Hello, Im a 17 year old male and have been suffering from acne for the past 3 years. I have tried everything on the market from topicals to minocycline and even ran a course of accutane. Unfortunately nothing has worked and its gotten to the point where i dont want to go to school or go out in public. Accutane managed to get rid of my acne for about 3 months. and its back and worse than ever. I am starting another cycle beginning next week but am afraid it will provide little to no help like last time. Not to mention the side effects were awful. Any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey mate, I feel you. Suffered with cystic acne for probably 3 years as well. Had really rough times with it, especially finding the confidence.
You didn't mention anything about your diet. So I would advice you to cut acne trigger foods ( which are mainly dairy, artificial sugars and caffeine). I'm not gonna advice much for topical stuff, because they are individual. But I am using set from Laroshe Posay (great brand) and benzoyl peroxide gel.
The problem with accutane not being effective is that it just freezes your acne. But once you stop using it, acne comes back. That is probably because the main cause of your acne is not eliminated (which is gut in many cases). People with acne ussually have sensitive gut (so am I), so try to take care of it by eating right.
hope this helps , best of luck
also look into food which are anti-inflamation. such as omega 3, olive oil and green tea.
Too much sugar and dairy cause inflamation. Inflamation triggers pimple formation.
