Hi i have had acne since the beginning of freshman year of high school and its been bad ever since then, im so sick of the constant pimples i get everyday at least 2 or 3 a day and there hard pimples under the skin that take 2 or 3 days to come to the surface. im going to list all the things i have tried and i was wondering if you think a dermatologist would put me on accutane?

 

  • Epidou (when i first started getting acne)
  • Acanya (next step up)
  • Atralin ( gave to me when i got acanya)
  • Zinc Supplement
  • A medication from pocket derm (Tretinoid, Clindimaycin, and Azaleic Acid)
  • A medication from pocket derm (Ninacimine, Clindimaycin, And azaleic acid)
  • I am on Doxycline Hylcate 50mg (1 every 10 hours)
  • Also went vegan for a month which made no change in my skin at all..

im so lost on what to do do you think i would be a good candidate for accutane? :comfort:

 

Thanks so much

 

Jack :rolleyes:

Yep, u are an accutane candidate. If u have severe acne that is scarring or doesn't respond to other treatment (you), then accutane is an option.
