Acne
how much does this acne treatment cost?
im a teen and i have mild acne. i had Proactiv for about 2/3 years. i only used it whenever i had an outbreak and i rarely had any acne back then so i didnt really use it alot, so about 4 months ago i switched to using the Acne Free 3 step little treatment, its just like proactiv but cheaper, and ive been using that for 3 months day and night and ive also been using Clearasil Stayclear Oil Free Daily Face Wash everyday and night. it isnt doing anything for me. ive been hoping that it would work after i used it for a while but im throwing in the towel. my friend had real severe acne and he went to his dermatologist and they put him on a treatment program called Active or Activa or Acutain or something like that and it worked great, his face is clear. i dont have a dermatologist bc i didnt think my acne was that bad, but now that its getting worse, i need it, but id like to see if anyone just had a ball park estimate of how much that treatment program costs?
so basically, i want to know how much that treatment costs (Active or Activa, or Acutane i cant remember)?
and also i just want to know people’s opinions on what i should do about it, like what products i should use?
actually, i just googled it and its called Activia?

Sudden Severe Acne-like bumps?
This morning when I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror I had suddenly developed a rash of acne-like bumps across my upper chest and up my neck and around to my back. It was not there yesterday, but seems to have developed overnight. I have always had a few bumps here and there, but this is severe – at least 50 between my chin and breasts, plus whatever is on my upper back. They are tiny pimples, some with a white head.
I regularly (not quite everyday) take Claritin to prevent nervous hives I developed after a stressful time a few years ago, and took one yesterday before bedtime.
I can only think of two things that might have contributed to them. I skipped my shower for a "lazy" day yesterday, so my skin was not as clean as usual. And I was very upset with my neighbors to the point of being mad and did not get very much sleep at all. So it could have been nerves or stress.
Does anybody know of anything that might have caused it? I know the standard acne treatment
How can I get rid of annoying acne without irratating my skin?
I don’t suffer from severe acne so when I’ve used previous acne treatments my skin gets very irratated and my skin peels. I’ve tried Proactiv Acne Free and other things but they just wont get rid of the stubborn blackheads on my nose
How do I get rid of moderate-severe acne!??!?! Help!!!?
I suffer with moderate-slightly severe acne and I’ve tried absolutely everything!!! Countless over-the-counter stuff, plus FIVE perscription treatments! My acne won’t budge! Plus, I’m breaking out in MORE places then I ever have! Right now I’m on Retin-A and Adoxa Oral Tablets, but neither of those is doing anything!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I do??? I’m trying to stay away from Accutane…

Severe Acne: I need Help
I’ve had severe acne since for as long as I could remember and I’m at the point to where I’m desperate.
My face is disgusting, very, very disgusting.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m going through social withdrawal, and depression.
At school everyone calls me a "burn victim" because my acne is that severe. I’ve literally tried everything even Proactive, which had no affect at all. And if the number 1 recommended acne treatment didn’t work for me, what else will?
I literally don’t go out anymore because of my acne. I don’t even leave my room that often anymore.
I consider myself to live a good lifestyle. I eat healthy, I exercise, etc.
I also have compulsive picking which means my face is scarred severely for life.
So what am I doing wrong?
Why did I do to get the worst acne if the entire world?
Do you guys have any recommendations as to what I should do next?
