Hey all,
im 32 years old, been battling with hormonal acne since I was 26, I had the nicest clear skin as a teen never had issues until 26 to present, ive done it all, changed products, visited dermatologist, did treatments NOTHING has worked. I even went to my doctor he gave me minocycline 100mg everyday yah worked when I first I started this over a year ago but then he tried to take me off of it my skin was clean (finally) didn't last long, I went back to 100mg everyday till now and im still breaking out specially around my jaw bone it's horrible, embarrassing I don't even want to go out I wanna hide at home, im worried because I want to start trying for a baby soon and im worried getting off these meds will make it even WORSE than what it is, im going back to my doctor to see if he can truly test me for "hormonal" issues and I am sure there is something I can take to fix this right? I hope? im so tired of this, i even changed my eating im vegetarian, any other female out there in the same boat as me? please contact me I feel like I can't talk to anyone about this because my friends all have great skin anddont understand where I am coming from =(
sincerely,
the stressed one.
A little update, I went back to my doctor yesterday and he increased my dose of Minocycline to 200mg everyday for one week then MONDAY/WED/THURSDAY 200 mg, the rest 100 mg I will do this for a month or so or two see how it goes, if not, I will need to go see a DERM or go back to chemical peels monthy or whatever, he say's looks like hormonal but cant be because I have zits on my face ALL MONTH LONG even on mino and using benz gel on my face, I just hope this new dosage works and I can remain clean like I did last year for months until he changed my dose down to 50 mg, I hope it clears and stays clear until I try for baby ( hopefully soon) but I will need to be off this, im going to start working out also, I hear working out can be great for acne (stress relieve also)
I evencut breads, dairy products, I drink lots of water and green tea (im trying everything to get clear skin) I take amulti vitamin sup and im a vegetarian (picky eater) anyone else around my age female experiencing this:?
I appreciate feedback and I am here to hear you if you need to talk!
*Try to stay positive, strong , it will get better*

Thank you, I will definitely try,!
my face is the worse it's been ever, even on 200mg of Minocycline for one week then im going to alternate 200mgM-W-Fand 100mg T-T-S, I HOPE this helps I hope my face is horrible because I started taking 200mg then it will get better, I also booked an apt with a great dermatologist here in Toronto, I hope they can do something I only see her in April 12th (I was lucky enough for the kind lady at reception to book me in April and not May) so I hope Mino starts to help again like it did a year ago until I see the Derma =(
so stressed and I am starting to feel depressed, I don't even want to go out or be seen in public my poor husband is hearing me complain everyday but he's been great support I just want to be happy and stress free again considering summer is coming up I want my clear face again =(
