Suggest Treatment For Facial Acne

I have acne on my face and I've had it for almost 2 years. I exercise, eat right, go outside, and wash my face but it doesn't seem to go away. I am also 15 years old and this is bugging me a lot. Ive tried several products such as benzagel and clean and clear products but they just make it worse. What should I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Acne or Pimples can occur due to a number of causes hormonal imbalances, oily skin, bacterial infection, inflammation, clogged pores and excess sun exposure..
In your case and considering your age it seems to be most probably due to hormonal imbalances that is a most common cause in teenagers..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
You can also apply Clindamycin gel over the pimples..
You can be advised retinoids like Adapelene gel at night.
You can exfoliate your skin twice a week.
You can do cool compresses over the pimples..
Avoid oily food and drink plenty of water..
He can also advise you oral antibiotics like Minocycline and retinoids like Adapelene gel..
Treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling can also be advised..
