Stress about acne
It鈥檚 been since I was 12 years old that I started dealing with acne, until now I鈥檓 15. I鈥檝e tried all kinds of stuff, like Neutrogena, Proactive, cleansers, 3 step solutions, oil free moistures, Benzoil Peroxide Creams鈥?br />
I visited a dermotogist, and pubscribed me some pills (solodyn), and creams which cost $300. Luckily, I got to try it for free, but still no improvement.
I starting to feel very frustrated, and depress knowing that I going thought a whole lot right now. The pain, the lack of friends, and just my self esteem decreasing.
I鈥檝e heard that the last step to try is Accutane, but it seems painful. Anyone have information on this? Perhaps how old does the patient have to be to take this? Also, Can my general doctor prescribe me this?
Can someone tell me what I can do next? Help on what to do to help reduce my acne?
Thanks in advance.

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood. Now you know the anwer, stop stressing about acne! The more you think about it, the more you will attract.
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."
