What To Do For Pimples And Acne?

Hello, I am trying to find something that will help my son and his acne. At just 15 his breakouts were manageable but the closer he gets to 15 he now has full blown acne. His whole face is red with pimples. His father had acne and his father before him also had acne and the only thing that would help was tectrocycline. Is there something today that will help him. He is so subconcious he walks and talks with his head down. He is very upset. I will wait for your answer. His father is passed away and we can t afford insurance. Sandra Peters
