LogicalFlavor 0 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm new here and I need a little bit of advice. I am 17 and I have had moderate acne for at least seven (yes, seven) years. I am seeing a dermatologist for the second time ever in about a month. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think the dermatologist might perscribe me. I'm really hoping for Accutane. Below is a list of things I have tried that, for the most part, have not worked. Oral Prescriptions: Doxycycline Tetracycline Birth Control Pills (Alysena) Topical Prescriptions: Benzoyl Peroxide Salicylic Acid Tactuo Clindoxyl (Tried three separate times) Stevia-A (Tried three separate times) Benzaclin Differin Holistic Approaches: Lemon Juice Salt Baking Soda Bananas The "caveman regimen" (no products, only water) Tea tree oil Rubbing alcohol Cod Liver Oil No makeup Face Washes/Products without Perscription: Neutrogena (Multiple Types in excess of 4) Proactive (Tried two separate times) Oxy (Two Types: Acne Prone; Sensitive) Bioré (Charcoal) Avon Clean and Clear (Multiple Types in Excess of 4) Clearasil (Multiple Types in Excess of 4) Glycolic Peels Specto Gel Health Changes: No dairy Exercise Lots of water Tea Eating healthier Meditating and stress relief strategies Here are some pictures of my Do you think I'll be perscribed Accutane?

kelbell812 165 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's very likely considering how persistent your acne has been for such a long time and the fact that it hasn't responded to several other topical or antibiotic treatments. Just bring it up with your doc and see what he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
