Hi all,   I am after some advice please.   My partner has been on Roaccutane for several years now - think this is about his 6th or 7th course of the treatment.   His skin is hugely ...

Hi, so sorry for all the issues you've been having. I'm not an expert so can only give my opinion from my own experience. I used alot of antibiotics before going on a treatment of accutane 7 years ago...

Hi...I've had a problem with over active oil glands for about 20 years and just started a low dosage treatment of accutane(20mg a day)..This treatment reduces the amount of oil your body produces so y...

Well I did it.   6 long dry months and I'm finally done! It's been such a curse but a little blessing.   At one end I rarely break out, and if I do it's one little blemish and it goes awa...

it's weird I only have slightly oily skin, I never think 'argh my oil is a problem' in any way, yet every day two to three new breakouts. Acne is such a mystery. And why the heck is a megadose of vita...

are you a man? wow that is so low for you then. How is your acne, any change? x   Hi......Yes, I'm a man! I have had "mild" acne for 20+ years but its my over-active oil glands that cause me ...

Do you think the initial outbreak will also be less severe if the dosage is low? I'm thinking of asking for 20mg.   Yes i'm doing a log i'm so fascinated and scared at the idea of Accutane lol,...

No worries ask anything Im in my ealry 40's as well   I discussed low dose tane with my Dr (after being denied spiro) I thought we were on the same page until she handed me my first rx for ta...

  I think it depends on many different factors..dosage, type of acne and your own body...everyone really is different. I used Panoxyl 10 (Benzoyl Peroxide) on and off for over 20 years and it d...

I am very worried about Accutane due to the endless issues I already have, I'm planning to ask for a low dose to avoid catastrophe, but the question is- will it work and will you stay clear even if yo...

Lips and dry skin seem to be the norm when using roaccutane but as mentioned, everyone is different....and everyones dosage is different which I think also impacts on any sideaffects....I used roaccut...

Many years ago I tried a number of antibiotics (i.e tetracycline, erythromycin etc) and found most helped within the first 3-4 weeks of using them but they only help for the short term and after a whi...

Got to be honest.....I never use Face wash. I always find they make my skin VERY oily.....I do use BP (10%) but find using a moisturizing soap like Dove is the best...It's is very gentle on my skin an...

I agree Battle2011.....I was using Panoxyl "Acnegel" 10% (alcohol based) for almost 15years and then they discontinued that range...luckily I had heard it was getting discontinued so ordered enough to...

excellent info....thanks Leadingforce!....for the last 15years I have used a moisturizer(Garnier Pure A) with SA and zinc properties in it...and has a matt finish when rubbed into the skin and now I k...

Farhang....you shouldn't have to explain yourself my friend! No rules say you should have an orgasm before your 17, 37 or 77.... I agree with some of the comments...Just because you ejaculate doesn't...

I agree.....I just think the concern of cutting dairy out completely means your body will be missing out on calcium rich foods, things that are important for your body (i.e bones/teeth etc,etc....) wh...

I use BP in the mornings and evenings.....I find that when I miss one my skin becomes very oily.....As mentioned, there isn't one rule for everyone as we are all different, so if once a day works for ...

Hi JJ, I'm using 10% (BP) twice a day, once in the morning after I wash my face and once in the evening after a shower....I use my moisturizer (which has SA and zinc in it) once a day in the morning ...

thanks LeadingForce!

I use a moisturizer with salicylic acid and zinc in it.....Garnier Pure A. Seems to work well with BP...My face is very oily and it also takes the shine off my face... erythromycin? I did take this f...

I agree!....I use Panoxyl acnegel (BP) until it was discontinued and Garnier Pure A (Salicylic Acid) together for many years and seemed to work very well together. Had to switch to Panoxyl "aquagel" ...

Tried.....erythromycin, Isotretinoin (roaccutane) and a few other antibiotic treatments over the years...Most of the antibiotic treatments work for a time but the body builds up a resistance to it an...

Thanks for your comments AthleteMan.....I'm starting to think there might be some truth to that mate....BP does work great on spots and over the past 15 years has indeed worked very well but I've not ...
