amanda1234 0 Share Posted November 30, 2008 hi guys,I'm on claravis (generic brand) for about 5 weeks now, taking 60mg pill a day. My Initial break out is terribleeeeeeee!!!!! It just won't end. The biggest problem I have are these teeny, tiny bumps that have been on my face forever turning into huge, monster cysts. It's getting so bad that every day I wake up with 3 new ones. I have a wedding to go to next week, is there anything I can do to somewhat calm the cysts down?? Is drinking a lot of water going to work??? Applying something on my face???PLEASE I NEED SOMETHING!!! I am so frustrated and sad about this...I was really looking forward to the wedding and dont want to not go because of my face.

big league chewbacca 0 Share Posted November 30, 2008 sorryim in the same boat. its funny, i can notice a tiny little bump on my face & know that 4 or 5 days later itll be a raging pimpleim not really sure what advice to givei think drinking a lot of water could help. i did that for a while but kind of stopped recently & i feel liek my IB is getting worsedrinking lots of water is good for you anyway, & considering yr skin is the biggest organ you have... well, it cant do anything but goodmaybe spot treat it? i dunno. i thought about spot treating mine & my derm said it was fine, but being as skin is really sensitive on accutane, i thought better of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lola189 0 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've founded out that crushed aspirin and any type of toner mixed together to form a paste works. Its pretty harsh so apply it just to the spot and not all over your face. It made my cyst go away in a couple days. Just put it on at night, I recommend non-coated aspirin pills and neutrogena toner for acne. Hope this helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max- 6 Share Posted November 30, 2008 First, forget about the wedding.Secondly, reduce your dose to 20mg per day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PLEASE I NEED SOMETHING!!! I am so frustrated and sad about this...I was really looking forward to the wedding and dont want to not go because of my face. I got creamed to. Go get some bactrim and knock that crap off your face. I never heard of it or I would of-Getting all scared up from the IB is nonsense. I remember performing my own surgery with a razor blade. Pop the bactrim and go to the wedding-I know there's a staff infection running around out there-bactrim is now the only treatment, so they don't want to push it-In this case go tell the derm to hit you with a months worth. You can take the tane and bactrim at the same time. Good Luck PS The rest of your face looks good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paper mario 1 Share Posted December 1, 2008 This topic is making me scared. It seems like a lot of people are still getting bad acne by their 4th or 5th month. I was hoping my actives would be gone by then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
