Oh, I'm sorry to hear about this.  Skin problems are so emotional in nature too because of how we all are about our appearance.  But you are not alone.  When the health crisis blows over, seeing a dermatologist may be of benefit to you.  They do have things they can prescribe.  Retin-A is one of them.  Some women also have success going on birth control pills when they have adult acne.  Make sure your make up isn't contributing to the issue as well.  Here's a handy little slide show https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-adult-acne  Have you ever been to a dermatologist?

Have any of the doctors thought the problem was acute enough to prescribe Retin-A? I hear it's the best for really stubborn cases of acne.
