Just curious

Starting mnth 5 and i dont go more than 3-4 days maybe without a new mark

They dont look like breakouts but more raised red irritation marks? (no head etc and not deep like cysts)

Im 130 pounds and on 60mg

Im just wondering if lowering my dose could help rather than increase my dosage to 80mg like my derm is rec

thoughts?

80 mg and 130 lbs? Jesus. Was your acne severe? Maybe the increase is what you need then!

 

Is it like raised skin but little bumps all in one area?

No my acne was not severe

I was even denied spiro several times by various Dr

BUT after 4 yrs of every topical u can imgaine, getting rid of makeup, trying oral antibiotics etc

I have enough and this derm rec low dose tane

I did my research and wanted to stick with 20-40mg max

It wasnt until my second appt my Dr filled me in on the fact she wanted me to go up to 80mg

I think her plan was a higher dose shorter term treatment plan...

BUT i would rather be comfy and stay on it longer

Ive had troubles with my eyes which would rpevent me from going any higher than 60mg

I tried 75 mg once and forget it..my eyes were like GLUE and it wasnt good!
