Ok, so I'm very new here (first post). I've had severe acne for a few years now, and went on roaccutane for 10 months last year to try and clear it up. It did its job, eventually, and got rid of the worst of it. Apparently I was the one in however many that it manages to mess up to begin with.

I came off it last September, and from there to February, my skin was great. All the marks were fading, no problem with any spots and I was feeling great. Unfortuantely, around mid-feb I started to notice the red marks coming back, and a couple of cysts start up on my neck (that was where it was worse). We're now in May, and the red marks are back to what they once were, with the spots appearing every morning again. My back isn't bad, it doesn't seem to be reverting back too badly now, but its definitely worse off.

Since the end of February I've tried lemon juice on my skin and taking some homeopathic Sulfur from Boots (30C). These have both had some success, but it seems to be slowing it down rather than making it better. I've included a couple of photos for you to see. My face was COMPLETELY clear just a few months ago. Don't know if it makes any difference, but the red marks are showing up in the places that I remember them to be.




Any suggestions would be great, especially permanant ones! It's a bit disheartening to have it degrade so quickly after working so hard.

Thanks

P.S. Oh, and for any of you who think it may be diet or something, that's not the case. I eat well, exercise regulary and don't wear make up (I'm a guy). Nothing's changed since when I came off Roaccutane to now, so I don't think its something I'm doing wrong!
