Look, here is my story :

This acne thing has been hunting for like 5 years and more. I'm 21 years old but I'm still having acne problem. I tried lots of way to solve it but none of them works!

When i was 15 years old, I got a real big acne on my face and ended up taking an injection and some pills from Dr.Ting (a famous Doctor in Jalan Imbi). I reached a part when those pills are useless against my acne and I started to consume Accutane for 2 months. After 2 months i decided to stop consuming it due to serious dryness problem and my mom started to give me lecture on How Bad is WESTERN MEDICATION.

When i was 19 years old, I went to Columbia, Seremban due to my serious acne problem again and the Doctor (I forgot the name) gave me some Antibiotic pills. It was really good when i was consuming it for like 6-7 months but right after i stopped it, the acne problem came back again. I lost my trust on the doctor so I went to another Doctor in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman who gave me some Occutane (He said it's the same like Accutane) and some antibiotic pills but i stopped it right after 2 weeks due to my mom's lecture again! I thought my acne problem was solved but then after a week, it came back again.

Few months ago, I went to see this doctor in Columbia, Seremban. He gave me the antibiotic pills again and i consumed them but the effect was not so good. While i was consuming these pills, I applied Retin-A on my face as well. Last week, my doctor gave me some Roaccutane 20mg, which had to be consumed once in 2 days.

Now, My acne problem is a little bit worse compare to last week, I got them on my face, my neck, and my back. I'm still consuming Roaccutane and also applying Retin-A only on my face. What should i do now? Should i just continue to consume Roaccutane? The doctor said it's a 6-12 months program, what if my problem still cannot be solved? I really, really, REALLY want to get rid of my acne and pimple. The roaccutane is really making me suffer due to dryness.

I really need some advice here. I'm so self low esteem due to my acne problem. Is there any food should i stop eating to help on this? such as Carbs, etc. I know i shouldn't eat oily food.

Acne are caused by bacteria, oil production and clogged pores. So the doctor giving you antibiotic pills is a correct treatment, given that those acnes of yours at that time may be caused by bacteria.

Diet also played a part in causing acnes, food like dairy products, chocolate and carbohydrate-rich foods may trigger acne.

Stress is also another factor. If you are stressed often, it will trigger more acnes.

Oily skin is another major factor of acnes. As soon as your face felt oily, go and wash your face with a facial cleaner. Buy one of those facial cleaner tubes such as those from Kao and keep it with you so that you can use it when you need to wash your face at school, work or public place. Also buy those wet face wipes or those wet baby wipes so that when you cannot go to the toilet to wash your face immediately, you use those wet wipes to wipe out the excess oil temporary until you can go to the toilet to wash your face. The longer the oil stay on your face, the higher the possibility of acne forming.
