Ah, the joys of acne...or lack there of.
What everyone has said is right, a lot of things contribute to it, and you're in a situation where you can't control a lot of them. The things I did to help with my acne:
1) No more super greasy foods or lots of sodas. I replaced them with water and the WANT to eat greasy foods that I just ignore.
2) I cleaned my face with a mild cleanser twice a day and then used an oil controlling lotion afterwards. If you JUST wash your face your body will create more oil to replace what you just took off; however, if you replace it with a dryer lotion your body will slow down the oil production.(I use Mary Kay, but I don't imagine you can get that out where you are...) We often assume that if we're oily/greasy lotion will just make it worse, but it actually HELPS.
3) I do NOT touch my face with my fingers or palms any more. At all. A lot of times we cause breakouts by pressing against our pores with greasy/grimy hands. I saw a HUGE reduction in my acne just by only touching my face with the back of my hands(there's no oil glands there).
4) Stop using a medication that is only making things worse, lol. Sorta silly to have to say, but it's true. If you're NOT seeing results you won't see them by persistence. Every body had different reactions, and obviously your's isn't a good one.
So, in a nutshell: More water! Clean and LOTION! NO TOUCHIE!!
I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back keep me here.
Nikko was here out of love for Fey. <3
