Hi all! I'm a 6'2'' 158lb 18 yr old male who is off to college in a week! I've suffered from mild acne since I was 16, and when it got moderate-severe I went on minocycline (100mg once a day) for 8 months WITH tretinoin 5% for topical at night or scarring. It worked...until the antibiotics wore off this past month makin my breakouts worse and worse! it may bepossible that I need to find new treatment.
are here any recommendations out there??? I don't want to jump to accutane especially because I'm going to college and drinking is a big part of the culture, but I don't know what else to try. I have an appointment with my derm next week before I leave...hopefully she has something that will clear me up soon
thanks all!
Hi there! First of all you would have to make a choice which would be to choose if you want to go with something OTC or something prescribed. If you really can't take it you could consider strong prescriptions like accutane, however, antibiotics did the trick for my severe cystic acne. The antibiotic that I found best of the 4 I tried out wassulfamethoxazole. However, if you want to try something OTC, tryClearasil Ultra-Rapid Action Vanishing Treatment Cream- it works wonders for sure and the results are visible within the first few nights. It's not too expensive either so giving it a shot isn't a bad idea. Good luck and I hope I've helped!
