Microdermabrasion Hell

Posted by Pillbug, 25 August 2012 · 356 views

Hello everyone! It finally happened...
I finally got the skin I *used* to shudder at the thought of---the kind of skin that made me thank my lucky stars that MY acne wasn't THAT BAD. :(. Yep...my entire face erupted in cystic acne and it is all thanks to microdermabrasion.  

UGH!
It all began in June when I foolishly sought laser resurfacing to get rid of all the post acne markings on my face. No--it didn't magically peel away my skin to reveal clear baby-like skin (like it was marketed to me) but it wrecked my complexion and made my skin really oily and broken out in places I never worried about.  I was devastated and my skin Doc was disappointed that my skin was in bad shape so they threw a microdermabrasion session my way in July claiming g it would unclog my pores and get rid of the breakouts I was experiencing.  HAH!!! The very next day, my acne multiplied and just got worse and worse.  It's now August and I've been On 100 mg of Doxy and 50mg of Spirolactonane  for one month. No improvements yet...in fact, I noticed worsening but I heard the first month can be brutal. (IT HAS SUCKED!) I just want to hide:(

Today I got a refill of 100mg of Doxy & bumped up to 100mg of Spiro.  Wish me luck!




Good luck. I am now on 100mg spiro too. Even though it was a failure you were brave to try laser and micro.
Thanks Moxi--I'm more pissed that I paid THOUSANDS for really awful skin. Totally sucks! I'm determined to stick with the doxy/spiro combo even tho the red blaring bumps all over my face haven't been going anywhere. I promised myself to tough it out to at least 3 months---I really hope it starts working soon though :(
