Get a real Rx: Drinking water and keeping your skin dry will not help with your acne. It's a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related disease that can be a major personal and professional handicap. Get with your personal physician now. Topical and "folk / home" remedies will probably not clear your disease. If a systemic antibiotic and spironolactone don't clear you, please consider isotretinoin. Do what you must.

Acne : Depending on the severity of the acne, combination therapy with topical antibacterials , retinoids , and sometimes oral antibiotics or Accutane may be prescribed . Cystic acne is often treated with Accutane . See your dermatologist to evaluate the acne and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
