i have scars all over and my face is not clearing up!! i have had this problem since i was twelve and im twenty and it seems to be getting worse. i have changed my eating style and  i have used proactive, acne free, benzaclin, retin-a, clenia, and other things and an oral medication. is there anything else that i could use to clear up my acne and help clear up some of my scarsI have SEVERE acne i have been to the dermatologist many times and have been given several medications?
Like you, I had acne at a very young age (it started at age 11), and I felt like I had tried EVERYTHING!  Finally, I tried accutane (as a last resort!).  Have you heard of it?  It is serious stuff!  Your dermatologist will recommend blood tests and birth control if you aren sexually active; but it is soooo worth it!  It got my acne under control, to the point where I can use drug store acne meds to keep clear.  This  medication is typically a last resort, because there are side effects; but if you have tried everything else, then I would ask your derm. about accutane.  Hope this helps!
