Ok so I may as well make this a log cause I find venting really helps me. 1 WEEK  So it's been just over a week now since I started I would like to inform everyone that I haveÂ...

I've done a lot of reading on this forum to say yes it could be the antibiotic. But I can't exactly say why without potentially making false medical claims haha. Just spot treat them, y...

Butterfly rash made me think rosacea tbh. People talk about having rosacea with 'papules and pustules' so maybe the grainy things are sebum plugs precursory to the papules.

Retinoids can prevent all types of acne to some degree. They work by preventing hyperkeritinization,"which means they help your skin slough off (or desquamate) dead skin cells at a more normal rate so...

TLDR; Differin did not work for me in the end. Figured out I'd come back and update the first post to this so no one potentially wastes their time reading this till the end. Personally though, I think...

In june this year I on a whim went and bought sulfur soap from my drugstore. Literally withing 4 days my moderate acne COMPLETELY CLEARED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS. I was so happy, I thought i ...

What do you use topically and what hasn't worked etc?

Hey guys, i know this is a long shot but i feel i'm going crazy. i've always had really itchy acne, and always been an obsessive picker. Over the past week I've been not touching my skin at all. Im s...

can I ask why not accutane? "A study in the American Journal of Psychiatry used PET and MRI scans to measure brain activity of patients using Accutane. The results were startling. There was an avera...

I'm curious about these, but I don't live in America or any other country where so many products are available, rather New Zealand, and I don't even know if derms here offer any sort of light treatmen...

Benzoyl peroxide, unlike retinoids and bha's for example, cannot purge the skin and should not cause you more breakouts than you already experience. BP usually works straight away to kill the bacteria...

I don't mean to be rude but your derm may not consider your acne severe enough to prescribe accutane, but good luck if you feel that is what you want to try. In the mean time if you haven't tried bp I...

I swear that the amount of time in my life I have wasted on the internet and reading my my mothers medical books for the answer to my now moderate-severe acne has left me with the knowledge equivalent...

Highly highly unlikely in my opinion.Only a small amount of it would get into your blood stream and wouldn't likely affect the hormonal action of the pills. Only oral antibiotics & accutane have b...

Estroblock pro - have you determined that you have too high a level of estrogen? Im not too familiar with EB, but if you found bcp helped, they usually contain levels of estrogen and progestogen, so e...

This may sound really typical to you, but have you tried manual or chemical exfoliation? Like a salicylic acid or something? The majority of your acne looks like black heads, clogged pores and white h...

Wow I have the exact. Same. Thing. Mine also become more pronounced after sweating and also come and go in severity.To be quite honest they never bother me much because I never really wear clothing th...

I was a vegetarian/pseudo vegan (for 2 years now) but now I have added fish back into my diet and I still have acne just as bad. I do believe it can help people, especially if you have digestive issue...

Don't appologise for the 'gross' picture, I think its good to have these pics so we can reflect back on our progress when we finally have clear skin (I can dream  ). It's hard to tell from...

May I ask how in the heck you managed to narrow down that many foods? Did you solely eat almonds for the whole day to figure this out? If you ate chocolate and rainbow trout and cantaloupes in the sam...

I know people can have sensitivities to nuts and that can contribute to acne, but I'm not a dietician. However, if you feel they are breaking you out avoid them for a week or so, and then reintroduce ...

Different herbal teas can have a different effect on your body, there's not one tea that will have a universal benefit.If you suspect your acne is hormonal, saw palmetto, agnus castus, red and yellow ...

Day 50 (Round 2) Just a quick note to say that today I noticed that the dead skin mask on my cheeks was a little... muddy looking? (Lovely I know.) Perhaps from the residue of makeup that I had taken...

It seems like your skin is really irritated already from the past treatments. When you apply the isotrex, do you wait after washing your face, how much do you apply? Make sure you only use a pea size...
