I've had ance since i was 9 or 10 i'm now thirteen as of 7-31-08. i have tried about everything you can get in the store but haven't seen a doctor or talked to my parent about going to see one. i don't want to use anything that is on tv like pro active because i've heard from many people it hasn't helped. Should I ask to see a docter or keep looking at stores for something to work? any advise... please

Have i actually, finally, found the answer??

Ok, last week i turned sixteen and me and my mum were looking at some pictures of me when i was in lwoer school. At 11 years old my head and chin were covered in yellow headed zits, but back then i didnt care so i guess i didnt really take notice of them.

I had really stubborn acne and scars and it helped me to improve my eating habits.  Other than that pay attention to foods which seem to aggravate your skin (no matter what anybody else tells you about "safe" foods) and most importantly AVOID STRESS!!

I’ve had a ton of bad days at school. I mean-arrgh!

I’ve used Roaccutane and it made me feel horrible. I had headaches and mood swings.  It was bad enough that I quit using it, so I never will know if it would have helped me or not.

I had laser treatments and what a waste of time!!! They cost a bundle and the results in my case were really negligible.  My acne scars are maybe a tiny bit improved but not by much and definitely not in line with the money it cost!
