How to get rid of acne?

Update:

Obviously as a teenager acne is common. But I've been having it worse than a lot of teens for the past 2 years already. I want to know how to get rid of acne redness and acne scabs easily. After a lot of my acne goes away, it doesn't scar but there is a lot of redness in that area still and it won't go away. Can I get some suggestions? I've tried a lot of stuff obviously like benzyl peroxide, salicylic acid, etc. I put on oil free lotion and I've used masks too.

    I would not think the hair problems have anything to do with the acne. That is two different issues. I am sure the Dermatologist gave you something to help with the acne but my son had it and it took a year of constant treatment. It was on his face and back. It finally did go away with no scars. Also, the new light therapy with UV rays really help the acne. They make them just for the face. That along with the creams should help it much faster and keep it from coming back. There is not need to lecture you about keeping your face cleansed and exfoliated. I am sure you are aware of this. Electrolysis (laser) is the only way to permanently remove the hair problems. But since you have seen your doctor he could tell you much more than I can. But, hope this helps. Best wishes lol :)

    drink more water, stay away from oily stuff and chocolates and chips, be healthy and you could always get a cream called benzac, which is really good, try rubbing a lemon on your face and wash your face daily
