Hello Hope,
Yes, there are a lot of suggestions. First, antibiotics are really only helpful in cases of infection. Does your doctor think that your acne is related to infection?
Acne can be related to infection and one way to help that is simply to be clean. But soaps, creams, etc. etc. can clog pores. The simple thing to do is to wash with hot water on a clean towel every night and sleep on clean pillow cases.
Acne is also hormone related. If you suspect this the first thing on the list of things to try is Saw Palmetto (start with 1000mg three times per day and can go as high as 2000mg three times per day), especially if you have an NBE program going. I won't go into the other herbs because it is important to try this one first. Also take flaxseed oil, 1000mg three times per day. Do not use EPO. Use borage oil instead in order to get GLA.
Take a multivitamin which has plenty of vitamin A (especially topical) and vitamin C. Get plenty of direct sunlight. Get plenty of exercise. Avoid sweets and soda pop as the sugar will also cause acne.
