Anyone?

I have been using the acne.org bp along with my own wash and a prescription rentinol treninoin for the past month. My skin is definitely better in terms of breakouts but it’s gotten so red. I’ve been ...

I know this post is from almost a month ago but as someone who’s also in their mid twenties and struggling with acne I figured I’d respond. I got on birth control in my early 20’s I believe it was rig...

For some people birth control pills make you break out in places you never have before. You're skin is probably just adjusting. Give it time, especially if your OB said it would take a while for you t...

Yup. Pretty much everytime my skin is improving and I'm like "yay it's getting better I can wait this out" I get my period and go right back to square one. Even the discoloration from where it's heale...

I totally agree with you on the fact that birth control messes with your system. My migraines were so bad they lasted all day and led to spending a lot of nights vomitting. I already eat very well and...

So thanks to the GI problems I started having my doctor has put me off all medications except one that I'm taking to help fix my GI. Until that's resolved she told me she I can't try a new birth contr...

Figured I'd update since its been a while. So while my skin has improved somewhat. Forehead is almost completely clear and cheeks aren't as bad as they were. I unfortunately had to stop taking all ora...

When acne is really stubborn you typically need the extra oomph of a topical. If your mom prefers you not have antibiotics or steroids you can keep trying the natural routine but you may not have much...

I've had that problem and what yours relates to have to do with a couple things. Do you know if your acne is hormonal or not? What have you been using for your acne, oral, topical, or other? One perso...

I was supposed to also get a gentler retina but found out at the pharmacy the retina wasn't insurance covered and would have been $150 which I can't cover. The pharmacy guy said he would call my Derm ...

so when I went to pick up the prescription I also found Doxycycline Mono 100 mg also waiting for me. Antibiotics were what I originally said I'd rather try first. Should I just say fuck it and try the...

Ended up seeing a new Derm who pretty much told me I should be on Spiro if I don't want birth control since my acne is hormonal and prescribed me the 50 mg. Ironically I was considering asking for it ...

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about a year and a half. I also had mild to moderate acne that I believe is hormonal. After an initial purge of about 2 maybe two and a half months my skin was great! I d...

I ended up not taking it after thinking about it for a long time and realizing I don't want to take it for acne since I will eventually have to come off it regardless. I'm almost 24 and I know I don't...

So I went off birth control (ortho tri cyclen) back in October due to lots of problems with it like severe migraines, pains, bloating, horrible mood swings, etc. one of the only things I liked about i...

So she ended up giving me Yaz. Idk if it's really what I want because I've heard stories about Yaz giving people a lot of problems and after using the ortho I'm a bit scared to take it. Has anyone els...

Thank you everyone! I'll update what I decide to do after I see the Derm on Wednesday.

I don't really want to be on anything but I just don't feel like I can have clear skin naturally. I've had acne that comes and goes at random despite everything I've tried. I eat really healthy most a...

So just an update on my skin. The left side has started to clear a bit, the right side has stayed the same and my forehead has gotten worse. Oddly I've been out of state with my bf for half a week and...

with how annoying it's getting to cover up acne again I honestly am at the point of considering going back on birth control. I really would rather not but at this point I want something I know will wo...

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen and my skin got worse and broke out like crazy for the first 2/3 months. I mean really terrible, in places I'd never had it before. I would wait because afterwards I had real...

So I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about a year and a half. Shortly after I started taking it my skin broke out like crazy and I had about a 2 and a half to 3 month adjustment period till my skin switch...
