Hi! I am new to this site so bare with me. I have persistent acne on my face, back, and neck. I, at first, tried Proactive's X-Out, which it did not help, then went to my primary peds doctor and she started me on Epiduo. It has helped a bit, I will not lie. I apply the Epiduo then put a layer of Cetaphil lotion for my face. My doctor told me that I should use Panoxyl for my back, and that also has not helped that much.
I want to know what you think my next best action is.....Seeing a dermatologist, asking my doctor for a different perscription, what meds are best to use, ect. What steps helped you?
Thanks!
Hi there...a course of tetracycline antibiotics might be the next step for you in combination with your topical treatment. I found antibiotics to be quite effective but not necessarily a permanent solution. Worth a try in my opinion. Your doc might be able to prescribe this for you. Good luck.
Benzoyl peroxide wash works very well for body acne 7.5 or 10% concentration works best. Plus, leave it on for 5 or ten minutes before rinsing it off. If its severe inflammatory acne then an oral antibiotic should be added.
How long have you been doing your current treatment? Maybe post some pictures
