Thread: I can't get rid of my pimples

I am 19 years old and i have been sufferin with acne for about 7 years now. I've tried everything possible. Sometimes its mild and at times it flares up alot. I want to know what can i do to get it under control?

I am 31, and suffered from acne from 10-23. It was horrible. It was cystic acne and it was on my face, neck, chest, and back. I would not go out of the house unless I had to. I, too, tried everything. Finally, mom took me to a dermatologist in another city, and I started taking accutane. My fist cycle of it worked for awhile. My face was all clear and I no longer had pimples for ahwile. Then they started coming back, and my doctor put me back on Accutane again. It worked this time. I might have a 1 pimple 2 or 3 times a year! I would talk to your reg doctor or dermatologist asap. I know how horrible and degrading acne can be. Good luck
