What to do with acne?

Dermatologists Help..or anyone thats had acne.I dont know what to do?

• Hey I am an 18 year old guy, I have been dealing with acne most of my teen years, since I was 12, It started off with little bummps and just gradually got noticably worse, I have been on antibiotics for acne since I was 14, many different creams,lotions soaps etc, nothing seems to be working. My skin has cleared up a little since my early teens, but still it is bad, and i feel i have some scars . I have quite bumpy skin and lumpy skin if that makes sense. The antibiotic has definitely worked, but from my last blood test, my doc didnt like what she seen and is gradually weaning me of them as I am showing liver problem signs. I find the best regimen for me is to was my face 3 times a day with soap with dead sea minerals and to use a dead sea cream, it seamingly just really helps my skin quality a lot, but im still just not happy with my skin. My skin is still full of acne and its not clear, and im coming to a last thether with my skin, I feel very insecure about it, and it makes me feel really ugly. Im trying to figure out, what would be my next best move to clear myself of acne. I will do anything and pay anything, Im currently paying 60$ a month on medication and 300$ a year on creams and i still have acne and problems. I think my diet is very good, I drink 2 litres of water a day, I eat healthy foods, but i hear milk and cheese and chocolate are bad things, 3 things i do eat, not obseseivly, but i take small amounts of it, like a glass of milk a day and a chocolate bar. is this bad. What am I doing wrong, why do I still have such bad acne while doing everything that seems right, i feel im cursed with ugliness with my skin. I really hope a dermatoligist reads this, I will be going to one soon, but i like to get more than one opinion, what is the best option to get rid of this?? I have some photos of my skin a few mins ago below, http://oi41.tinypic.com/2f0byw4.jpg this is of my cheeck, so you can see its very red and has some small black heads http://oi40.tinypic.com/64ed5i.jpg http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=21j25xl&s=5 this is my nose, it has a blackhead problem, and i dunno how to fix that http://oi39.tinypic.com/1zezfig.jpg my forehead isnt so bad, but its got stuff too :S http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zx2wwl&s=5 redness of my skin I hope someoen can help me out, just wish I didnt have acne, and wish i could just sort it out Please copy the http//.... and paste into the browser to see the photos

  Hey man, Don't give up - you can totally get rid of your acne. I'm not a dermatologist, but what worked for me was focusing 80% of my efforts on eating healthy. I don't know what you are eating, but you have to KNOW it's healthy. It's not just about cutting out the stereotypical things like cheese and chocolate (although that is a good idea). My guess is you have some toxic building which is causing your breakouts from the inside no matter what you do. The best thing you could probably do now is to continually fill your system with a lot of raw fruits and vegetables which will purify your system and try to take some EFA supplements; these will normalize your hormones and therefore reduce oil production in your skin. If you can get some, please try some tea tree oil as a topical treatment as well; that will heal up breakouts faster than you can imagine, I promise! Let me be honest with you: commercial treatments for the most part a waste of money, as I'm sure you've figured out by now. Holistic healing is the best way to go by far.
