Help Please!!

Hi, I'm a teenager and would like for my acne to be at least under control, but no matter what i do, it just keeps getting worse! I tryed to not drink milk for a while [i used to drink it ALL the time], and it got a little better, but it still is very bad. I use Clean and Clear Blackhead Scrub. I have bad blackheads, and i break out on my forhead, and between my eyebrows. I don't touch my face, and i tried pinning up my bangs to see if my hair was the problem, but it's not that either. When i squeeze a pore, that is raised up, i dont know what it is, but white stuff comes out. It seems like all of my pores are filled with this. From genetics, i have large pores. Please help me so i know what it is and can do it!!!! By the way, is there any foods and drinks i should eat and drink daily to keep it under control, besides water?

Hi.
Acne is caused by hormones called androgen which increase during puberty. Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil. Bacteria on the skin feeds off this excess oil, blocking the pores and causing spots.
Diet does not affect this process and over-the-counter products are of limited benefit. See your doctor for a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline 250mg twice a day and a topical retinoid gel like Differin (adapalene).
Eloise.
