Hello I'm 20 years old I still get breakouts before period so my dermatologist gave me glytone salicylic acid which seems like it's not working well and I've been on so many antibiotics that it doesn't work

Antibiotics, especially in long-term use, are damaging your immune system, making it harder for your body to fight the acne causing bacteria and the inflammation. Have you heard about blue light therapy? It's proven to be very effective for killing acne-causing bacteria and is natural and side-effect free. Blue light therapy targets the sebaceous glands, and not the surrounding tissues, killing the bacteria that cause acne. Many patients see significant improvement in their acne after two to four weekly treatment sessions of blue light therapy.

I would combine this of course with healthy nutrition and cleaning using the "oil cleansing method".

Yourstruly313, it looks more like post acne marks than active acne.

do some reading on post acne marks and vitamins which promote skin healing.

for the longest time, i myself knew nothing about post acne marks.

depending on how you treat it, post acne marks can last a from a few months to a few years.

there is lots of info on post acne marks. 2 things worth noting is that sunlight (sunbathing) andbenzoyl peroxide cream can prolong acne marks.
