How long does it take for acne to clear up? Is my treatment not working?

I%26#039;m 5 weeks into my treatment for acne which involves;


- Washing my face in the morning and night with AC Benzac Wash


- Taking 1 50mg minomycin tablet in the morning and 1 at night


- Applying differin at night.





The treatment of my acne was going okay until 3 days ago when I decided to eat Red Roosters 2 burgers and 1 large fries. Since then to be honest the acne has never been this worst in some areas. One side of my chin has cleared up but left so much pigmentation whereas the other side of my chin has so many pimples and its never been like that before. Now when i blow my face, I can see about 7 white bumps popping up along with bumps around my face. Could it be that the cleaning out process of previous pimples is still occuring or do you think that this is due to the fast food I ate 3 days ago? Its been 5 weeks so I don%26#039;t know what to do. The way I see it is that it won%26#039;t get any better and once all the other pimples have gotten out of my system, ill be left with pigmented skin|||Truth is, all the medication in the world won%26#039;t work if you eat foods that exacerbate the problem.





The medications are designed to help control the problem, they won%26#039;t rid you of it. Only time will do that.





Stay away from the greasy foods.|||My guess would be that it is not from the food, it is more than likely the medicine cleaning you out and raising all of the crap to the surface. However, if you touched your face alot while eating the food, some of the grease could have irritated your face. It wouldn%26#039;t be from consuming it, though! Good luck to you.|||keep going w/ your treatment. it is not from the food. acne can take several months to clear up. the pigmentation will improve w/ time.|||It takes time for your face to clear up. It sounds like they put you on a good regimen for your acne. Drink plenty of water and stay out of the sun if you can. Some of those acne meds will tell you about being in the sun for too long.|||The best treatment in the elimination of acne is to clean the skin by some medicated cleansers.


A cleanser removes the sweat, make-up, accumulated oil and dirt on the surface of the skin.


These cleansers makes easy for the topical acne treatments to absorb in the skin and too much use of these cleansers can result into irritated dry skin. So, these acne cleansers should be applied only once and twice daily.


Vigorous washing and scrubbing the skin can make the acne worse.
