hi /fit/, got more of a "health" than "fitness" problem here - since i was about 12/13 i've had acne on my face, neck, shoulders, back and more recently arms. i was always told i'd grow out of it as it isn't BAD, liek the people who go to their doctors about it and get given a year's course of some pill or another, but i'm now 19 and they show no signs of improving. any advice??

I am the same way. I suggest immediately eliminating all drinks but water, and one or two generous applications of benzol peroxide per day (along with a moisturizer.) It's not a cure but it should clear you up enough to not be embarrassed in public. A light tan helps as well.

I used to have really really bad acne, and 4 years ago (was 17), my doctor tried everything on me but nothing helped. He then gave me these very very strong acne pills, I had to take 2 of them each day and they dryed your whole body, I had to drink at least 2 gallons of water every day and had to provide a blood sample every month, so they could get sure my body doesn't get any damage from the dehydration. It was a terrible time, my skin was so dry that it scaled off everywhere.

But it was worth it. Half a year later, the acne was completely gone. Now, a few years later, i sometimes have very little acne, but nothing to worry about. It is not coming back.

You really should ask your doctor about a pill cure. If you don't do something about your acne soon, you might end up with lots of scars which become visible as soon as the acne disappears. Thats what my doctor told me.

Hope i could help.

I'll give you some real advice...
Go to the doctors... they will send you to a dermatologist... they will prescribe you with some shit that won't work... then more shit that won't work... then finally after all other solutions have been exhausted they will give you Raucatine (sp?) This shit will get rid of your Acne or spots dramaticly... side effects are dryed lips and dry skin... after a 4-6month corse you have clear skin my friend....Some people don't grow out of spots or acne... just look at some 40 year olds with acne... do something about it.
