Hello everyone,
So this is basically my story with acne and i could say that i have spent so much money on treating my skin that i could go with it to uni twice . Please ignore any spelling and grammar mistakes .
I've tried everything out there from antibiotics , benzel peroxide , sulphur , AHA, nicotinamide . I even tried plus dye laser, and the final thing i tried was accutane .
I took 20 mg twice a day for 6 months and my acne completely cleared up . But 3 months later and now my facial acne is back . I'm now at uni and i feel very insecure specially that im an international student and everyone around me seems to have perfect skin . I just don't know what to do anymore. My hormon levels are balanced and my diet is super healthy and clean .
Any suggestions ?

Unless you're willing to spend time playing around with more acne treatments. Then the harsh reality is that you will probably end up on accutane again. Perhaps, if you found it returned so fast when you came off it, you could suggest to your derm about going on a low "maintenace dose". I don't have much experience with accutane myself, apart from crying in the doctors office for a prescription (lol we have all been there), but i've heard that term being thrown around the boards a bit.
Good luck 🙂
