Quit drinking soda and eating lots of sugar, and your acne will go away more quickly than with any medication.

get a generic face wash, tons of brands out there, they all have the same active ingridients so it basically boils down to that they're all the same anyway.
if i were you, go to a dermatologist, they can give you a prescription for a cream that you can put on every night to get rid of the acne.
find a toner in a drug store, they're just like a face wash, generic.
and if you really want to prevent it, try to not eat terribley all the time.
i started only drinking water, which i hve been doing for months. i mean i drink soda, mabye fruit punch every now and then, but i basically only drink water with my meals.
and wash your face throughout the day. if you're in school, mabye during your lunch period or during the middle of the day just go to the bathroom and wash your face with some hot water.

you shouldnt be doing that anyway, i know it doesnt seem like a concern now, but once you get older you'll regret your old eating habits. its not worth it, you feel better eating healthy anyway.

Umm im pretty sure you will still have acne...............
Wash your face better, get all the oil and dirt and stuff off of your face so it can't clog up the pores...
Or use that proactive stuff it works but I don't use it cause you gotta do like 3 different steps everytime u use it

I doubt he needs Accutane. Thats pretty much the strongest stuff on the market, requires blood testing, etc.
For now it sounds like you need to just keep your poures cleaned and get a topical cream. If it gets worse than you can look into an antiobiotic.. If it stills worse THEN you might consider accutane

Tell you what you should do. Get some face wash. the type you can use in the shower that isn't gonna rape your face and leave you all dry. Try to slow down on the sugar and wash regularly. The females love a clean face. You might be big and strong but if your face looks like a pizza than they won't want to get close to you. Shower regularly thats all it takes...that is unless you have some much more severe than definately hit up your dermatologist. Ive never been to one. I would suggest not going to one unless you have a major ordeal out of it.

Hate to say it, but not really true. I've seen tons of kids with pretty bad pizza faces hit it big with the ladies in my school. Mainly football players and kids in bands

Proactive works but then about after a month, it stops and ur acne will come back...so if u want ur acne to go away for short periods of time like maybe prom or somthing go ahead, but ur face gets use to the same kind of acne cleaning stuff after a little bit, so u have to keep getting new products and then maybe u can rotate using them....takes alot of work i know.
I went to the dermatologist how ever its spelled. He said its not from eating alot of sugars and stuff but i think it is...but my friend who has worse acne than me eats tons of sugar and i think the only thing he drinks is Mountain Dew so who knows really....but like they say listen to the professionals
Keep your face clean and dry, no sweat no dirt and no oil. Thats all i try to do, its almost to get every last acne off a teens body but the big ones do stuck lol.
