I'm just posting this because I have a few questions. To start off, I've had acne for a few years now it really hit me I think in highschool but I honostly couldn't tell you when it first started, it's bugged me like others ever since and it's all I think about.  
 
It's stopped me from doing alot of activities such as, well simply going out with friends or even making new friends, and when I do see old friends or try to make new ones I run away because I am so embarrased about my acne, it's stopped me from going to school and from getting a job, I did finally just finish my 12 though so thats one bonus I had to push myself to go to class though and it was torture.  
 
I have tried pro activ it doesn't work, acne murad, doesn't work, currently I'm washing my face with a spectro jel cleanser and then using 2.5% Benzol and then a moisturizer (most items from acne.org) and I must say it helped for awhile, I've been using this regimen for almost 7 months now or maybe more, then I started taking 25mg of Zinc my face was clear a total of one week that I can remember other then that it was alright and I had some good times.  
 
Now I ran out of BP and ordered some but has taken so long to get here that my acne has come back and really bad, like I don't want to leave my house or even go get a coffee cause I hate the feeling of having everyone stare at me, it really is breaking me down, I try to think about how bad others are and that I should be happy but it's really hard, I started taking 50mg of zinc a day doesn't seem to help (I was off zinc for a week also) now I guess to my question.  
 
What have others done to help the acne prone skin?  
 
Also what do you I have to do to get in contact with a derm possibly and how much would it cost?  
I am kinda cut for cash, hence not having a steady job, but I want to get out here and be more social but I am quite the hermit right now and I hate it.  
 
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
