I don't know what to do about my skin... I never used to have bad acne I used to just have a few spots on my chin now they just seem to be everywhere and it really gets me down :(

I am 18 so I have a sort of prom soon...
please any advice?

I am British but I live in Italy so don't recommend me things like Asda or Walmart or Target cos we don't have that here. ;)

Plus the weather is really nice right now so is Sun good or bad for skin?

Thankyou so much!

I use a benzoyl peroxide face wash. Any face wash with that as the active ingredient should work. You should be washing your face 2 times a day and taking your makeup off before bed. I would suggest seeing a dermatologist as they prescribed me medication , but may prescribe you something different. Also, of it didn't clear up, consider going to your doctor and being tested for a food allergy. That may be the cause as well , good luck hun! (:

Don't worry I'm in the same boat. If its getting worse just save your skin and go to a dermatologist. I'm going this weekend because I don't want permanent scarring. But for a few weeks stick to a strict regime and wash your face every night and morning and make sure your pillow case is clean!! I had completely clear skin except for a random hormonal break out here and there and this is what my face looks like now!

And this is the other side. This side cleared up a lot since it first started three months ago but it's still bad. In the meantime to tame the itch and pain I use my Olay lotion(just for moisturizing and it's for sensitive skin) and anti itch lotion for poision ivy and it helps a lot. My skin is super sensitive so I use dove sensitive fragrance free beauty bar to wash my face and that helps a lot also! Sorry for it being so long but I hope this helps

Try Fresh Umbrian Clay Face Treatment. I used it as a mask or a spot treatment. It seems working.

You'll need sunscreen, preferably over SPF 30.
