I used to have one of the worst cases of acne my Dematoligist said shed ever seen. And at 14... that was tramutizing. it got to the point where it became disfiguring.I was put on over 10 different medications within a year. None worked. They only seemed to aggravate it. And the side effects were making me so sick. I finally just gave up. I stopped taking all of the *magic* face-clearing pills and started Birth Control to control my hormones. 4 months later, and my skin is acne free:) I'm still working on reducing my scars. But I couldn't be happier. I no longer cry when I look in mirrors or get made fun of at school. This is me now:) I don't have any pictures from before, because I avoided cameras. But my story is legitimate. I promise:) hope it helps.

Long story short: Gianvi (cheaper version of Yaz birth control) was my lifesaver!

Accutane is seriously a miracle. It's the only thing that's ever helped. I had really bad acne and after 5 months, I was completely clear and have been since which was about 3 years ago! I highly recommend it.

For blackheads use liquid glue. It takes me right off. Wait for it to dry then peal it off.

I honestly think you should go to the dermatologist!

I agree that a derm is in order here. Some acne stems from within the body and antibiotics are needed.

You mentioned that you scrub your face everyday, maybe try cutting back to every other day or every two days. You may be drying out your skin by doing this and causing it to create more oils to compensate for lack of hydration
