acne.

how old are you 15/16? your going to get oily skin so its going to be impossible to get rid of all spots but when i was 15 (im 19 now) it bothered me too so go see a doctor and they'll prescribe you some tablets to work internally and slow down the amount of oil being produced which causes the spots, and a topical cream which reduces the inflammation of the spots. the type of tablets/cream will depend on how severe the acne is. luckily i responsed quickly and it had all cleared up in 6 months for my prom, but i think the doctor said standard time is a year. don't get too worked up about it though, most people going through puberty get some spots, if they didn't they're lucky!

i had an alergic reaction that kicked off all these spots and they gave me summit like that

you're probably getting stress spots
don't worry too much over things

na didnt go to the doctors, app it causes mad mood swings

mehh well i had real bad red patches under my nose and on it, and a few spots on my chin and i went on it and it was the best thing i've ever done
like two months down the line and i've completely clear skin.. this was when i wasn't on the pill either so that couldn't of helped.
i had no bad reactions to it UNLESS i ate after i took it, made me feel a bit ill but i just took them after every meal
i really recommend going on it if it's annoying you that much

Have you tried roacutane or oral steroids?

have you gone doctors and all?

my friend had it really bad for years but the doctors would only prescribe the 'next thing up' everytime untill he was at the top. he said it was like burning his face but within a couple of months his face was totally fine. proper weird considering his face was unfortunately bad for ages

I agree with this. Science has come along way with treatments of acne and doctors do take it seriously now..

I'll probably book an appointment after the new year.

This is really annoying. It's actually depressing me now. I keep getting spots even though I regularly wash my face, drink water, eat well. Gah and apparently the doctors prescription takes like 3-4 months to see results. My prom is on Feb 20th :[

Longer hair can cause acne, hair is naturally more greasy for teenagers (even if you washed it twice a day rather than once a day) - shorter hair usually helps. Do you have long hair or short hair?
