Sensitive skin and severe acne problem, help!

Since you have sensitive skin you really should see a Dermatologist. We have
a lot of gentle prescription items that are topical antibiotics you can use
for your acne. We can also use oral antibiotics to treat your acne. Your
selection of over the counter treatments is very limiting. Usually it only
takes a couple of visits to the Dermatologist to get your acne under
control.

Over the counter products such as Proactiv are a good starting point.
Retin A and Glycolic acid based OTC products should also be tried.

If over the counter products are not working, you can try medications
from your dermatologist. These include prescription strength Retin A
products, antibiotics or even Accutane (in severe cases).

If medications are not working for you, then you may consider later
treatments and/or photodynamic therapy.
