text: pimples??? i have been to a skin doctor, that didn't work, i have tried proactive, that didn't work either. is there any way to get rid of my acne fast? i feel like i've tried everything. are there any easy "at home cures" to acne? watch what you eat. a lot of acne is caused by your diet. once you figure out how your skin reacts to certain foods, it helps a lot.  also, when i had this problem, my doctor put me on a low-dose birth control pill. it really helped to clear it up.
