Hey guys, 
Right now i am experiencing probably the worst skin condition of my life, my doctor has given me Klacid 500mg (a strong antibotics) for around 7 weeks  now and said I might need to start on Accutane if that doesnt work for me.
My skin was perfect while I was studying in Switzerland and once I got back to Hong Kong, I have non stop breakouts for over half an year. 
My acne is not at all severe, its not cyst acne, just a lot of whiteheads/blackheads/small pimples and that. (like serisouly, A LOT!!!!) Its's so gross and I am so sick and tired of all the people, my parents and friends telling me how terrible my skin looks. I am so scared about my mum would find out my breakout (her criticism meant well tho) , I can't go back home without wearing a face of makeup.
I am afraid that once I stop my antibotics my acne will come back (that did happened before), and at the same time I am really scared about all the side effects I learnt and initial breakout period of Accutane. I am already so depressed about my skin :( and do want to get a permanent fix,  yet I dont feel like I need such a harsh drug like Accutane. 
I know a lot of u guys  got it worse than I do, and honestly I do think I over worried a lot. I know I am acting like a baby:( But it really hurts me whenever I look back to my old photo and remember how happy I once was.
Do you think I should start on Accutane or is there other things I can try? Anyway I hope everyone get their skin problem solved one or anther, I honestly hope no one have to go through that much insecurity and shame about themselves.

I think you really need to give the regimen a serious try. I think it would clear you up completely and quickly! Can you get regimen products where you are?
