Sick of acne (warning with pics) what to ask for at GP

[DoorsAndWater]

Hi everyone,
I am embarrassed to post this but I don't know what to do anymore, I have spent a fortune on skincare over the years, I have tried everything from clearasil when I was younger (I am now 36) to Clinique 3 step, now to La Roche Posay, oil cleansing to skincare for sensitive skin, then acid toning... I have literally come to a standstill with what to do next. I have decided to finally go my GP but I don't know what to ask for but I am so sad and sick of the state of my skin, I've recently lost a lot of weight, thought It would make eye happy but I am still having to plaster my face in make every.single.day because I am so embarrassed about this acne I've now had for 20 years! I have always tried different routines for at least six weeks but nothing works! Can't anyone suggest anything or at least what I should be asking my GP for before I make an appointment. Please help, and thanks for reading!

Good luck at the GP,I'm sure they can help, there's lots they can do these days

Sorry haven't read the whole thread, so not sure if anyone has mentioned dairy as a problem - it's the proteins in dairy that can cause increase a hormone called androgen causing acne.

Update
For those that were kind enough to post their advice, I just wanted to post an update. I went to my GP and was prescribed zineryt, it has been amazing, my skin is much much clearer and along with some Bobbi brown skincare for dehydrated skin, i am finally wearing less make up and feeling good about my face!! So thank you all so so much for giving m the push I needed, the GP was lovely and said I should have gone sooner! Thank you all so much

Wow, that's an amazing difference. Really pleased for you
