I'm 21 now and I just feel like people don't respect me and I'm really conscious of it. I know mine is only a mild or moderate case but it's persistent and doesn't go away. My dermatologist has put me on every possible topical medication in the last 6 or 7 years but not Accutane yet. I'm considering asking for it but I'm really just afraid of the potential for permanent hair loss.

I'm thinking about taking on a drastic diet change like vegan gluten-free low-GI. Someone else told me that I shouldn't let it control my life like that, but I feel that letting defeating acne control my life and accomplishing something on my own would be far better than just letting having it control my life.

Acne is caused by a clogging of pores with oil and dirt.

Exfoliating scrubs away this crap in your pores. Sometimes though it can be a bit too harsh, and you irritate the skin. Don't forget to moisturize, if this is the case.
