You may need to see a dermatologist to help with your acne problems. There are over the counter products that will work just as well but will take a lot longer.

I have the same problem. Here is what I put on my acne and acne scars: http://www.boots.com/en/Sudocrem-Skin-Care-Cream-30g_1054131/ Don't know if you can order from that site because it's a UK site. Perhaps try searching around the internet from places that sell it in your country. Good luck! :)

Mederma is the best scar cream out there for sure. It even works on old scars that are years old. As for stopping acne-if you are only 17...you might still have to grow out of it. Usually it goes away as you mature.

Listen, I had terrible, terrible terrible blemishes all over my skin for at least 7 years. Finally, I asked my doctor and he put me on this prescription drug called Accutane. It really is a miracle drug, for me my skin is almost completely clear within around 2 months into it. Some say its dangerous, though, but let me tell you that the "more serious" side affects are seriously rare. The only side affects I've had so far are dry lips and skin, and minor back pain. It's clearing my skin so well, its almost completely clear with the exception of one or two pimples here and there. Though, you may experience joint pain, back pain, dry lips & skin, theres no reason to back out though. Theres a chance that you'll NEVER have acne again! Though its a bumpy ride; by all means go for it. You'll have to take blood tests every month (To make sure your liver is OK and your blood levels) For this reason, its bad on your liver. This is a reason you cannot drink alcohol while taking it. You take it for 6 months, and if your skin isn't clear by then, then you take it for another 2 months. Some people have to take 2 rounds, but that is ok. You CANNOT get pregnant while taking this drug (it states this clearly on the 3 warning booklets that come with your prescription). It comes in 3 forms, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg. Your doctor will prescribe the amount based on your weight and age. If you do take it, and you experience bad back pain, talk to your doctor about lowering your dose. Furthermore, Accutane had tons of Vitamin A in it, and you cannot take Vitamin A tablets on it, as it will increase your chance for side affects. Its fading the scars I had quite nicely. P.S: Some people will try and tell you that "its poison"and you shouldnt take it because of the side affects. These are the horror stories, and ARE NOT true. Some tips for caring for your skin: 1. Keep the hair out of your face. Your hair has oils and gunk in it that clogs your pores, increasing acne/blemishes. 2. Follow the 3 step regimen: Cleanser, Acne treatment, and moisturizer. (3 different brands if you wish.) The cleanser opens your pores (You can use Clean&Clear's "Black head Remover scrub if you wish), the Acne Treatment (Such as any Clean&Clear acne remover) helps get rid of the acne, and the moisturizer helps moisturize your skin from the harsh affects from the treatment. 3. DO NOT use any harsh soaps, or cleansers. If you can, only choose ones that say "Sensitive skin". They reduce chances of skin irritation. 4. Steam from showers or hot cloths help open pores. 5. Don't pick at your face! It irritates it further. 6. Do not pop pimples! It pushes the bacteria deeper into your skin and leaves scars. 7. DO NOT believe the "toothpaste" remedy. It does not work. 8. Wash your face in a pattern; once in the morning and once at night, 9. And wash your face after exercising, as the oils and sweat clog your pores as well. 10. Avoid stress related things, its linked to acne as well. Hope I helped, sweetie! (: Don't let the pimples get you down.
