Acne.org Products
So I'm 2 month in at 100mg and the left side of my face which is the better side has broken out in cyst like bumps on my inner left cheek. This is in addition the dozen small bumps around my mouth and chin and papules and pustules. Things just seem to be getting worse and worse.
Could use some encouragement and perspective....
It seems like my second month on Sprio was when the left side of my face started getting really bad! Maybe it's just a side effect of the medicine. I'm 3 1/2 months in and it's calmed down a little in the past 2 weeks but every few days I'll get a cystic pimple and then it will go away and then a new one will come up. I also noticed that I have tiny little bumps all over my skin, which I didn't used to have. They're not white or black heads and they're not red, they're just textured little bumps on both cheeks and my chin. Maybe that's a side effect too. Just keep at it and try not to get discouraged! And make sure you're drinking plenty of water!

Thank You for the response! It's hard as I am getting cystic stuff on my left cheek which rarely breaks out in that kind of acne. And it all started in the span of a week or so. The only new thing I started was zinc and so I stopped. I feel really crappy about it. I just entered my second month on this drug (day 60+) so I'm hoping you're right that in a few more weeks I will see some improvement,
Hoping and Praying
I've heard it can take up to 6 months to work, which sucks, but so many of the reviews for Sprio rave about it. Pretty much every review I read, said it worked for them. That's the only thing that keeps me from wanting to try something else. I plan on staying on this for about a yearand if I don't see a big change, I'll try something else. We've just gotta be consistent and hopeful!
