Interesting points. Once I have the lab slip can I go anywhere to get blood tests? My derm office didn't tell me where to go

Hi,   I had been taking minocycline on and off for a little over two years. I eventually became resistant and my severe chin acne started to come back slowly. It's disappointing that the severi...

Is a four month 80 mg course for a male weighing 77 mg enough for long term remission? I am 20 years old. I thought I heard that 5 months-6 months is the norm

Yes they do. I'm pretty much clear right now. That's why I'm hesitant to let go

I'm just going to take the antibiotics and probiotics til summer. I can't make a huge diet adjustment at school it's just not feasible economically. I think if I cut out high glycemic foods and fried ...

I've only been on mino for two months. I'm taking probiotics with it. I really can't afford to go off it now or my acne will come back while I'm in school and I don't wanna deal with that. I'll com...

I've eaten like crap since a little kid high gi foods all the time. I had the worst breakout of my life when I tried to put on weight eating anything at 4000 calories a day. It's now pretty much under...

My acne has gotten worse after 4 weeks of bactrim. Is the bactrim just flat out not gonna work? I have two huge inflamed pimples that hurt like hell on my chin. Someone please help!

I've been on Bactrim DS for a week now. I've been using BP at night too. It seemed to help a little but a couple of days ago I developed a couple of cysts on my chin. A new one came in today. Shou...

It really is helping I think. I still have some zits but the inflammation has gone down after just two days. My plan is to get clear with bactrim and maintain the clearness with bp at night, a healthy...

Hi, My dermatologist has given me bactrim ds after being on minocycline on and off for the last couple of years. I do my research like always before I put something in my body and found the horribl...

Week 3 Day 1 Hit rock bottom with my skin last night. The first couple of times I used jojoba oil my chin was stinging a little. Last night my face hurt so bad I could not sleep. Pretty sure I'm ...

The pain eventually was bearable enough so that I could sleep but my skin felt so weird this morning and is beet red from the reaction. The jojoba oil broke me out a little too. My skin is has dry a...

The regimen never really gives me trouble but when I incorporate jojoba oil it tends to sting. Well tonight after I added 3 drops for my chin acne my face is absolutely on fire! I can't decide wheth...

Week 2 Day 7 Didn't feel too good about the regimen today. On the side of my chin where the acne used to be the spots get redder and redder and the acne still persists on the other side of my chin....

Week 2 Day 6 My acne is definitely coming under control. The red marks and red skin still bother me a lot. This morning I was tempted to switching to doing the regimen only at night, but something...

Week 2 Day 5 Skin is still red. It doesn't cause any pain or irritation but it's kind of goofy looking when I don't have the treatment on my chin. It's like my skin is actually stained red where I...

Week 2, Day 4 Feeling ok about my skin today despite minimal improvement. Sometimes it just seems like the benzoyl peroxide just isn't doing the job. My skin is red on my chin, it looks like I hav...

Seems like some pretty intense info. Should keep me busy for a while. Thanks a lot and thanks for moving it.

Hey everybody! I've been on the regimen since last Monday, so about a week and a half. My skin looks awful today and for the first time I realized that my acne was actually making a huge impact on ...
