Good lord, we can't get Isotretonoin in New Zealand unless it is from a GP or a dermatologist. I recommend to you seeing a doctor, I took Roaccutane (as it was called then) 20 years ago and I am turni...

Hi Are you deciding your dosage, or a doctor? Cheers

PS Ask the doctor about another contraceptive pill, it could help.

You could ask the doctor for doxycycline? How about a new round of prescription creams, oitments etc? Chemist/supermarket products? Sebamed-type products seems to work well (I am 39 and female, tried...

Stop popping pimples.

It seems up there you were possibly self-medicating. That's not good with such a strong medication! Only take on advice of a doctor.

I don't think you can get rid of it fast but it should heal soon. Get a doctor's appointment, good luck.

PS, OP, your doctor must've prescribed something, though, if not roaccutane? I assume you'll use that?

Try roaccutane. I am 40 this year (female), used it 20 years ago for cystic acne. Cured acne apart from minor hormonal breakouts for the past 20 yrs. It's come back recently but only in a very minor w...
