Best foundation to use for acne + continuous acne problems?!?

at the moment I've been using acne solutions foundation from clinique. i went to this foundation after nothing but clogged pores from covergirl. i usually only have acne on my chin so i was hoping that clinique would help. at night i wash first with a neutrogena pore cleanser, then with a neutrogena green scrub, then st. ives blackhead fighter, then clinique's acne solution. i also have a solution from the dermatologist which i put on my acne spots every night. I've had acne since 6th grade... in the same spot. you can see frustration here. I also don't wash my face in the morning, don't get mad i'll explain in a minute. I clean off the solution from the dermatologist with a washcloth with water, then put on cliniques moisture surge. i also have dry skin in the morning and by the end of the day it is very oily. the reason i don't wash my face in the morning is because if i have a few zits on my chin, when i wash my face it will somewhat pop the zit and foundation over a newly popped zit is not good. plus the zit continues to still push out all the stuff in it. acne ruins my life and after a number of visits to the dermatologist, nothing works. HELP!

Got my 2nd round of Antibody testing back today and if you know about it please answer :D?

Ok so I have joint pain and anxiety that is the extent. I dont have fatigue or fevers or rashes or anything else like that. Dr decided about 4 months ago to do a complete blood panel on me as well as ANA testing. The ANA test came back postiive speckled 1:80 titer, sed rate of 25, RF negative, CK normal, Creat normal. So I went back and had them done again because of the ANA being positive. This time its ANA positive mixed pattern 1:40 titer, sed rate 25, RF negative, CK and Creat both normal, Anti-ssDNA 275 (high) and Anti-dsDNA negative or normal. They are referring me to a Rheumy but I am curious if anyone has had this mixture before. She told me if I had not had a previous positive ANA they would have considered the 1:40 titer as negative.

Are monocytes and macrophages antibodies?

Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes. They are not antibodies, they are cells that eat other (foreign) cells. Antibodies are molecules like IgA, IgM etc etc..
