I'm 22 years old and I'm suffering from severe adult acne. Two days ago, I started to have a breakout, today my skin just went crazy. I have 9 big pimples on my cheeks. One feels like a blister. I've tried AcneFree but it made my skin extremely dry and flakey. It did nothing for my blemishes, which are getting worst. Can anyone help me find something that will treat my acne and my blemishes???
Help me....?
Please go and see your doctor or a skin specialist.

Reply:haha.. I just got done answering another question about acne. Here's what I wrote, and I recommend the same!
hey.. i'm 15, and I had severe acne (had to go on accutane a few times and didn't help..).
And, sounds like you have moderate acne. Proactive SUCKS. i'm dead serious. It burned my face when I went outside to play...... if you're gonna use it, I would wear some serious sunscreen. lol. But, you see.. I was wearin 50 SPF!!!! It damaged my skin...... and dried it out really bad.
So... flash forward to 2 years later. I go to a dermatologist, and she gives me LOADS of creams and pills (not at one time..) I'm talking about differin, retin a, tetracycline, monocycline..... they really do MORE harm than good. Plus, they damage your body making it weak and weak.
Please, don't use those things. I've actually found a cure to my acne.......=)
First, you kinda have to tell me what type of skin you have. Obviously, dry skin needs to be treated differently than oily skin.
I have dry skin, so.... I only wash my face once a day (if I wash any more than that, it peels), and I moisturize with JOJOBA OIL (it's the best thing around. It's actually very good for acne proned skin).
HERE'S WHAT I TAKE. and these supplements are necessary to help with acne. With these alone....they've cleared my face to about....98%. I get the occasional whitehead on my cheek or something... like........ONCE a month. lol
-----your body needs omega 3's. SO, you should buy fish oil, or flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil is NASTY. hehe.... fish oil comes in capsules and works GREAT. I have NORDIC NATURAL'S fish oil capsules (i take it twice a day with orange juice...), and it works nicely. It broke me out really bad for the first 2 weeks (lots of cysts), but after 2 weeks, all was gone.
=)
-taking 30 mg of zinc can help loads!!!!! Please don't take any more than 50 mg, since it has hazardous! lol.
Look up these 2 things............on the internet, and I guarantee you there's studies that link these 2 to acne. People tell you diet has nothing to do with acne, but it's all BULLSHIT. diet has a lot to do with acne.
One of the reasons I had depression was.......because of acne. And I would always go on this board called "acne.org". it's really good actually... ^_^ You can look up products, and there's forums for severe, moderate acne. You just might get ideas there. ^_^
As for face, you can wash with just water (like I do), or use an Alpha Hydroxy something... cleanser. lol. I forget the name.
Natural is better for you in the long run. I wish someone told me about this long time ago. Because......it took me FOREVER to get my skin healthy, and my body healthy again. If you have any more questions, feel free to e-mail me, and maybe I can help you out more if you tell me more about your skin type, age... etc
good luck!
