I think most of my skin is just redness and irritated/inflamed. I have so many red spots on my cheeks and to the left and right of my nose it's just red patches. is this hyperpigmentation?

depends, redness could be caused by irritation from harsh creams/washes
