Question about adult acne??

I am 21 years old, and I am getting pimples worse than ever! I have tried Proactive, and that didn't help at all. I have no idea what to do about it. It isn't seriously bad, just some around my mouth, cheeks, and chin. It's SO embarrassing because it seems like I am the only one around here without clear skin! What kind of products should I use? Is there anything else I could do? I am getting desperate. Ugh!!!

Question about adult acne??
Some birth control pills control acne; you could also try a topical like Retin-A. Retin-A works pretty good but it takes 2-3 months for it to really have an effect.
Reply:Sounds like you may need a trip to the doctor. You may need to take some medicine to clear your face up. It may be something going on inside. I tried all kind of things and couldn't figure out what was going on. I thought why is my face worse now than when I was a teenager. Well, they gave me some medicine and my problem was over. I just needed to take one perscription. Good luck!
Reply:try going to a dermatologist. mine put me on doxycicline (sp?) and spironolactone (sp?), and the combination works really well for me.
Reply:go to your dermatologist, i'm sure he or she will be able to help you out.. but if it's not that bad then they probably won't give you a prescription.. try using any kind of facewash and something to apply to it at night.. but DON'T overdo it, it'll just make things worse.. and don't wash your face with hot water or wash it too much, it'll only irritate your skin..
Reply:It sounds like your body is overloaded with toxins and isn't eliminating them properly. I use vitamins and minerals, selenium and iodine work wonders for this.
