I read lots of research papers about acne and I tried many things including diets, removing dairy, removing sweets, changing pillow sheet daily, many kinds of anti acne treatments.

The only thing that worked was roaccutane. After the treatment it slowly comes back so I beat it permanently with low-dosing (a 10 or 20mg pill every now and then)

I realize there must be a reason deep down that caused it. Typically dermatologists first try to give a cleansing treatment with some kind of scrub cream (will solve it if hygiene was the issue). Then they try anti biotics (if bacteria is the issue) then finally use the nuclear option with roaccutane which works with practically every one (but relapse can happen)
