Don't use accutane; sorry Saywat. This is a really strong drug, which is just high doses of vitamin A, but it can be severally damaging. They say it is safe, but if a woman is pregnant just one dose can cause birth defects like brain damage and heart problems in a young baby. My doctor prescribed this to me, and after enough research, I said no way.
So I went to an herbalist. She did a series of test and prescribed me a remedy called HZ - Chord; unfortunately you can't really find it on the internet because it's all natural ingradients. The drug companies want their money, so they don't want you investing in herbal medicine because they will not get it this way. You hear about all these recalls on old drugs, which, after years of people using them, turn out to do more harm than good, and in extreme cases, kill a patient. Just like the new studies done on children cough medicine. They found out that it doesn't really do anything for children under six, and hasn't even been tested on them. I read this in Discover magazine, so I trust what they are saying. It was also on the news. In today's world, it's all about the money - not the health.
So anyway, it's been a month since I started on the HZ - Chord, and I can tell you, it's amzing. I feel great. I can wake up in the morning before my alarm clock, roll out of bed, and not even feel the slightest bit tired. I'm awake all day and able to concentrate on my school work. Before this I was really miserable and my eyes were always heavy, I couldn't concentrate and could hardly function without at least nine hours sleep a night. My whole life has been turned around. Hey, I'm on Yahoo Answers! That has to say something. Usually I do not type long answers (haha sorry ... lots of reading now!) I would go on occasionally and get tired of it, so I'd go and lay down or something. I'm jsut so motivated, I don't know what to do with myself. But, again, anyway...
What this has to do with acne. In addition to "clogged pores" which people believe caused acne, there is also a deeper problem to the cause. It's your liver. Now, don't do all these crazy "liver cleanses" these crazy herb people will tell you about - the liver does not hold toxins, it only filter them. The rest go into your blood stream. This is why when people drink to much alcohol they get drunk, and often wake up sick and with a headache. The alcohol goes through their digestive system and, like everything else, is filtered through the liver. When the liver gets too overworked, the toxins that do not get filtered enter the bloodstream. This causes the headache and sickness, all these things floating around in your body. I learned this in Driver's Ed, not from the herbalist, which made me believe everything more. They weren't trying to sell me anything, so I believe they're right. Plus, if they say it and the other peron did too, there might be something there.
When your liver gets too stressed, the extra "toxins" you consume enter your bloodstream. It them comes up through your skin; usually skin problems can be linked back to the liver. So, basically, you are what you eat. And you may even eat healthy - but all those meats and fruits are packed with pesticides and hormones, which, well ... you see where I'm going.
In short, toxins = acne.
The medicine I am on helps my liver. I have horrible acne too, especially on my back. It has already cleared my face; I no longer have any acne there. My back is getting better too, but I understand it will take more time because it is so bad.
The best thing to do is to try and eat organic foods, or just watch what you eat in general. All these products the stores try to sell won't usually work, they never did for me. And I tried almost everything. It was horrible, and now I'm left with the scars from it.
Trust me, this stuff helps. I can't even imagine what I would be doing without it. If you can try and check out natural medicine. It works wonders.
Good luck!
And, hehehe ... hope you had fun reading :) This is the longest answer I have ever wrote. Sorry to strain the brain.
Accutane see a dermatoligist for this drug.
Medicated products that contain benzoic acid or salicylic acid definitely help, but they can only do so much.
Also wash your face with antibacterial soap (they also make moisturizing varieties) and STOP touching your face, that only puts more bacteria on it. I fould that I prefer plain ol' soap to acne washes because they're not as drying and they smell nicer, but that's just personal preference.
I also found that steam helps a lot...boil some water, take it off the burner, then drape a towel over your head (to hold in the steam). As a bonus it clears out your sinuses.
Some acne is from rosacea or other skin diseases, so if it persists you should see a dermatologist.
