Hi everyone,
I'm female, at her early 20s and have been on the regime for 1 year now. During that period I had the best skin (had acne since i was 15) I was finally clear! But couple of days ago, I started breaking out, really badly. I wake up with 2-4 new pimples everyday.
Desperate, I went to consult my dermatologist and he placed me on 2 weeks of tetracycline (250mg, 3 capsules each day) and 1 week of prednisolone (5mg, 3 pils each day).
Has anyone experienced the same before? Does B.P stop working after a period of time?
I always make sure that I'm eating healthy, I DO NOT consume any dairy products, no fast food, no sodas etc. I do not smoke or drink either. I also make sure that I have sufficient amount of sleep. I also FOLLOW strictly to the regime instructions. I make sure to follow the steps rigidity.
I am unsure to why I am getting these breakouts. Someone help please!
I dont wear makeup at all nor do I touch my face. Perhaps I might have done that while I was asleep but how would that contribute to this amount of breakouts? I change my pillow case regularly too.
I am just hoping this breakout will clear up soon, really tempted to pick them (especially those with pus!) ugh

Any new stressors in your life?
There have been reports of users having the same thing happen. Whether its 6 months or a couple years after first use. I don't know much about it but if your doing EVERYTHING the SAME, then evidently something isn't right. It must not be effective on your skin anymore and I have no further advice on this topic. Sorry to hear but yeah, 4 pimples a day is a lot compared to having clear skin every day you woke up for a year.
Not uncommon at all to experience occasional breakouts on the Regimen even after being clear. Consider also adding 30 mgs of zinc to your diet and a good omega 3 fish oil. This can really help calm inflammation from the inside out. Since you're avoiding dairy, be sure you're still getting enough calcium from nondairy sources, as a deficiency here can trigger an inflammatory response. Antibiotics are great for calming down a flare-up but are not a permanent solution, so consider finding other ways to help keep inflammation down.
Hope this is helpful!
