Hmm well 'least it's meant to work, isn't it a a bit of hastle being on it being a girl though? You have to take pregnancy tests monthly, sign a load of stuff and use double contraception etc from what I've read? Cause it causes birth defects or something.

jfc. drugs aren't gonna help you. you have to find out the underlying cause and treat it rather than go through all that. your skin is an indication of your overall health, you could be allergic to something or have some nasty toxins in you. i probably can't understand as i've never went through an acne stage, most the males in my family have so i can see how it's genetic but drugs should be a very last resort to you. the effects aren't worth it. find out the cause of it first, your body is mostly self-cleansing, if your diet is as clean as you say you shouldn't have too much problems but if you do you might be unbalanced in some areas or have allergies that you need checked. otherwise it WILL go away, idk your diet but you're probably eating too much/too little that's causing it. i know for me dairy products clog my pores. also stress aswell can cause outbreaks.
sorry i am so anti-drug it aint even funny. i refuse to get injections if i can help it and never go the doctors or use over the counter stuff to treat myself. i don't believe in it at all. all the pollution in the air is ****** too so no-ones gonna have perfect skin anyway without the use of chemicals. (ps still stand by the no moisturiser or face cream. oh and water is not all that great for overall health. you get enough from your food..)

Aside from the obvious response, go to the doctor and get some drugs, there's some other stuff you can do as well. Try not to touch your face if you can avoid it, ie don't lean on your hands. Sounds obvious but really, avoid it.

Also another tip which I'm surprised no one has mentioned; sleep with a clean towel over your pillow at night. This means every night with no exceptions, replacing the towel with a clean one, as in fresh out the washing machine clean. Just drape it over your pillow before you go to sleep. I suppose the reasoning behind this is that most people sleep on the same pillow case for long periods of time depending on how often they change their sheets etc, so there's bound to be a lot of grease and skin etc from your face on it built up. The clean towel obviously isn't covered in the same crap as your sweaty old pillow case so you're better off. I've heard a lot of good things about this towel method from various different people, so you might as well give it a go.

I always use Clearasil, and it gets rid of my spots within a week.

If you look at any individual spot it'll likely be gone within a week by itself, enjoy your placebo.

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 :[

Well it could be well on the way by then. Do keep drinking plenty of liquids and have as healthier diet as you can cope with. See what happens. Don't despair yet.

Hi, Well in march i would have had my acne for two years, ive been through every single medication possible and all herbal remidies, ive spoken to a dermotologist who has said that its not just foods or diets that you can get acne from, for example, the washing powder you use to wash you clothing in, which can be caused to give an reaction on the face as of little red dots. they have finally told me mine are just my age and that also the cleaning product my school was using to clean there tables with was not helping either beacuse i was touching the tables then touching my face. the things i can suggest is keep to an routine, wash twice daily once in the moring and once at night, also try to purchase an facial wash without perfumes or no colours, my doctor recomends Simple and Witch products, also purchase an purfying cleansing lotion, i dont temp work at sainsburys and there doing the simple facial wash and purfying cleansing lotion for 4 pound as a set, try not to touch you face if you can, change you pillow cases every 3 days, and also dont use a flanel or a sponge when washing your face us your hands, but clean them first, also if you eat pizza or mcds, or burger king, we all do once in a while always wash your hands afterwards, carry on drinkin the water beacuse it will clear your skin, also acne is hendretrey (sorry if i spelt that wrong) so im guessing one of your parents had it? dont be afriad to approach them, my dad had it and he gave me the talk, acne dosent change the person you are inside, be yourself if you are worried about them, i used to get really worried what people think but ive proven myself wrong, ive got a girlfriend of 7months and im really popular at college, my acne was a rare case that i had it that long, i have really sensitive skin, also i had a habbit when i had acne of bathing 3 times a day, dont do that makes the acne worse.. hope for all the best!

Apply mixture of lemon juice with cinnamon powder on your face and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water.This is very effective for treating acne.
