Ok, I take after my father, who had really bad acne as a teenager and even into his early 20s. Though I just dont wanna wait until Im 21 or 22 for it to die down. I've been using a "Daily Face Cleanser" for a while and it really doesn't appear to help in the least, so yesturday I goto the doctor and get some Acne medication, "Doxycycline" I take a 100mg capsule once a day. I also bought some "Zapzyt" bar non-soap soap, its basically acne medication in the form of a bar you use in the shower. I'm trying hard because I have facial acne, which is pretty bad, and backne, which is acne on the back, which is really pretty bad.
Has anyone had, or still has, this problem? What did you use to remedy it? And what are maybe some techniques I can use to clear up my skin?
Thanks in Advanced,
Are you in your teens ?
Acne can linger on till your forties or fifties unless aggressively treated. Scarring is a major worry !
Oral doses of minocin, triple tetracycline, etc can help but the ttreatment is long term.
A crumb of comfort, now I am almost fifty, I have no lines or wrinkles and my skin is better than most of my contemporaries who rerally look "their age".
I would see a dermatologist forthwith....
