It's common for acne to come back after an Accutane cure, in fact it has happened for me all three times I've been on Accutane. Absolutely zero difference in the long run, in fact I've had my worst bout of acne ever just a month ago at the age of 32, 7 years after my last Accutane run. It's no guaranteed permanent cure, sadly.

It looks like your diet is a candidate for a test of the "low glycemic index (GI) diet". I recently switched to a no-sugar, low GI diet, and it has worked like magic. Results after just two days, not joking, and I am only getting a few tiny whiteheads, and my redness/scarring is healing. It rocks! Here are some threads for you to read:

To summarize, here is what I've done:

- No more candy or sugar-filled drinks, at all. No cake, sweets, chocolate, soda, etc.

- Massively reduced amounts of high GI / GL (glycemic load, the important statistic - google it) food such as bread, pasta, rice, cereal, potatoes

- Smaller portions of meals, more snacks instead (fruit and nuts). Optimally, you will want to never eat so much in one go that you get stuffed.

- Focus on meat and vegetables

- Be wary of processed food (often has added sugar) and cook yourself

Give it a try.

Paleo diet. Avoid dairy, grains, added sugar, legumes (peanuts included), eat meat, vegetables, fruits in moderation, and only consume whole or minimally processed foods.

This paleo diet bullshit didn't work for me.

The reason it came back is because you have terrible genetics, not because of your diet.

Something didn't work for you, so therefore it must not work for anyone, eh? A paleo-esque diet massively reduced my inflammation. It didn't solve the problem entirely, but it helped. In combination with accutane, I can see it being a powerful treatment.

People who suffer from acne may have genetic or epigenetic predispositions, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it. You attitude is defeatist and your opinion here doesn't have a lot of value. The original poster was asking for tips on diet.

I don't like people pushing fad diets that don't work. You even said that it didn't solve the problem. It probably only worked as a placebo for you at most.

Placebo? It reduced my cystic acne to pinhead bumps. That is not placebo. Just because it didn't cure my acne, doesn't mean it was useless. Reduced acne was one of many health benefits I enjoyed by abandoning my standard american diet.

Also, it isn't a fad diet. Paleo-like diets have been around for decades. Moreover, if it works, it doesn't matter.

Again, I'm not saying that this diet will cure anyone's acne. I'm saying that it helped me in a very noticeable way. What you're saying is that the diet will not help anyone, which is a much bolder statement than mine, especially considering that you have zero evidence for anything you've said. You're just denying assertions without providing any sort of reasoning.

hey

usually people take accutane for more than 4 months .....so that could be the reason

i was on accutane myself ...but stopped due to side effects (that's im still dealing with 2 months after) ....so im against taking accutane uless you have very bad acne and you run out of options

since i stopped accutane almost half way ...i did notice the return of acne ...so im trying to controle it trough diet .....read my posts

a

nd its working kinda good ....also after accutane the acne dont usally comes as bad as before

you can try and clean your diet and see if that helps ....if it didnt work ...at least you'll be doing your body a favor

if diet dont work ...look for other options ...just leave accutane as a last resort .....that's my advice ...and you're free to do what do you want

Yes! The accutane basically made your body worse. you screwed up.

What you want to do is check for food sensitivities. You have to find out what is wrong with your body. medicine does nothing for you but temporarily fix your problem, and screw up your digestive/immune system in the process.

And the #1 rule is NEVER listen to doctors! They have no clue what they are talking about. the ones that do know, often keep you in the dark so they can keep feeding you meds and get that money every time you visit.

I suggest seeing a naturopath. it saves you a lot of time.

im a medical student and i do agree ...doctors dont know everything ....i mean we tell patients what we been told ...but that doesnt mean its always true

like when doctors tell patients that this side effects cant be caused by accutane ...while there is millions suffering from the same side effect and took the same drug (accutane) i mean come on ....i do believe that we should hear what a doctor has to say but also do research on our own ...instead of just popping pills and puting lotions

i hope when i become a doctor (hopefully) i'll try to read and research everything i need ...not just follow what our textbooks says

sorry for my english

I understand that doctors are just following the agenda to sell pharmaceutical products for big pharmaceutical companies and the globalist elite ( Rothschild Zionists ), but to say, "They have no clue what they are talking about", is disrespectful. Doctors have 10 to 12 years of schooling and an average of 300k debt to get their degree. They studied their textbooks 10 hours a day till they couldn't open their eyes anymore. They know what they're talking about. Don't be ignorant now. Last time I checked they have an MD and you don't.

I sound very defensive because my sister is a physician (Orthopedic surgeon). God bless those doctors. They are the real heroes of America. When your mom needs to undergo a life-threatening surgery and her MD saves her, thank the MD. To many people hate on doctors because they can't "cure" every disease or "save" every life. They're not God or have omnipotent powers for Christ sake, they're human! Jeezus. Not until you've been in their shoes, please don't be ignorant and disrespect a physician.

Sorry, but it's the truth. When it comes to acne, most doctors either don't kmow what they are talkimg about, or are lieing to your face. All the doctors and derms I've gone to say it's hormones. Of course they said that whrn they knew I was young and ignorant.

If it's really ONLY hormones, then I guess it's a HUGE coincident that Countries on a "western diet" experience a devestating amount of acne cases VS 3rd world countries. What? Are they some other species that is immune to acne? And why wouldn't everyone who has hormones go through it then? It's total bullshit!

So in short, doctors who pescribe acne meds to solve the problem either don't know what they are talking about, or are lieing to your face.

I do realize it came out harsh in my previous comment. Not all doctors do it, but that's the majority. Kind of like corrupt police departments.
