Women adult acne

Hello guys,

I have read your stories and can feel pitty for all of us.
I am in my middle thirties and have had Acne for more than 20 years. I thought I got them under control.
I came to the States 5 years ago, in Russia, I was treated by a beautician, and it worked OK.
Here it got worse, I saw a derm, he put me on minocin and bactrim. Bactrim worked but for a while. As soon as I got off, Acne came back. I tried topical Antibiotics , like Zynerit (I got it in Russia). It healed my back and it is clean right now.
Currently, my face is a disaster. It has red nodules that sore in addition to white heads that are not on the surface of my skin.
I went to see a physician and he prescribed to me topical Antibiotics clindamicin and Retin-A.
I realize that it is not solution to my problem. I agree with those of you who suggests body cleaning.
I have been spending so much money on all those treatments and it is OK if it worked, but it doesn't.
Please, if you are in your 30s and have this problem before, share with me your story.
Now, I have mh regrets that I did not become a beautician.
Good luck to all of you.
L, just a woman
