Hi. I'm 16 years old and I'm struggling with acne. It's mild but it is really persistent and it makes me feel like sh*t. My uncle told me that he knew a guy who was 17 years old (15 years ago) and he was struggling with acne (it was like mild/moderate) and then his mother brought him to an Italian dermatologist and he prescribed him some drugs. He was taking them for just like 2 two 3 weeks (very short period). And after like 1 week something brownish was going out of his nails ( they knew it was gonna happen). And after that treatment/therapy was finished (as I said before, it was just 2-3 weeks). His face was completely clean and he never got a single pimple again. There were no marks / hyperpigmentation / scars. It was completely clean. I want to know what is that drug. The only thing I know is that he bought it in Italy and it was expensive drug at the time (15 years ago cca.)

EDIT : I forgot to mention that I've been using Effaclar Duo (+) and Benzoyl Peroxide for one year and it has helped me a lot. I had way more pimples before that. A dermatologist with 40 years experience told me to use that. And few days ago I started using Avene comedomed (dermatologist told me that). But the acne keeps breaking out which really stresses me out..... I can't handle it. I want to find what is the name of the drug that I described above.

Btw should I ask my dermatologist to put me on Accutane (Isotretinoin). I saw that it is really effective even on low doses such as 10-20mg for mild acne.
