Hi all im new here,

I started taking accutane last year on September for 6 months course 40mg, after that my face was all clear and no more acne growing. My acne was just mild but it was persistent.

After 1 year since i started accutane, mild pimples are growing on my face. I started using cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and mosturizer morning and night for a week but it seems to be in no effect.

Im thinking of prescribing of doxycycline to my local GP.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Instead of doing antibiotics why not try topicals. Often times, topicals that did not work before accutane will work now.

Any recommended topical?

I found one called benzac

You should look at your environment - diet and lifestyle.

Yes, diet can play a major role in the quality of your skin if you are acne-prone. Khriscoz how mild was your acne before you went on accutane? Is it as bad now as it was before? And have you ever tried eliminating dairy, processed foods with added sugar, and trans fat from your diet?
