I stay 95 percent clear with a regimen of BP and Tazorac. The problem is once every 3-4 weeks, I get a giant, underground cyst or nodule that leaves a pitted scar. I am also almost 26 and tired of following ridiculous skin care routines. Because of my age, my doctor told me that I can go on Accutane whenever I want.
The only thing that I am worried about is the initial breakout as I am doing everything I can to prevent more scars. I read that initial breakouts aren't that common but it seems like EVERYONE on this forum has a severe breakout that lasts for weeks if not months.
Does anyone have any tips to prevent this from happening? Should I request prednisone or an antibiotic like Bactrim?
I did not have an initial breakout when I started. I was told that it does not happen to everyone and not to worry or think it would happen to me. I stayed positive. Bought products to prepare me for the side effects and I am doing great! Ia m thrilled and have not had a breakout since I started. Old breakouts cleared up. it took a good month but it was because it really dried those troubled areas up. Accutane is your only hope if you tried everything else. I am doing great and my side effects are minimal. I would do it again. Just make sure you wash 2x per day and have a good moisturizer. I use Neosporin Eczema Cream which is new.
