A regimen: Use benzoyl peroxide facial cleansers or even salicyclic acid containing ones. You ca also use over the counter topical gels and creams for spot treatment. Use a mild facial cleanser 2-3 times per day and try not to touch your face throughout the day. Take a shower after sweaty activities as pores can get clogged. Shampoo your hair daily as well as the oils in your hair can cause acne.

Scientific Rx: Nowadays, all acne can be managed and i'm sorry you weren't taken to a physician by those responsible for you when the scarring began. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, you're old enough to call your doctor and make an appointment now.
