I have recently finished a 5 month course of accutane(1 week ago). I can honestly say it was the worst experience of my entire life. I have not had any active acne for at least two months, but have very bad red marks especially on my cheeks. This is a huge blow to my already bottomed out self esteem. My derm has given me a prescription for 50 mg minocycline, but i don't know if it's a good idea to take it. Because i haven't been off of the medicine for very long i can't do chemical peels or anything, so i feel 100 percent completely helpless. Everything i have ever read says to just give it time, but i truly no longer have the patience. If anyone has any suggestions or comments i would love to hear them
