Hey all,
I've struggled with cystic acne since I was 11 years old. I've been on countless antibiotics, accutane, spironolactone, prescribed acne spot treatments, over the counter stuff, supplements, drank ridiculous amounts of water... I feel like I've tried it all. The accutane helped for a while but I did get crazy acne scarring from it. I want to avoid going back on that stuff like the plague but my doctor seems to think it's my only option. Spironolactone helped for a while but I got off it as my significant other and I are trying to conceive and it's not safe for pregnancy.
Right now I'm trying:
Drinking lots of water
Chlorophyll supplements
Taking a baby aspirin
Panoxyl BP 10% face wash morning and night
BP 10% spot treatment at night
Anything else you'd recommend? My skin is like this on my back and chest also..
Hmmm. It's tough, and I sure don't know much about it. Accutane worked for me 30 years ago, but I think I was just lucky. Right now I'm taking my daughter to an esthetician after we got frustrated with the dermatologist's treatments (the derm was great just the treatments did not work). An estetician costs a lot, so I would definitely make sure you research to find a good one if you decide to try that. The one thing that you don't mention is whether you have tried eliminating dairy. I know a lot of people say that works and our esthetician says it helps 75% of her clients. My older daughter had only mild acne, but she was lactose intolerant, so never used much dairy while my younger daughter loves milk, so it makes me wonder if they both got the same bad genes and it was the dairy that made the difference. Anyway, I hope you find something that works for you.
How are you applying the BP? I'm just now, at 36 years old and having dealt with acne for over 20 years, realizing that I should have been applying BP to the whole area of my face that I get acne. For me, that's my chin and around my mouth, much like yours looks. Last month I started applying the BP all over my chin, even where I don't have any zits, and it's made a huge difference. Prior to this I only ever used it as a spot treatment
