Hi. Although acne is common in your age group, you don't have to suffer. See your doctor for one of the many effective treatments.
You may be prescribed a topical ointment such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) and/or a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline.
Acne is often hormonal and, if you have started your periods, your doctor may prescribe you a special contraceptive pill called Diane35/Dianette. This blocks the action of male hormones in your body and is an option for teenage/adult female acne patients.

Also, do not pop your pimples. This spreads bacteria under the skin and can lead to further breakouts in the same spot. It can also delay healing time, lead to possible secondary infection and increase the risk of scarring.
