You could try one of the many over the counter cleanser/degreasers, most are based on peroxide, Panoxyl is a typical example. If this fails the next step is to see your GP for topical or oral antibiotics. Avoid tetracycline and oxytetracyline as they are awkward to take and not very effective, minocycline or lymecycline are better.

GP for more years than I care to remember

There's a good acne spray in walgreens it's called natures cure its for sports and stuff I really like it.. Also I went on roacctuate which is pretty much the English version of accutane. It seriously works beyond belief! Ask your doctor :)

Hello, I'm a doctor. Use accutane. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://ansusmd19.notlong.com/2AA2px8

Acutane was the only thing that helped me..if it's as bad as you say treatments from Wal greens and such probably won't help you. See a dermatologist there are options

Wash your face twice a day with warm water and a good face wash.
You can buy good face washes just about anywhere, they're not too exspensive.
I recommend a wash with salicylic acid. It will work just fine with less irritation.
* Benzoyl Peroxide is also effective at treating acne, but in my experience it causes a lot of dryness and redness.

After you wash, make sure you moisturize your skin within 5 minutes.
* It's important to use a non-comedogenic lotion. These kind of lotions do not irritate the skin.
* Keeping your face moisturized will reduce dryness and your face will be less oily. It's very important.

Never touch your face or pop your pimples. Popping them will only make them worse, and they'll spread.
- If you must pop them, wipe your face immediately after with alcohol. This will kill the bacteria so they won't spread.
* Alcohol will dry your face out really fast so I wouldn't do this very often.

*Lemon Juice is used as a homeopathic treatment for acne. Lemon juice also contains one of the AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids and can be used to slough off dead skin, promoting skin elasticity, and enabling new skin cell growth rise from underneath.

Keep your pillow cases clean. Wash them often. Once a week if possible.

This isn't a one time thing, you have to continue this over time to see a difference. Once you get in the routine it will become natural and your face will be flawless!
