Any type of topical regimen needs a 3 month break in period before you should expect to see positive changes. If after 3 months you are not improving, time to adjust or change things.

I am sorry that you are going through this - it honestly sucks. Are you taking any muscle gainers that may have dairy or hormones in them? Dairy is notorious for bringing on acne for some so Whey can be a big no-no. Sometimes excessive workouts can exasperate issues as well.

Look at the info from the site and hopefully you'll find something that helps.

Regarding accutane, it should be a last resort after you've tried several topicals, antibiotics (which i would not recommend) and diet changes.

Good Luck in your search
