Hi,

 

22 Year old male with mild to moderate acne on my face, Mainly whiteheads and red bumps along jaw line and around mouth and chin.

Been going on for around a few years now, Tried antibiotics like erythromycin, tetralysal done both courses for 8 weeks and no improvement. Tried creams and topicals like Duac, Zineryt done nothing but make my skin drier and redder. Tried most OTC treatments with no improvement so now i'm stuck at a dead end.

 

Got doctors appointment tonight with my GP and want him to refer me to the Dermatologist as this has gone on long enough and it is stopped me from going about my normal day life, e.g working, meeting new people, low self esteem , i barely leave the house anymore and considering i used to be soo out going and done nightclub work it has effected me hugely.

 

Whats the chances i would be moved onto accutane due to the effect it is having on my life in general?

 

Thanks

Mason

Hi,

Just been prescribed Erythromycin for mild acne on my chin and cheeks. Its been going on for about 6/8 months now and i have been using sunbeds to clear my skin up every now and then.

How long would this antibiotics take to work? i have a 1 month course at present.

What side effects should i expect? E.G more breakouts first few weeks, sickness etc etc.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Regards

Mason
