I have been dealing with moderate to severe acne since I was in sixth grade. I've tried all different kinds of OTC treatments, but nothing seems to help well enough. My skin is oily, dry, and flaky, one or all of those tend be be exacerbated by medicine. And it doesn't help that I compulsively pick at my skin.
Wonder why I never post pictures of myself here? I'm embarrassed and ashamed of my terrible skin and I want so badly to look healthy.

Can anyone recommend and medicines or home remedies that worked for them? And if anyone else has had troubles with skin picking, what are some ways to get myself to stop?

proactiv is suppose to be pretty good although expensive if you don't look around

probably cheaper stuff just as good, just a matter of finding it

(disclamer: I never had problems with acne although I hear ya on tough skin)
