Ill give it a try if not shall make my way to doctors :D

well iv had acne for 3-4 years. It started slowly but gradually got worse! Then at the end of year 3 it calmed down almost completely but since the last 4-5 months my acne is probably at its peak in the 4 years. recent spots have left scars and i know that these will too. Things i do : I eat very healthy - maybe fatty food once a month Exercise regularly drink 2-3 liters of water a day steam my face regularly exfoliate regularly get good sleep take supplements eg zinc, iron , cod fish liver oil etc basically i do more than just the basics of being healthy but i just cant figure out why my acne is so severe i have a mixture of cysts, papules, pustules all over my cheeks,forehead and around my eyebrows. i have tried benzoyl peroxide, creams everything even the lymecycle iv been given 2 months ago but my acne is just cureless. Im going to be put on roaccutane and hopefully i wish my acne goes away. Acne has hurt me mentally and physically by not being able to go asleep because of the pain , not being able to have a relationship, regular questions of what happened to you holy crap what happened by every relative every friend, just everyone. Recently acne has stopped me from going to mosque for my Friday prayers and trust me iv never missed them for acne. Its so severe nw that sometimes tears appear in my eyes. To end it off, i just want to say the can someone plz tell me whats wrong with me , I'm like one of the healthiest person in my year but i have been chosen to carry this disease. yeh i do have oily skin with some blackheads but i try my best to keep my skin clean. My dad did have a little bit of acne during his early 30's but myn is so severe i cant see it curable. i change my pillows and bed cloths every week and 9 out of 10 times when i wake up there is blood marks or puss marks which never stop. My spots take ages to heal and the pores just keep letting out puss and blood for 1 week. iv been told not to pop my spots but when i don't they just pop in school or when im in a place with others around and its really embarrassing.

Hello all! I'm 15 and I've had mild acne since 12. My blackheads are mostly on my forehead and nose, but lately it's been spreading and now blackheads are on the verge of spreading to my cheeks! Occasionally I have a pimple or two on my forehead or nose, but I don't want pimples on my cheeks. What can I do to get rid of those blackheads? A few years back I used to squeeze them, but it seemed to only worsen the situation. I drink plenty of water and I get 8 hours of sleep every day. I exercise five times a week (swimming or jogging). I don't know why the blackheads are spreading like this. I wash my face every morning and night with Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Wash (with Salicylic Acid). I put Benzoyl Peroxide on the pimples I get. Sometimes I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub as an exfoliater. Please help! Thank you so much!

Natural exfoliating scrubs? (either homemade or bought) or benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid? Which one helps better?

I put benzyol peroxide on my parts of my face for acne. It started to itch and small rashesdeveloped near my chin area. is this an allergic reaction or is it normal? How can i get rid of the rashes?
