If your acne problem is serious, you definately have to see a dermatologist.
In milder cases, the following tips may help you prevent acne.

1. Never Ever touch or pick your pimple.It only makes it worst.

2. Clean Skin thoroughly twice a day with a mild soap. After washing your face in the morning, wash it with a solution of 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 drops of lemon juice in half a glass of water. In the evenings, dab tea-tree oil on the affected areas after washing your face. Be sure to moisturize with a basic facial unscented moisturizer.

3. Wash your hair often. Oily hair can increase oily buildup in the skin. Better yet, keep your hair out of your face.

4. Applying ice onto your acne will bring down the swelling and the redness. Toothpaste works too. Put it over the pimples or acne areas and leave it on for as long as desired. Wash off with cold water and the acne should have diminished or gone.

5. Sleep on a cotton pillowcase! Brushed or jersey cotton works best at absorbing excess oil, which in turn will help reduce spots. And because of this, you will need to change your pillowcase often.

6. Drink at least 8 glasses of water.

7. Quit smoking! It is bad for your health anyways.

8. Change your diet. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and fibre! Avoid refined sugars and fatty foods.

9. Limit your exposure to the sun and reduce the stress in your life.

10. And lastly don't be self conscious! Relax, and have fun.

Good luck and have some perseverance! All the hard work will pay off!
