So I am back again after a failed Tetralysal 300mg course. I ended that course in the beginning of February and today I was at a skin specialist (waiting time was around 2½ month) and we talked much about accutane. Since I have mild acne today there was a slight concern of either to perscribe it or not but he did not say 100% no. The problem was I need to do a antibiotic course with a local treatment in order to leagaly be able to get accutane. My last antibiotic course with Tetralysal 300mg had no local treatment, I just used water.

I told 'em that I did not want to use BenzoylPeroxide or any other cream for that matter because I did not want to compromise with less outbreaks vs red skin. Anyway since there was a dead end to accutane before I try this there was not much I could do or say. The only positive side is, if this do not help it seems I will be getting accutane (which is comforting).

I just don't know if I am going to use Epiduo or Differin, I got both perscription so I can pick whatever I feel like. I am slightly leaning towards Epiduo since I have already tried Differin once before but at the same time I want to stay away from BensoylPeroxide. In any case I will start the antibiotics today and on Friday night I will try some cream.

Update:
I will use Epiduo.

  • Cleansing will be only water for now. I am cleansing with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and using Ole Henriksen moisturizer. Cleansing again with only water + Olay Complete SPF 15 Sensitive Skin (A.M. and P.M.)
  • I use Jojoba oil as a shaving cream/oil when I am shaving (usually every third day). I use Gillette Series Shave Gel, Pure & Sensitive now instead. I feel I get a even better shave then with Jojoba oil, and I can pick it up locally without the need of ordering it online.
  • Ery-Max 250 mg (Erythromycin) :: Two pills twice a day.
  • Using Epiduo before bed time every day.
  • Taking ABCDE and Zink suppliment every day.

Starting date antiboitic: April 22, 2009
Starting date local treatment: April 22, 2009
Estimated time: 3 month

Well it is a bit lousy when all other Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland may import it but Sweden don't allow it. Is there a way around it or is there any Swedes here that have tried order it or any person in my neighbour countries that know anything?

STATUS: ABORTED
I talked to my doctor after three month of usage and we agreed to cancel this. If I am lucky I will get accutane instead. Thanks for the comments in this threads.

----

Starting acne status:
Mild to almost moderate

Age:
21

History:
Benzoyl Peroxide 5% and 10% (3 month)
Differin (3 month)
Tretinoin 0.05% (7 month)
Vitamin B5 (6 month)
Zinc (2 month)


^The only thing that improved my skin was Tretinoin, but it could just as well been the Vitamin B5 since I was using it the same time, but it never cured it completely.

Today I am pleased to try something completely new, and by new I mean something that is not a cream but a pill. I am not sure of what to expect, if it was accutane I would know better of what to expect and how well it works.

I have stopped using my cleanser and moisturizer and going out "clean" by just using water in the morning and night. I will use moisturizer if I really need to. I will take Tetralysal twice a day, starting tonight! eusa_dance.gif
