Hey so my skin was perfectly fine for a few years, I used cetaphil and Benzoyl Peroxide gel. Suddenly this year after a bad sun burn, as if it just stopped working, my skin developed some moderate acne.I have deepcysts and many little whiteheads that pop up where I've never gotten acne before. My doctor put me on Alesse, that made my periods worse, now I'm on Triquilar. They also gave me Tretinoin but it seems to have no effect/made it worse. Should I go see a derma? Anybody have any ideas why my skins even acting up in the first place. This is my graduating year (hs) and to have my face decide to turn against me was probably the worst thing to happen. I eat healthy, andwork out almost every day. Genetics and stress can play a component most definitely, but it's never affected me until this year.
Any ideas for treatment? Specific things I should ask from my doctor? I live in Canada if that helps.
I started breaking out senior year too, which sucks but I managed to graduate. The reason why you're breaking out on tretenoin is because it brings up all clogged pores, basically purges acne (correct me if I'm wrong people). Basically, it gets worse to get better. I'm on week two of it right now but I think I'm gonna stop using it because it makes my face way too sensitive. But you're supposed to break out when you first start using it
