Im 16. Ive had acne for 4 years now and im so sick of it. To me its pretty bad. I was wondering if is bad enough for accutane? Ive been on doxycycline for 8 months and its done nothing. Its actully gotten worse and i am breaking out bad. Ive tried retin- a and epiduo and it didnt help at all. Ive tried so many face washes from the stores and nothing works. I also have it bad on my back and a little on my chest. I get made fun of so much and i really want somthing that will clear it.
Talk to your dermatologist on what you think you should do. Personally, before you do any changes (such as Accutane), you should change your diet to see if it gets better. Try to drink/eat less dairy, drink plenty of water (I noticed difference with alot of water consumption), eat/drink less sugar (use water as a juice substitute), sleep well at night, and find food triggers to your acne. It may take some time to see improvement, but it honestly does help. If all else fails, go to the dermatologist and take appropriate steps.
Good luck!
