tretinoin at night, I got that from my dermatologist as well, also get yourself some clindamycin use morning after showering off and dry helps reduce redness and swelling. I also like Neutrogena ance wash I think its called its orange and in like a gel looking bottle, anyway I like that for pre-shave, I would get bad acne from shaving regularly but that helped out, also shave less EOD. Get yourself an exfoliator could help use every other day, change your soap, use a different towel so bacteria doesn't grow on it, if you get cystic acne get a hot wet rag, not burn your skin hot but hot enough to bare and hold on acne cysts for 10 mins a day, rag will get cold so re wet and heat and apply. All these are home remedies that will help. But see a dermatologist they will be able to help diagnose you best, ask about oral care pill called Actaclate spelling incorrect but sounds like that. Hope some of this helps ya out I delt with bad acne myself for years as I got past 21 it improved but still gotta keep up on it.
