Ok, I'm 21 years old. I've had acne on and off for the last 8-9 years. Shouldn't they be gone by now?

I have sporadic breakouts, and they are so closely spaced together that you'd never think the acne ever left, once it first showed up. That is, I'd go about 2-3 days with clear skin, only to have the acne show up once again. I use various forms of face wash, but to no avail (Kiehls face wash, menscience face wash, anthony for men face wash, etc).

Sometimes I get the typical red painful annoying acne breakouts, but then at other times (most times) I get the white, puss-filled sacs all around my cheek area, and skin-colored acne bumps on my forehead and temples.

What's going on here? What should I do to get rid of these things?
 
You have acne prone skin and you will more them likely deal with it until your late 20's. You will just have to do your best to deal with and manage it. I started getting acne when I was 13 and it didn't start disappearing completely until about 26, now I just deal with dry skin and a little scaring. But from what I have read if you got acne as a child it will go away by your late late 20's. The bad is if you didn't get acne as a child and you start getting it as an adult then you have adult acne which i believe stays around for a long time. None of this is 100% just stuff I have read over the years.
 
U may want to research some natural methoRAB to clearing acne. Piling on acne fash washes that's loaded w/chemicals only further damages your skin. It will never cure the acne. U may be allergic to something your eating. Try eliminating dairy,eggs & sweets for a week or two. Then introduce them back in one by one. See which one causes outbreaks. Eat protein w/every meal(especially breakfast) w/ tons of fruits/vegetables that are loaded w/antioxidants. Ex-strawberries,blueberries,acai berry, pomegranite).Also make sure you are getting enough omega fatty aciRAB ex-walnuts,olive oil. It takes trial and error but you will discover the regimine that will clear your skin. I would like to recommend the Zia skincare line. They have an excellent line for acne-prone skin that does not include harmful chemicals such as BP & SA. I sound like a pro at this because I have literally studied acne for 5 years trying to come up with a natural remedy. I have gone to dermatologist and all they do is load u up w/anti-biotics(horrible for your body) and chemicals to put on your skin.Oh yeah, my skin is pretty awesome now. I get compliments. So good luck and I wish u well!
 
I'm almost 34, and I still deal with it. Had it since I was 14, just before I turned 15. It's only mild, now, but still very, very erabarrassing.
