Day 120 Hi all! So today was the day of my first Derm appointment- WAHOO!! But before I get onto that, an update on my skin from last time. I've had about 3 spots crop up around my jaw (honestly tho...

Day 110 Mixed progress since last time. Still general improvement overall, but I've had three more spots come up on JawGate recently. Two of them have been and gone, but i've got another nasty one no...

Day 98 Hi all, didn't realise it had been so long since my last post! Things have steadily improved in terms of skin clearing up and the red marks on my jaw fading. However, Day 91 was pretty rough.....

Day 82 A few developments since last time. On day 76 a nasty spot came up on JawGate. Once again, like the vast majority of acne i've had during this whole 2014/15 breakout, it was not squeezable. It...

Day 75 Things are still going well for me! There seems to be less redness along JawGate now, so I took a picture today which i'll attach at the bottom of this post so you can see I have had one kind-...

no one has any other input? Just saw your pics. That does seem like quite a rapid decline but it's good that you've documented it with pictures. Whats your plan for when you see the derm on 6th Jan?

Day 71 Hi all, I took a pic on day 69 but it doesn't really show much change as you can't see how much my skin has flattened out from it! I'll upload after anyways. Had a bit of a down day yesterday...

  Questions:   Will accutane help this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Would you recommend accutane for this kind of case? Is 10 weeks a short duration for an acne onset as sev...

Day 67 Skin is continuing to improve. Slightly less redness and lots of flattening out, my skin is feeling so much smoother! Had 2 new spots since last time, one small whitehead on JawGate and got qu...

Day 61 Things are still continuing to look up Since last time i've had one new spot come up on my lower neck, one on left cheek and one/two on right jaw. In general, the picture is getting a lot cle...

Day 55 Progress has been up and down since my last blog. I've had a new clogged pore come up near my cheekbone and 3/4 new spots on my neck. However, (can't believe i'm about to say this!!) no new sp...

Day 46 My acne is now at the worst it's been since I was about 14/15.. pre-roaccutane and pre-antibiotics. I'm 25. I honestly can't believe how much my skin has deteriorated in the last 6 months, it...

Day 42   jaw still in a state, new spots on both cheeks as well as side of my head (temples), which are both areas which already have really bad scars. Really starting to feel like doxy isn't w...

Day 40 Things are looking bad again I said last time I felt things were improving but it seems I spoke to soon. The left hand side of my face is pretty good apart from two little bumps on my cheek I ...

Day 35   Hi all. Not a huge amount to report. JawGate is still ongoing- had some more large itchy red pimples come up at the beginning of this week (right side) that I squeezed on Monday evening...

Day 28 *One month mark* So today marks one month on Doxycycline and about 8/9 weeks on Isotrexin. One thing i've been noticing this week is dry, flaky and red skin on my forehead and dryness on my no...

Day 26 Wasn't going to post today but feel I need to vent a bit. Stupidly tried squeezing some of these large red cystic.. things on my jaw. Nothing. And they'll probably be 3 x as inflamed tomorrow,...

Day 25 Things are still pretty dire. I kept waking up in my sleep last night due to two painful zits coming up (does that ever happen to anyone else, the sleep thing?)- one above my lip and one above...

Day 22 Having a really bad day Just when I thought the acne on my jaw (right side) was clearing, medium sized bumps have appeared along my jawline. My skin is so, so bumpy. I squeezed some of the bu...

Day 19 Still no huge improvement. The jaw breakout on my right hand side continues to flatten. I've had some new pimples pop up right on my temple, the side of my face and also one on my left cheek. T...

Day 14   The 3 nasty spots described above are dying down but I have a new nasty one on chin area and have also got new pimples on my neck.   The right hand side of my face (jaw area) is ...

Day 11 Had a rough few days- had 3 very painful and cystic spots, one by the side of my forehead (where I have loads of scarring already), one on my forehead to the left, and one on my chin area. All...

Hi all. I've been struggling with acne for probably abut 13 years. I've already taken every anitbiotic under the sun (incl doxy), dianette, accutane... everything works but my acne always comes back ...

I have had acne since I was 13, I'm now 22 years old. I have been on the dianette contraceptive pill since I was around 16 years old to make my skin produce less oil. It worked for a while and eventua...

  so whats the best way ? mineral powder ? The best method I've found, and currently use, is to find a good primer that reduces pores, or layers over them to make your skin more smooth for fo...
