Hi everyone.  I'm new here so sorry if I put this in the wrong area. I just really need help...

So I've had my acne since 2011. Started on my forehead and went to my cheeks and chin and jaw and under jaw to neck. I pick at my skin cause I just want it gone and I know it's there so I mess with it. I have no insurance or a job so it's very hard for me to afford new products and get on Accutane. I'm starting to think my acne is a hormonal problem because it only gets better on my period. I have no clue what to do anymore. I'm very depressed and don't want to go outside anymore. I'm 19 and a girl btw 🙁 

I put some pictures in of what it looks like. Some scars are really dark and light. My acne is like red bumps and whiteheads at times. My face tends to itch a lot at random times as well. IMAG0069_1.jpgIMAG0073_1.jpgIMAG0072.jpg

I'm 24 and my acne has the same distribution as yours. This is most likely hormonal acne, which tends to occur along the chin/jaw/neck area. As a teenager I've been on accutance but I've been under a lot of work related stress which is why my acne has flared up. Try and get regular exercise. I've heard primrose oil is effective for hormonal acne!

Figure out if you have any food triggers.

I agree with holdingontohope, I would try to change diet. I dount know what do you eat, but I can recommend gluten free and stop eating fatty food. That helped me, I used to have acne at same areas. {mod edit}
