[Acne] I am feeling hopeless, need some positivity and help.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
(Sorry for the long post I would really appreciate some help, I really am lost right now. :( (Pictures of my acne below) Alright first let me show you some pictures of my skin earlier this year in march (first picture) and now what it looks like (second picture and third): http://imgur.com/a/HjCL9 To give you a little bit of a back story I have never been confident about my skin even in the first picture, which now I take for granted. I really don;t know what happened, maybe puberty or hormones as I turned 16? I can never stop thinking about how bad my skin looks now, that is literally all I ever think about and I avoid mirrors and being right beside people because I can't stand it. I feel sad, hopeless a little depressed. Also, my skin is always very red and makes it look worse, so I try using a sebum lotion thing to sooth it, but god knows if that does anything. as Now let me run you down with what I do to try and help my skin or make it worse, I really don't know. In the first picture my routine was: Morning and night: wash with spectro gel, sometimes tone, maybe benzaclin gel or nothing, then just moisturize. Now-a-days my routine is all over the place because I can't decide on what works best. I just recently visited the dermatologists and he said that it shouldn't scar too bad. In the second picture it looks a lot worse than what it really was but I want to over exaggerate it. That was after a fresh wash, toning and applying some benzaclin. That brings up another question I have. My skin is rather really dry, so I put on moisturizer, but then it gets extremely oily so I rinse my face with water and it gets dry again. Man this sucks. Anyways, my routine now isn't 100% the same everyday. Usually, in the morning I will wash my face with just water, then apply some benzaclin. At night, I will rather wash my face with a neutorgena anti-acne cleanser or just regular soap, tone depending how dry it feels, apply tactupump gel (every other night) and then sometimes moisturize. I really don't know what I should be doing and I need help. The dermatologists wasn't very helpful as he didn't tell me what kind of acne I have, and really didn't run me down with that I should be doing exactly for my routine. Really my main concern is the scarring. It may look a lot worse in the pictures, but my skin is just very clogged with gunk everywhere. I tried exfoliating to help with that, but they all just fill up the next morning. The redness as I said makes it look a lot worse than it is. I really don't want it to scar and it sucks because I didn't have any of this earlier in the year, just a little bit. Thanks for reading all this and I would appreciate the help. Have a good day.
