fayegal 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Hi everyone am new on here. Just interested to find out who has been to a dermatologist? Did you get refrred to one by your GP or did you find one off your own back? I have had acne since I was 15 (26 nearly now) so about 11 years have suffered with it. I have tried soo much stuff off my GP in the past and none of it ever worked! I finaly went on Dianette as a contraceptive and acne treatment and it worked wonders! I then fell pregnant on it, had lovely skin through my preganancy and almost a year to the day after the birth of my daughter its back!! Went back to GP and he has put me on tetralysal and also a night gel. I have been on this for a month and no improvement, infact it's worse! Going back on dianette is not an option for me. The GP wants to see me 2 months time to see if it has worked. If it does not work, which I don't think it is, can I asked to be referred to a dermo????

liquids 2 Posted November 29, 2009 Have you tried Tazorec, Retin-A, or Finacea? These 3 medicines usually help the most for average acne sufferer and can all by bought generic online. Finacea worked best for me. http://www.acne.org/messageboard/education...ea-t152646.html I also recommend taking a high vitamin-A dose for a few weeks to see what happens such as 10,000 IU daily Vit-A really slows down acne. Anyhow good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fayegal 0 Posted November 29, 2009 I tried the retin a years ago. The GP gave it to me, my skin peeled, went sore and very red but never cleared the acne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
