Scientific Rx: Acne treatment works but must be prescribed by your physician. The only over-the-counter stuff that does any good is benzoyl peroxide & i assume it's failed. If you're a female & can go on "the pill", this may clear you. Otherwise, adding topical Clindamycin and (since this is a major problem) perhaps a systemic antibiotic early will probably clear you.
