I struggled with acne for several years until finally my dermatologist suggested I try Accutane. It worked, and I no longer have acne. However, I’ve been left with scars. All types… it was painful enough to suffer through the acne and NOW I have the scars. It never ends! Anyway, does anyone have suggestions for making them less noticeable?
I was 16, had some bad acne, so i took accutane and it worked 100% after the cycle all acne was gone. But about 6 months later it came back, so now im on it again. After this cycle will my acne be gone forever??????
Also, would i have a better chance of getting rid of acne if i just ride out the storm? Is accutane just delaying my body’s way of taking care of acne??
Im 17 now, I dont want acne in my 20’s!!!
I have looked around and I was wondering what the best acne treatment is besides prescription meds like accutane. I have sorta bad acne, and I just hate walking into a room and being the only one with it. Please answer what you experienced as the best solution to ance. Thanks!
My acne’s been steadily getting worse since I got off accutane last year, and going back on it isn’t an option. I would like to know what your best experience has been with a solution to acne, anything from prescriptions to something you whipped up at home.
I suffered from severe acne, but I recently got off accutane which basically cleared everything up. But now I am left with scars on my cheeks. They look like little craters. There are a lot of them and I want to have really smooth, clear skin! How do I get rid of them? Please give me home remedies and type of medicines I can buy over the counter. Thanks in advance!
I was just wondering what type of medicine worked to help get rid of your acne?? Also if you have used accutane, did it work and how long does it prevent breakouts from starting again?
I got off of Accutane about two months ago, and it really cleared up my skin. However, now my skin is dull, has almost a rough feel to it, and weird pigmentation in some spots. Has anyone in a similar situation used any type of derm method that has helped with this? I’ve read about microdermabrasion, peels, etc, but I’m not sure what would work best in my situation. Thanks.
I have been breaking out a lot lately and my doctor said he can give me accutane if i want. I am kind of nervous to take it because i have heard bad things. I am just looking for people who have taken it so they can share their experience with it.
People who say that acne is from food are wrong. I eat really well and i drink tons of water.
I know that acne treatment gels are made to use as spot treatments on existing acne,,, but would it be reasonable to put a thin layer on an area of your face that doesn’t currently have any pimples, but you know that it’s acne prone?
p.s. i don’t have bad skin, just occasional breakouts. so I am not looking into accutane….
I have really severe acne (cystic) and doctor prescribed me oral antibiotic( minocycline ) a month ago but seem like my skin still getting cystic acne over time.I would like to try to ask my doctor to prescribe me Accutane. Is anyone out there have been taking Accutane and work for ya? Let me know thanks!!
