If you're able to spend some money on treatment, there is a relatively new treatment available called Blue Light. It must be done in a dermatologists office, and not all dermatologists offer it because it requires special equipment.

I had this done and it made a huge difference on my acne. I tried everything but accutane, as I was just not willing to put my body through that.

If that is out of the question (it is fairly expensive;I saved for months to get it), I have used sulfur masks with more success than Retin a and benzoyl peroxide by themselves. I would leave the mask on all night long and apply the Retin a or benzoyl peroxide for the day time.

Good luck... it is very difficult to battle this

Bactrim, an antibacterial combination drug, is prescribed for the treatment of certain urinary tract infections, severe middle ear infections in children, long-lasting or frequently recurring bronchitis in adults that has increased in seriousness, inflammation of the intestine due to a severe bacterial infection, and travelers' diarrhea in adults. Bactrim is also prescribed for the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, and for prevention of this type of pneumonia in people with weakened immune systems.

Try this simple remedy. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne like soap. The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
