Any form of hormones that you're putting into your body has the potential to interfere with treatment. It may be worth the sacrifice to not have sex for 6 months if it means having clear skin. But a...

i have used mostly everything you have tried and ive had acne for about 1 1/2 years now. However none of it seems to be working. just like you i get a new pimple every day and turns to a whitehead and...

Week probably 15 update: My face looks horrible. I don't get acne on my cheeks anymore. Maybe one pimple every often. My chin/mouth area and my forehead is the MAIN problem. Literally, I have like 4 ...

You mention wanting to get on BC right away. Do you think you can get your GP to prescibe you Dianette, Yaz or Yasmin until your derm appt in April? They have been used to treat acne and might be so...

I am assuming you are in America, and if so - then yes I think they would give it to you. I have very persistent, moderate acne as well and I started isotretinoin (accutane) in December. It hasn't bee...

Honestly, It looks like you have taken everything except sprironolactone and accutane. There is a new topical called aczone the dermatologist might recommend. From my experience and what others have s...

Hello everyone. So some of you might have seen my topic about me being on Tretinoin for almost 15 weeks. If not, check it out on my page. My dad called my primary doctor yesterday and told them the T...

I use that with ground cinnamon. I either use is as a spot treatment or all over mask. I think it works well when you spot treat and leave it on overnight.

It won't let me quote you for some odd reason. I could have gotten in earlier in a different place but my insuracne wouldn't cover it. I wonder what they'll prescribe me. Hopefully NOT Minocycline! I...

I have an appointment for the dermatologist on April 10th and I just broke down crying. I don't want to be on Tretinoin for another 2 and a half months! My doctor won't let me off of it until I see th...

leoine look into fillers if theres skin missing like enerjet no laser out there can lift the skin My insuracne doesn't cover that and I'm going through money issues right now. I'm also on Tretinoin ...

I have some pitted scars on my cheek as well. I'm definitely following this topic to know more about it. I'm also going to support you through this, because everyone needs at least some support.

I feel the same. I have this HUGE inflamed, red, and scabby looking pimple right next to my eyebrow in the middle of my face. I'm debating if I'm canceling plans tomorrow because of it. Nobody without...

Do you have First-aid Beauty in the UK? I use their Repair Cream and it's lovely. It's also formulated without harsh chemicals. I think you could order it on the web. It's around 20 something dollars ...

So happy to hear you are going to see a Derm and it will be covered. Speak up, be your own advocate, ask for help and hopefully get on the right track to a treatment. If you think this has anything ...

Well, I went to the Pharmacy to pick up my Doxy and Spiro and told them I am all set with Retin A right now. It scares the ever living crap out of me. I've already been on Spiro purge for about 8 wee...

I was prescribed Retin-A (Tretinoin) back in November. It's been 14 weeks with NO IMPROVEMENT. My story about that is under my topics called "No Improvement Tretinoin 14 weeks". I'm now being referee...

UPDATE My dad called the doctor's office today and told them how I have been on Tretinoin for 14 weeks. They are referring me to a dermatologist and I guess our insurance DOES cover that. Thank god b...

You sound just like me, except I'm using the gel form of 0.025% and started on 0.01%. I've been on Tretinoin (Retin-A) for 14 weeks and no improvement. Honestly, I am thinking of stopping the treatmen...

Day WHATEVER on Tretinoin. (Almost 15 weeks) I am so over this Tretinoin crap. I woke up this morning with 5 or 6 new whiteheads on my chin/mouth/jawline area. They aren't small but also aren't huge. ...

Did the same thing to my skin when I started using it. I eventually had to take minocycline with it to get the breakouts under control. Now, accutane. I would say you should consider different option...
