See a dermatologist: Rather than being miserable, do something about the source of your anguish. Take care.

Multiple things: Use a good moisturizer and cleanser. Topical retinoids are effective, ipl, lasers and chemical peels can help. See a physician for more personal recommendations and physician grade skin creams that work well. Oral contraceptives can work because the estrogen increases shbg which binds free testosterone and decreases androgen production.
