Yeah... I've tried all of the OTC acne meds; it's really annoying. They all seem to work for a couple weeks and then stop. I had the same problem pre-T too, but it's only gotten worse.
I started taking beta carotene yesterday, so I'm hoping that will help. I want to stay away from accutane (the prescription med that's supposed to help the most) because of the horrible side effects (liver damage, kidney damage, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, and a bunch of other bad stuff). Next step is antibiotics, I guess.
I don't have too much of a problem with aggression, really, which is good.
