Hi My name is Claudia I'am 22. I started getting acne around the 6th or 7th grade and never stopped. My parents didn't have the resources to take me to a derm. I finally went about a year and a half ago and just paid for everything myself. i was put on doxycycline which ended up not doing anything for my skin. I went again recently and was put on another antibiotic cephalexin and ketoconazole with clinamycin and tretinoin gel. I've been on this for 2 weeks with a little improvement. I have another 4 weeks to go.

My concern with my current meds are they're only combating the bacteria. My skin is still extremely oily and still gets clogged up. I don't have much faith in it but am gonna stick to it anyways. I'm almost positive that this will not resolve my acne just gonna have to try everything until something gives me results..its just so frustrating after so many years living with this that I'am only now beginning the process :/
