I would go to a dermatologist. Like the last reply said, the health department can help you, or sometimes, if you find a really nice doctor, he can set you up on a payment plan. And if the doctor gives you a prescription, ask for samples. Do not be ashamed to ask for samples. It will save you a lot of money, and they get them free anyway! Also, I heard about a series of shots that you can get for severe acne. Supposedly, you take them over a peried of seven months or a year, or something like that, and you are cured for life. I haven't looked into that, so it might be rumor, but it is a good one. Good luck, I am so sorry that you have to go through this.
