Clear all
Hi I use to have very bad acne during my teens but after years of face washes that made it worse and long corse of lymecycline's I eventually was treated using Accutane and that seemed to be the end of my problem.
3 Years later however and out of nowhere my spots have come back, and don't seem to be budging. Im now 24 and after being 3 years clear skinned, had moved away from the insecurities that come from having bad skin, so its a pretty big knock that they have come back. Strangely however they seem to only be around the mouth area, whereas before they would appear all over. Is there a reason for this??? Has this happened for any one else? I thought accutane had been a wonder cure... would greatly appreciate any advice on this and on what this could be / how I could sort it before i have to go back and visit my GP?
I have read about this fluoride in toothpaste thing and will defiantly give it a try.
Would this be the case if the toothpaste is touching areas around my mouth which are then becoming infected and inflamed or is a result of ingesting fluoride.
I am reluctant to give accutane a second try as the side effects were crippling for me, the subconscious side effect of having acne however are much harder to deal with.
Thank you very much for responding
