Hi. Have you been using over the counter treatments, or ones prescribed by your doctor? Your doctor can offer you a choice of effective treatments. A topical synthetic retinoid like Differin will help, as will a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline.
Also discuss the birth control pill Diane35 (sometimes called Dianette) which will clear your acne, which is caused by a sensitivity to the effects of hormones.
Eloise.
