medicines for pimples - #14345

Yuvan

I am having a really tough time with these annoying pimples that just won't go away. They seem to pop up outta nowhere, and it's starting to affect my confidence, y'know? I was on some over-the-counter stuff for a while, thinking it would help, but I guess those medicines for pimples didn't do much – or maybe I just didn't give them enough time? Last week, I went to see a dermatologist who prescribed me some topical creams and also mentioned considering antibiotics, but now I'm not surem, are those really necessary? I read about natural remedies too, like tea tree oil and all that, but I'm not too sure how effective those are compared to conventional medicines for pimples. What really gets me is I see so many ads for these "miracle" medicines for pimples that promise quick results, but idk if I should trust that. Just last night, I felt super frustrated after trying a new product and waking up to more breakouts! I'm just kinda overwhelmed and would love any advice. What medicines for pimples have actually worked for you all? Or are there any side effects with the stuff the doc prescribed? Ugh, really just want clear skin at this point!
