Zits...but NOT zits

[dropkick8264]

I have what I call acne on my face, but it is not like regular acne. They are white bumps on the skin, hard and they don't go away when I pick at them. White, hard stuff comes out if I squeeze them, almost like a paste or something. I am getting more and more and I don't know how to get rid of them. Kids make fun of me at school. I have tried clean and clear, proactive, cearisil, Physoderm...everything. My mom doesn't have insurance for us 4 kids cause her work wold deduct like half of her check. But I really need some help if anyone has something like this. Thank you!

Hi Erica.
Firstly, do not pick or squeeze your spots. This will spread bacteria under the skin leading to more spots.
Your GP can prescribe an effective acne gel such as Differin or Duac and/or a course of oral antibiotics. Get your Mom to check out exactly how much this would cost. It is important to treat acne quickly to avoid physical and psychological scarring.
In the meantime, it is better to persevere with one over-the-counter regime, rather than switching brands before one has had time to work. Freederm is a good brand and cheaper than Proactive.
Tell a teacher about the kids who are unkind to you, and remember virtually everyone will get acne during puberty -they are just developing slower than you.
