I've never gotten acne until I started college. It started out with just a few, but now my entire face is covered with small zits and I've lost all will to live. I've used pretty much ever otc product and nothing is working. Why did god curse me?

Why do you care is the real question to ask? Do you have friends? If not it's not because you have acne. Do you have a girlfriend? If not it's not because you have acne (you probably would just have to go down a number or 2). No. It's your autism that is the real problem, it's glaring based on the fact you've lost your will to live based on a common mild physical deformity.
Better get on Spironolactone, OP. At least the only side effect you'll get is that you'll turn into a cute girl.

Anon, make sure you are tracking calories. Calorie increase usually begins around the start of college. Have you gained weight since starting college? Eat no more than 2200 calories each day, get 8 hours of sleep, don't touch your face at all, and use the acne.org regimen. Eating extra calories will increase hormones that cause acne. The exact same thing happened to me, clear skin all throughout the summer and then horrible skin the week college started. Now with the help of an antibiotic treatment and calorie tracking I am back to clear skin. Just look it up, impoverished people who only eat 1500 or so calories per day have 0 acne. Buy a prescription strength retinoid cream from an online pharmacy/black market and it will get rid of acne marks left behind. Best of luck to you anon!

it fucking hurts. every time you touch or move the skin.

Take cold showers and wash your bedsheets
The worst part is that when it's over you'll still be scarred to shit. People with clear skin CAN NOT be robots. People treat me as though I have leprosy.

Ask your doctor about accutane, and only accept if it it's the bargain brand (otherwise it'll cost ~$250/month rather than ~$20). It's basically the last resort to fighting acne, takes about six months but it significantly reduced my acne.

It may be caused by stress related to going to college. Does your acne get worse during finals?
I myself do always get real bad acne from stress.

My back, neck and chest are full of hypertrophic scars from past acnes. I don't have much now but the scars are still there and it might take years to fade.
Also if you suffer from hormonal acne, I suggest taking magnesium and zinc supplement. I've been taking it for two weeks and holy shit, my skins are way, WAY less greasy and all my scars are softer.

What was the need of mentioning you're a girl in this post

you did an 8 month cycle?

are you sure they're blackheads?
I thought so too but after a ton of research I found out that they're actually "sebaceous filaments", which are normal.
You can't get rid of them but you can reduce their size significantly by using some chemical exfoliator
