I am suffering from severe red pimples as shown in attached pictures since last 3 months. They are getting worse day by day. I've got them checked by many doctors but to no avail. Please suggest me what should I do?

    Hi waleed, are they sore and have you received any treatment at all?

    I think they sometimes prescribe a Tetracycline for acne and precribe it for quite a long period.

    Have you looked at this leaflet 

    https://patient.info/health/acne

    There is a lot of information there.

    HI Waleed ~

    I'm so sorry you are suffering from this.  My daughter had severe acne because unbeknownst to us she was allergic to chlorine.  She was a swimmer in high school.  Not a good mixture when trying to suceed in High School then with a severe case of acne.  She had a wonderful boyfriend that turned husband .  After seeing dermatologist after derma...she went on proactive (found online) and OMGOSH! what a world of difference.  She has NO scars and has beautiful skin.  So, there is hope for you.  Keep you chin up! Good luck

    Just a note on the tetrycycline, it can cause problems with tooth discoloration plus you need to stay out of the sun and NOT drink milk products as it just makes matters worse.  I found this out because my brother also suffered and he did not know any of the findings of what to stay clear of.  I was not pleased with the pharmacist..if they cure you they lose business?  I mean that's cynical but it seems to be true to some.

    Good luck and I wish you well through this difficult time.

    I'm curious, have you had any luck with anything yet?  Like I said, I have seen with my own eyes, the affect that proactive had on my daughter's skin, my brohter's and a good friend of mine, her son.  It's advertised online.  It's a good product!  Hope you do try this and it works as well for you as it did the three I spoke of.
