Hi. Don't suffer with acne, see your doctor for one of the many effective treatments available. Acne usually responds well to a 12 week course of the oral antibiotic Oxytetracycline 250mg twice daily. A topical synthetic retinoid such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) can be used in addition to this.
If your acne is severe, and does not respond to standard treatments, your doctor can refer you to a dermatologist for evaluation. You may warrant treatment with oral Isotretinoin (Accutane/Roaccutane).
Eloise.
