Hey all,
I've been doing the regimen for about three months now and have seen some great results in terms of whiteheads. However, I still get inflamed red pimples that have left more marks on my face than before I started. In addition, my face has been swolen, dry and flakey, but I have noticed a lot of people keep telling me my face is swollen as hell. I'm thinking I'm allergic to the Bp, even though I've become used to the full dosage. I've been on every antibiotic pill and every topical known to man, and none of it has helped like the Bp. Tonight I got my family's support, and I think I'm going to attempt a run at accutane. Tomorrow I'll ask my doctor, but for now I think I'll have to slowly ween myself off of dkr due to the swelling. I'd like to thank you all for the support, and I'll keep everyone posted on the topic. Thank you all

or, you know, quit cold turkey immediately - you will break out, yes, because youre not treating the acne with anything (nothing to do with quitting suddenly that makes no difference). If youre having an allergic reaction to it then slowly weening yourself off is only going to prolong your pain and swelling, i fail to see the logic - do yourself a favour and stop using it immediately (think any doctor/derm would say the same thing).
