Scientific Rx: Your physician can treat you effectively. If someone is holding out for a "natural / holistic / herbal / ayurvedic" remedy, i appreciate their good intentions but evidence-based scientific medicine is what you need. If it's this bad, you may be put directly on Isotretinoin -- not pleasant or risk-free, but hugely effective; or systemic tetracycline and a topical may be enough.
