No idea, but if you can afford a good esthetician s/he might help you figure it out. My daughter recently started going to one and I have been impressed so far with the depth of her knowledge. She g...

I'm just learned about weighted blankets and wonder if that could help with your stress. Also, you can Google binaural beats and listen to them. My husband has a lot of stress/anxiety and thinks lis...

Hmmm. It's tough, and I sure don't know much about it. Accutane worked for me 30 years ago, but I think I was just lucky. Right now I'm taking my daughter to an esthetician after we got frustrated ...

This looks a lot like what happened to my daughter who was on the acne.org regimen for about 2 years. We went to a dermatologist, and after doxycycline made it worse, she tried oral ketoconazole thin...

Have you tried The Regimen yet? That seems like a good starting point to me. It worked well for my older daughter. If that doesn't work, I would go to an esthetician before a dermatologist, but if ...

You might want to consider going to an esthetician instead of a doctor. My experience has been that a doctor will want to put you on an oral antibiotic. Think long and hard before doing this because...

My experience 30 years ago when I was 18 was that I went to a dermatologist who put me on Accutane. I barely remember anything about it, but I guess it must have worked. I discovered somewhere along...

I am facing possible Roaccutane for my 13-year-old daughter who is almost 14. Right now we are doing a last ditch try of cefadroxil and I'm hoping it will be the fix that at least delays taking Roacc...

Thanks for replying. We did see a dermatologist after The Regimen stopped working. Interestingly, a girl working in the office knew about The Regimen and said, "Yeah, it works for a while, but then....

You are self-disciplined! I'm glad it paid off for you.

I agree that 10% is too high for a first try. I burned my skin very badly as a teen even using 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. It was so red and swollen that my mom let me stay home from school. We thou...

Thank you for posting! I love to read success stories.

14 hours ago, hatetane said: You need to do serious research before putting your child on accutane no matter what your experience was. 13 by the way is much too young - accutane would mess wi...

I don't know if this helps you much because it was 30 years ago, but I took Accutane when I was 18. I seriously remember almost nothing about it, but my skin has been clear except for the occasional ...

I should add that the one thing that was different for my daughter is that it wasn't large pustules, but just more and more small ones. Still, I think it could be the same thing of a more resistant s...

This is what happened to my daughter (I posted about it before seeing your post). I can tell you what has not worked for her. We went to a dermatologist who prescribed doxycycline, which made the ac...

The Regimen helped my older daughter get through the acne-prone teenage years and now she has no big problems. It seemed to help my younger daughter, but after about 2 years, it seemed to stop workin...
