Acne getting worse

Have you tried eliminating dairy from your diet? I don't suffer from acne but a lot of videos on Youtube I've seen recommend to stop eating dairy and that helped them.
You could try it seeing as it won't cost you anything

I hope it gets better for you! Also just saw your location is Liverpool, I go to uni there haha! (:

I was just seeking some help. I currently have lots of forehead bumps, a couple of whiteheads on my cheeks and red marks where spots have disappeared.

I'm using Neutrogena Visibly clear cleanser, followed by their oil free moisturizer, and a couple of times a week I use their exfoliator. I tAke Lymecycline tablets prescribed by the doctor however my acne is getting a lot worse.

Can anyone help me to improve my skin? Thanks

How long have you been on lymecycline for? It can sometimes take 2-3 months to work, and it must be taken every single day without missing a dose. Have you tried other skin application products like Duac Gel (contains benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin) or Zineryt lotion (contains zinc acetate and erythromycin)? When I was prescribed lymecycline, my GP also prescribed Zineryt lotion for me.

And what if I don't find something that works?
Impossible not to worry about it when if I leave the house without make up on I get stared at and get comments, and if I leave the house with make up on I get told by friends and family my make up looks bad as it doesn't match my skin tone and the spots are still visible anyway, just gross bumps under paint.

I appreciate you trying to make me feel better but you can't, I look in the mirror and feel physically sick.

youre gonna make such a top dog pharmacist flippin hell!

hows tings goin for yeh btw:?

Haha, I only really know that stuff because I have had experience of using those combinations!

Yeah, things are going okay, could be better. Got an MCQ exam worth 20% of the year on the 7th Jan, for which I've done practically no work over the holidays

Luckily I did a lot of work before hand, so hopefully it'll come back to me in the exam, given it's only MCQs.

How about you? How have your holidays been / do you have exams in January?

Go to your gp and Say can you refer me to a dermatologist I want to try roaccutane. the 1st of january makes it a month since I came off roaccutane. Ive just been through it all and my skin was like how you have described. It was the best decision I ever made, it was a long process but so worth it. Dont listen to anyone saying its not bad, its how it effects you, you have to live with it. It saved my life, I was depressed I was on the verge of a break down. I am so much happier. Good luck. I went to my gp almost in tears and he got a second opinion and then I got referred. It takes months just for the initial appointment but stick with it.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. When I drank loads of water each day I broke out in spots galore around my chin- probably something to do with the flouride

If i don't exfoliate every 2-4 days then all the red marks remain more visible on my face which is red enough anyways

Im going to go and see my GP again and go back to basics by just using a cleanser?? Im currently using neutrogena visiby clear cleanser the orange one which ive used for ages and its done ok. But if there are any better out there i am willing to try. Once again thank you

Make up looks disgusting on me, there is no foundation shade light enough for me. I recently ordered white foundation to mix with the foundations I have to make them lighter but even still, my face still looks disgusting with foundation on it, you can still see all the spots just with paint on them, almost makes it worse.

thanks but it;s not getting any better, I have this face it's disgusting and I have to live with it.
