Permanent Cure For Acne

My dermatologist said to return my AmorePacific oil-free hydra-gel. ( http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=TJ03NMQU555LUCV0KRRRHOQ?id=P232940&categoryId=C20702 ) She said I dont need it and all I need is sunscreen. I thought that moisturizing was essential. I have combination skin and Im 18. I live in nyc weather and Im being treated for cystic acne with erythromycin-benzoyl gel and doxycycline. I use Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 PA+++. ( http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P173669&categoryId=C152 ) Im going into runway this upcoming fall so im worried about whether I should really stop moisturizing.

I started suffering from severe cystic acne 2 years ago. I became really sad/depressed. I don’t know if i really have depression but i do have many periods where i feel suicidal especially when I’m about to get my period. I’ve been going to a dermatologist for 2 years and i’ve tried every antibiotic and creams, now he wants me to take accutane. I don’t want to take it because it’s too severe and not natural. I hate putting random stuff in my body like antibiotics/medicines. I’m sick of swallowing pills. I refuse to take accutane because i think I’m depressed, i haven’t told anyone, and taking accutane will make my sadness/depression worse. I don’t want to tell anyone i feel this sadness b/c no one believes me and all dermatologists i’ve been to have said the same thing, i feel like all they care about is money. My family doesn’t believe my depression and my doctors are not friendly, not someone you can talk to. My acne and depression gets worse when I’m about to get my period. I don’t know what to do. I’m so sick of acne and I’m so sick of how i get treated just by looking at my face. I don’t know what to do anymore.

I went to the dermatologist today and she said that I should return my ole henriksen aloe vera cleanser and grease relief toner since I do not need it. she said just use my benzoyl peroxide gel and doxycycline and to remember to use oil-free non-comedogenic sunscreen with at least an spf of 30. she also told me that I dont need to moisturize either so i returned my Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturizer as well. I am 18 with combination skin and im being treated for cystic acne btw. Should I follow what my dermatologist said? Im skeptical cuz I thought that these parts she todl em to stop were essential parts of a skincare regimen. Though she is renowned in her field. I really dont want to get rid of my cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.

Okay…so i have cystic acne and the 1 thing that actually worked on my skin when I received a facial was the high frequency machine. I bit the bullet and bought a high-end spa device that is the identical device that my aesthetician uses on me to treat acne using high frequency.
she put a salicylic serum on my face prior to using high frequency. she told me that the combination of the serum with high frequency would help to further penetrate the salicylic serum.
I am just confused because i thought that this device should not be used in conjunction with alcohol based products.
Can you let me know what is classified as a safe serum to put on my face (that will help my cystic acne) prior to using the high frequency device. I want to use a serum in conjunction with the treatment!
Please give me proper instructions for the most effective treatment( inclusing best serums to use with this device during treatment)…. including how often i should to it!
THANKS

I’m 16 years old and I feel like I’ve tried everything possible for it. Everything works for a little while but then stops and I go back to normal.

My acne is really painful and it sometimes stays underneath the skin so it’s hard to treat and it hurts even worse.

I complain about it to my mom ALL the time.
She keeps telling me she’ll get me a doctor or derm.
The reason we’ve been putting it off is because we just moved and we haven’t gotten around to getting any medical care.
I feel like my mom is making false promises to me because I’ve been asking for medical attention for my acne for about 2-3 MONTHS now and she won’t do anything about it but try and reassure me that’ll it’ll go away.

I can’t even explain how much my acne depresses me because everyone I know has completely clear skin and I have hurricane on my face.

My self esteem is really low because of my acne and no one’s even helping me.
