Hmm ok well the next question is, how old are you? It may be puberty
Ask your doctor about a medicine called accutane, or Isotretinoin.
clean your sheets and pillows bro that is like 90% of the problem
and dude minocyclene is an antibacterial it isn't doing shit to your face, take that twice a day or whatever the doctor told you to do
if you have cystic acne you're gonna have to go all out and murder your face to get rid of it. if you've just got pimples then you're doing the right thing [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-thumbsup.gif[/img]
My face was alright, had a few pimples now and then, but my back was always bad, people told me it looked like the Himalayas had sprouted back there. I took Minocycline for a year, it kept the acne and swelling down but it didn't make the acne go away. I started taking Accutane about 2 weeks ago, it's making my face really dry and my lips fall off, and it has potentially fatal/ life-ruining side effects, but goddamnit if my back doesn't look 20 times better already.
TLDR Accutane is the answer

I have liver problems, so i cant take accutane.
people seem to confuse cystic acne (under the skin) and regular run-of-the-mill pimples
grease aint doin shit to cystic acne, and skin products that EXFOLIATE (read: acutane and acne face washes) are really overkill for pimples
When you shower, if you have a "Hair and body wash shampoo" use that on your face and rub it in.
I recently bought some "Neutrogena oil-free acne wash" and it's worked great for me, I'm seeing results after 3 days and I'm only following half the instructions(says to cleanse twice a day, but I just do it once as the last part of my morning shower).
basically wash every day, if there is a swimming pool nearby, try to swim every other day.
it's what i do, keeps it at bay.

Oh ok. Well i dont really know what else to suggest besides take a hot towel and just rub your face with it.
put soap on your face while in the shower.

Yeah, now that you mention it, chlorine does make my skin dry.
I could try that.

And make sure you have a thick skin. This guy made a thread complaining about how people reacted upon noticing his, ah, action.
The clean towel thing.
Is it enough to chuck it in the washing machine without a tab and tumble dryer everyday and do that, got an ideal sized towel to wrap my pillow in but I can't afford to chuck a Persil tab in for a towel wash everyday on a student budget and I don't have big washs till the end of the week.
Wash your face erryday
I take these Doryx pills that my dermatologist gave me and they work like a charm.
Talk to a dermatologist?
If you haven't already go to your Doctor, depending on where you live he can you stuff that does work, he starts you off with facial stuff you rub on your face and if it doesn't work he moves you onto better stuff, such as pills (In b4 pills here) etc.
Plus depending on where you live, it should be free.

Use the shirt you will wear the next day. It's not going to harm the shirt unless it's extremely expensive, in which case it might bleach a tiny bit in the wash.
Or unless you sweat like a pig in heat.

get pills from doctor

Accutanes a bitch. There's like a huge list of symptoms that cause it like pain in your back, dry lips (lots of cracking of the lips) nostrils, suicidal thoughts, and another 20 or 30. But it did clean up a lot.
Tons of vitamin C and water, don't wash your face with face wash, just with water and a washcloth.
Myself being someone who has dealt with severe acne for 2 years, I can tell you that only go to a dermatologist when its your last resort.
While Accutane is probably the best way to get rid of them and prevent it further, the acne needs to be pretty bad already and you will go through 3-4 months of absolute hell, your acne gets worse, sore back, dry lips and nose, depression (because of the inflammation). But its seriously worth it. My acne cleaned up completely, without many scars to show either.
If its not too bad, use a product called Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) only use a small amount then build up your tolerance, it burns a little at the start but it works really well if you use it properly. Drink fuck loads of water, like loads and loads and sleep with a fresh towel over pillow every night and get a really short haircut or wash your hair alot so avoid grease on your face.
You know what I found out? Don't waste your time with "ACNE/ZIT REMOVER" shit is so fucking annoying... It's like it has a chemical of sort to make your acne x10 worse if you stop using it for a day. Stick to witch hazle, soap, clean shirt on bed, and otherwise.
Don't eat spicy things or chocolate.
Use soap.
