Im just using evoclin. Ive used minocycline before. It didnt work and it upset my stomach every single time I took it. Thanks for comforting me. You must wub.gif me! I wub.gif you to wink.gif

Accutane is out of the question. Unfortunately, all retinoids are out of the question for me. I am one of those rare people who has gotten suicidal ideations from them.

Yeah evoclin is a topical but its an antibiotic. No I didnt overdose on accutnae. It just metabolizes differently for me I guess. Light therapies? Im wondering what I can do to prevent them from forming in the first place. I have been staying away from foods I am allergic to and I have been using a relatively mild cleanser. I dont know what else to do shrug.gif

Oh lol As you can tell I am very quick on the money! biggrin.gif

I really like the evoclin but I have this ugly nodule and a lot of pustules after not having that many for almost a full month sad.gif Staying away from dairy products has definitely helped. Now I think I need to start staying away from soy also. That could contribute to my rash Ive been having. Someone on the boards told me that but I forget whom. I really love the omega 3. I was hoping it would help with joint pain though and it really hasn't.

Klaron? Birth Control Pills?


I do not like the way birthcontrol pills make me feel. I am always tired when I am on them and they do not help my acne. I was on Yasmin for six months and it actually gave me cystic pimples

I actually like either the Vanilla Soy Milk or Almond milk (although its a bit pricey....). I used Oat Milk for awhile too.

The Vanilla Soy Milk is what I bought from Trader Joes. I didnt like the way it tasted at all but thats just me. Yuckerz!

My blackheads are worse today sad.gif My nose is covered with them, a hundred of them at least. This sucks

I like Silk too. I sometimes get Vanilla, sometimes the plain. It is a good brand of soy though.

Sigh Im depressed and stressed out. That doesnt help matters! I also had some m&ms yesterday and the day before. I am wondering if a combination of those two things caused the three pustules under my chin
