How the hell do you get rid of acne????

My dermatologist said there is no correlation between eating chocolate and acne.

Acne is caused by overactive oil glands and something to do with the hair follicles (from what I remember)

There may be a CORRELATION but it may NOT be the CAUSATION

Thank you I'll definitely check it out!!

How long did your dosage of Roaccutane take, to see results? i. e. Clearing of acne.

You probably won't like my solution but try eating vegan, or cutting dairy out. It has worked really well for me, and I don't wake up with a really oily face anymore.
Also if you get an abundance of spots in a particular place, for instance your forehead, google it as it could indicate if something is wrong within your body or if you're not getting enough of a nutrient or something.
But it could be stress as A-levels=stress.

Also do you take antibiotics?

Nope I do not

You can, not over the counter though Easiest way is just to get it prescribed but, given that I train at a "hardcore" gym, know the local steroid dealer (don't use them myself atm) who sells accutane as acne is a common side effect of steroids... yeah, very easy for me to get hold of.

The side effects can be hideous. Dry flakey skin that's sensitive to sunlight and makes you feel like Dracula; scabbed inner nostrils and lips that crack and bleed; severe depression... just some of what I've experienced. However, these side effects happened when the dermatologist put me on 60mg a day. FAR too much and the acne came back.
I tried 30mg a day once I started self prescribing it was still too much for me but might be fine for someone else. 30mg every other day though was mild in terms of side effects and really did the trick.

I use a acne killer face wash regime called ProActive which is good, but in general, always keeping your face clean, not picking at it etc will definitely help.

Proactive is no good.

Sorry for the title but I am so TIRED of acne. I had a flawless face before I started A-Levels and since then it's been absolute hell! And it's getting worse each day! I have a lot of acne on my forehead and chest. Now it has started appearing on my back and moved down my face (at a rapid pace!).

Does anyone have any general remedies that work? Please don't give me the whole "see your doctor acne is specific etc etc" because I have seen my GP and I have creams and lotions, but they just do not work at all. They somewhat reduce the inflammation but more and more spots are appearing! I'm at a point where I look at myself and feel disgusting; I have such a destroyed, acne filled and dead face. It is honestly destroying my confidence and I honestly feel horrid. I eat relatively well and drink plenty of water so I have no idea what the cause might be????

"Self-prescribing"? Are you monitoring your own FBC, LFTs, and Serum lipids too? Roaccutane is a toxic drug and there are good reasons that its prescription is limited to Dermatologists (GPs aren't allowed to prescribe it). You're being reckless with your own body without any understanding of the consequences. Still, I guess you'll be able to treat your own Liver failure when the time comes hey...
