Acne in a female

 I am a 29-year-old female and have had bad acne all my life, I have tried many medications, but nothing works. Anything you can suggest?

Sure, try a birth control pill. The oral contraceptives can help settle down your acne. You may need to take the pill for a few months. Note that these pills will make you gain weight- so be sure to walk. If the birth control pills fail, then see a skin doctor and ask for a retinoid.
