I will have a look at that tretinoin stuff.
I have tried aloe vera it worked but I became immune to it. I think I will give it a go again soon.
Cheers for the replys. Mum just got me some vitamin d3 and zinc so hopefully that helps.

Get off any and all medications.
Eat High carb, low fat. Try rawtil4 vegan . I do it and it's amazing. Skin is awesome.
Keep your diet low salt, low oil. Drink tons of water
Cut out 100% of junk food. Drink alot of green juices. Eat alot of clean foods. Ripe banana smoothies, rice/ veg, etc
The acne will clear up. It's your body telling you that you're doing something wrong or you're just detoxing.

dude get outta here with that, thats not going to help...its not his body telling him hes doing something wrong....its called hormones
hes fuckin 18, its perfectly normal to have acne....and not uncommon to have bad acne at that age, and even later. im 23 and my back and chest are finally clearing up....there may be some things that the others have mentioned that will help the condition but mostly time will help...you need your body to chill out from puberty and your skin should start to clear up even if not 100% a lot more than you would ever think.
sun helped mine clear up short term by far the most

Diet is 100% related to acne.
Sorry you disagree.

False. Certain things in our diet can be linked to acne but in no way is it a direct factor.
Things I've noticed with acne that you should take note of.
1. It's sort of a mind game. Don't bother with it and it sort of goes away.
2. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE! This seems obvious but we all know the first thing we do when we see a zit is feel it. This transfers a shit ton of bacteria into the affected area.
3. If you have a zit that can be popped. You shouldn't force it but help it pop by washing hands, using a sterile needle, and clean cloth to pop the zit. I wouldn't recommend this in your situation.
4. Try that benzaderm wash, it contains aloe to prevent your face from drying out. I tried a bunch of shit before when i was younger. i was on this differin shit and the benzaderm wash for a long time. When I first started taking differin my acne exploded. I was told it does this then starts to work... fuck that shit just use the benzaderm wash.. and don't touch ur face!

did you not read any of this thread, he says he's tried all different types of diets, cleansers....they are cysts that leave craters...not a few black heads on his nose or some pimples that pop up now and then.
OPs body is doing it because his age...and possibly a skin condition who knows, but i am 99% confident its not his diet

there are alot of different ways to eat vegan. Some are healthy and some are not. OP never specifically said what he eats, nor does he say if he's exercising enough. How long he's been vegan, etc
Watch the video

Hey man thanks for the reply I have not tried raw till 4 but a number of my sisters friends are doing that. They don't have skin problems but I guess they like it. I excersise 2-4 times a week as mentioned in previous posts. I am already vegan.

I actually joined 2014 I don't know where you got that from
I actually was on doxyccline aswell that did fuck all just remove the little shit.
Although I agree it is hormonal there is defenitly ways of leveling your hormones with diet. For example lactose produces hormones in your body I believe.
I looked in the mirror before I have a red face(sunburnt looking) but the acne is really starting to tone down thanks to the regimen. No doubt it's hormonal but I believe you can tone skin down with diet.
Woody harrelson (fav actor) is vegan and went vegan when he was on a bus and some chick told him that he is lactose intolerant and his acne would clear if he stopped drinking milk and having milk products. Obviously it was not hormonal but I would have way worse skin if I still drunk milk.
I have been vegan for just over a year. First went vegan when my partner said I should go vegan. And then I saw the thing about woody harrelson and I made the commitment.
Do you think weed would effect my hormones? I haven't smoked weed in a bit over a month but will probably tonight.
Just wondering if that would effect my skin in a negative way?
Again thank you all for the replies. It truly means a lot to me hearing everyones stories and helpful advice.
Cheers

Dude we've all gone through this. I can guarantee you that other things besides diet are MAJOR factors. Diet is so minimal when it comes to skin! If you eat like a turtle you will still have acne no doubt!
Acne is bacteria clogged in pores! Stress causes huge hormone releases so stressing about said situation worsens the situation. Have you ever had a zit that you just ignored and it went away in 2 days.. compared to one you keep giving attention and it stays for 2 weeks..
I have minimal acne now. I only breakout when I shave! which pisses me off because it's like okay this hair looks dumb gotta shave and then bam.. a few zits.. fucked up cuz my facial hair doens't come in so I HAVE to shave or look like bieber!

I think you shouldn't interfere with your skin and just let it do its thing... It will resolve itself soon.
