You must be a teenager to be having such problems. If so your hormones are changing, which has an impact on your Acne situation. Most people look for a cure to the symptoms instead of going after the cause of the problem. For example we get a headache, so we take a migrane pill. What caused the headache, maybe you need glasses and that should be the cure to your headache.
High blood sugar can cause problems with the skin such as acne. So what I am suggesting is to cut way back on the sugar, especially refined sugar, like soda, cake, ice cream, candy, cookies, maybe even vegetables such as white potatoes and corn, etc...
Visit the American Diabetes Association website or research juvenile diabetes on one of the search engines. Type II Diabetes usually occurs with middle age folks because of obesity and/or poor diet habits for many years. Now it is showing up in younger people too. Obesity (overweight) and poor diets high in sugar is the problem. I am 52 years old and am undergoing such problems now, I have skin problems and loss of outer skin feeling in some parts of my body.
You are young enough to make appropriate changes now, once you get diabetes, it is to late. There is no cure for diabetes, no matter what propaganda you may hear or see on-line.
When I was a young teenager with Acne, I remember using a lot of creams such as clearasil. The best solution was to wash my face several times a day using a good antibacterial soap and hot water, especially on the hotter days when body oils and dirt block your pores. If you develop black heads, you really need to scrub.
Good Luck with your acne.
