In the meantime, wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day ; use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. >>.

Listen Jordan: I'm really sorry you're in this sitaution. Acne can be managed by any licensed physician; the most severe cases need isotretinoin from a dermatologist. You're a grown man now, and no longer subject to your parents' whims. Pick up the phone and call whatever physician will see you, or the skin clinic at your nearest medical school. Use benzoyl peroxide for some help till you're seen.
