I'm really struggling with acne, and it's been going on for about two years now. It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this. Why does this keep happening, and what can I do to finally get rid of it?

-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.
