Sand and Zits

I have been in Iraq for a little bit now and I have been breaking out all over my face. Before I came to Iraq I had no zits. Now I have them all over my face and I cant seem to shake them. I have been using the Pro Active Face wash for about 3 months and it is not helping. Any thought? Can anyone help ?

Hi. It may be the climate change which is contributing to your acne. Pro-active is not particularly effective for anything more than mild acne. See your doctor for a prescription-strength gel such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) or Duac gel (Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide). Your doctor may also think you warrant a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline 250mg twice daily.
