Humph: What are you waging your face with? Don't scrub! wash with an acne wash like neutrogena for acne then at night start using benzoyl peroxide . Start on for 2 hrs and work up to leaving it on all night. Use a retinol in the am. Moisturize! use noncomedogenic makeup. Maybe change antibiotic.

Acne vulgaris: Whiteheads and blackheads wich you means are called comedones. Hormonal influences at ur young age makes more sebum production. 1.Avoid high fat food/chocolate.2.Use noncomedogenic soaps like oil of olay, dove 3.Can continue tetracycline if recently started. 4.Not clear whether u used benzoyl peroxide, sulphur creams.If not effective tretinoid gp -good . But if planning pregnancy it is contraind.
