Not mush else if you have already consulted a doctor.
Given that you never had this problem until now in your later years makes me wonder if there is something going on now in your life or if your environment has changed any. More stress at work or home could be a cause. Had any children recently or a job change? Also, what kind of water do you have in your home? Is it different than the water you used to use? DO you still live in the same area? Is more or less polluted than it used to be? Also, look at your diet. If it is not balanced, it will effect the oil production in your glands. Also, check to see if you have this problem anywhere else on your body.
Start looking at these things instead of focusing squarely on the skin. Since you have gone to several doctors and have tried almost everything you can, you have to start looking at other things around you. Don;t make drastic changes all at once. Change one thing at a time to see if that is the cause. It may take a while to figure out.
Have you tried a salt scrub? Table salt and water, make a paste in your hand and rub it in (don’t really scrub b/c it is abraisive) hold it to your face with the palm of your hands until it tingles. Do this a couple times daily and it will help draw out the impurities, dry the sores out, and prevent future breakouts. I know it sounds kind of ridiculous that something this simple could work but it does. Ohh if you get too dry use a good light moisturizer for those areas. Try to stay away from make up, it will help too.
I’ve had pretty bad acne for most of my life. I’m only 20 but it started early for me..i was around 11 when i got my first break outs and it only became worse..Its cleared up a lot and what i think has helped alot is stop using the products..just stop completley..you might not listen to me or even think im telling you the truth but its true and it works…but that doesnt mean you shouldnt wash your face..wash it atleast 2-3 times a day with plain water! just water. eventually you will notice that it helps..because sometimes acne can just be irratated by acne medication and make it looks worse and red. what your skin needs is natural water. just do it for alteast 2-3 weeks or a month put away all the chemically stuff and do it. it just might work. most acne product cause you to scar because they are all so harsh and dry out the skin..trust me i know!
Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide prevents the pores from clogging up by removing dead skin cells. It also kills the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes that causes acne. It has anti-inflammatory effects and reduces oxygen free radicals and fatty acids on the skin.
Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid unclogs the pores, and reduces inflammation. It is also somewhat effective at killing bacteria.
After you wash make sure you use a good oil free moisturizer!
You can get these online or at stores like ULTA. Just look for these active ingredients!
I’ve found that using a face scrub in the morning and at night works well. At night I use something like neutragena on the spot to help dry up any problem zits. For scarring use mederma. It’s a cream, like a hard core neosporin, its spendy but it works!
well my mom uses lemons yes lemon, and she squeezes them then put sugar, after leave it in your face for 5 minutes rinse it towel dry , put a face cream , make sure you do it before you sleep do this every 4 days. also wash your pillow cases =)
