Because I am not the only person in TFP-land with it... post when you need answers to your epidermal infirmity.

:Gripe: I am fed up with my acne becuase I have had it since I was 12-years-old. I have used every non-prescription wash from Dawn dishwashing liquid to Proactive and Dermafina. Great wastes of money those last were. I have taken every prescription medicine from minocycline to Acutane--the worst medicine ever created because I had every side-effect! except DEATH and CLEARING OF ACNE! And best of all it is getting worse with the coming summer.

I need something to clear it FAST.

The only things that really work would be my combination of a dishwashing soap then a milk-based soap followed by a moisturizer if the day is cold or dry. I am fed up with constantly washing and watching what I eat. Don't bother saying, "Eating isn't a factor of your acne," because I know from experience, it is. And if you think washing less will help--done that and the acne just flares when not washed. I persisted with this theory because it might calm when not agitated, but it became unbearable.

If you need the gory details I'll share them. I haven't a camera to take a photo of what it looks like, even then I would be hesitant, because it gets bad. I am not talking about "oh no a pimple on my nose" bad, I mean large quarter-sized cancerous lumps on my forehead. I am not exaggerating at all.

Because it has been hopeless in the past but I may get something new here, any suggestions?

Let's give a thanks to the moderators of TFP. I am an idiot at times but with the help of some understanding moderators, this thread is where it belongs.
