Ive been on epiduo for around a month now. overall it has made my face much worse than i began with. My dermatologist wants to put me on accutane but I'm hesitant about getting on it because of all the nasty side effects. I've already taken bactrim before and have heard that its similar to accutane with all the side effects and had no trouble with it. How much longer do you guys think i should wait this out before turning to accutane?

Give Epiduo between 3 to 4 months. If there is no CONSISTENT and STEADY improvement, accutane is something to consider. Antibiotics long term are very damaging to the body so beware of that.

 

 

And with epiduo, it will get worse before it starts to get better

 

Good Luck

Do you think longterm use of antibiotics are more hurtful than 1 complete course of accutane?
