I've tried accutane it didn't do it for me.
Believe me guys I have tried almost everything.
Dairy has been proven to cause cystic acne, But I can't be fucked going into details about that but if I had a single dairy product my face lights up like a Christmas tree.
I know it will get better but I just wish I didn't give a fuck.
Again thanks for all the tips. I don't eat avocado but have been as I have heard it is good for skin. Just started eating it today.

I said absolute cure. Meaning cures it 100%. Of course those things can help but they won't cure it 100%. Time usually well though. I tried almost everything you mentioned when I was 17 and still had acne. Once I turned 24-25 my acne disappeared and hasn't come back in the years since. I was giving him hope that in time it will get better.

like i said before man, give it 3-5 years and it will naturally clear up....for now minimize stressing on it....get mad sun, ocean water if you can, exfoliate maybe and you can minimize it but dude, a lot of people juat have to deal with acne 
this kid i know was probably worse than you (havent seen your face) but his was alllll fucked up, scars and pits from previous cysts, his face was basically 3/4 red all the time from acne...like straight pizza face status
he had it through the end of HS, and a few years after, hes now 23 and his face is clear as fuck....if you searched you could still see scars on his face but its tough....let nature run its course and chill out in the meantime man....your friends should be super supportive of you going out and enjoying yourself....try it, if they're your friends they shouldnt care about the acne

i dont see why you shouldnt....i wouldnt look in a mirror while tripping tho since you are having self confidence issues....if you have to go to the bathroom while tripping keep your eyes on the target, avoid the mirror.....trip with a close friend or maybe a few close friends even....their company will keep your mind busy and not thinking about the acne

But yea close friends is the go for me. Cheers guys

I never had acne till I started on/off smoking cigarettes. It's the on/off that fucks you.
You either gotta commit to them or stay off, cuz you'll get quit zits and I'm kind of fucked by them now.
Actually it's not that bad, I probably exaggerate because I'm vain as fuck and look in the mirror too much. Just like you probably do.
I knew a badass coke dealer named [censored] who had shit acne scars all up and down his cheeks. Hella acne scars like craters. But he played it off like it wasn't shit. He embodied those scars. They were a part of him and how you knew his personality.
It's not such a big deal like you think.

Dude I skipped everything you guys said but here's my story. I have super oily face and hair I tried tons of products and natural shit but none of them worked. I still can't believe it but scrubbing my face with my body wash did it. I asked my dad if he ever had acne and he said no and told me what he did. I still have scars but it saved my life. My friend told me when I had acne that it looked like my face hurt. The brand I use is pure castle soap. I buy it in a gallon. Lol. But seriously i stopped using all my products and washing my face throughout the day. It took about a week. You could probably use the bar of soap and a loofa(the proof ball you use in the shower)

I read that completely wrong. I read that as there is no effective treatments for acne. Sorry. Had a little bit too much kava last night.

I rarely post here, but I thought I'd tell you my deal...
I just turned 60 yrs old & retired. I haven't had to deal with acne for 20 yrs now. Yeah, I was still getting 2-3 cystic nodules on my face at any given time...at age 40!! I couldn't believe it (I don't want to bum you out, but yeah, still getting zits at age 40!) & I went to the dermatologist. He put me on Accutane for 5 months & then stop. I broke out like a son-of-a-bitch at 1st, then my skin got super dry & all the zits were dropping like flys, seriously. Worked like a charm & it's probably my age helping. Look up Nanocleanse on the web. Great soap. Hope this doesn't discourage, just keep trying various products until you discover the best 1 for you.
--------------------
Enjoy Life. It has an expiration date. When I die, I want my last words to be... "I left a million dollars under the..."

I am hoping it is hormonal and there isn't something fucked up going on inside me hahah.
I can't really scrub my face because of how sore it is. Like I would probs be crying if I did that :/ even my pillow hurts my skin sometimes.
I will look up that soap though. I have tried accutane it was devilish

I did a low dose (10 mg a day) and had no side effects besides dry skin. What kind of dosage were you on?

60mg a day.
its roaccutane where I am from
Yea bro don't worry. I gotta be honest this new regimen is already looking promising but if it gets severe I'll go back on accutane.
Summer usually means my skin gets a lot milder and my diet has meant that my skin has improved a lot since last summer. worst time of my life.
If this regimen is all its cracked up to be I am thinking I will be almost clear by the end of summer. I have 4 big cysts at the moment and nothing else. But redness which is said to go away in a couple weeks.
I have an acne makeup which i don't give a fuck about wearing because it makes me feel better.
Honestly I find if I feel positive when I go too look in the mirror I can see the beauty ya know.
But I absolutely hate going out in public. Most people are so superficial now days.
Cheers

60 mg is very high depending on your weight. No wonder the side effects were unbearable.
