is accutane an option for you? yes, but i currently consider it my last resort. My skin wasn't initially this bad when i started tazorac, but the topical definitely purged everything out like no oth...

I'm currently on my 27th day of Tazorac (I've only used it five times so far - twice a week for the first two weeks, no application at all on the third since my face became so inflamed that I was put ...

How is your skin doing?

Day 26Feeling and looking worse than ever. My jawline, chin & forehead hurt so much. The cysts bleed and ooze pus out of nowhere too. I'm so frustrated and tired. I can't believe it's only been a ...

My dad jokes with me like that. Every year on my birthday, he says "It only took (my age) years for you to get this ugly!" Loland he says stuff like "You were the most beautiful baby I have ever seen....

Looks like an allergic reaction OR an infection! Maybe both  I'm an RN, so I've seen a good bit of allergic reactions. Whatever that "Spa" used on your face was not hypoallergenic. Plus, t...

At least you Beautiful quote. Feeling horrible today. Literally just had my grandmother tell me:"Do you want me to go buy you something for your face? Anything? Do you want to go out right now?""No....

That quote was really beautiful, and IMHO, pretty on point. Thank you for sharing!

HELP?

This is pretty terrifying to me considering my doctor will most probably prescribe me with Spironolactone on top of the Tazorac I'm using. Have any of you considered using retinoids topically?

Day 20Reading about MRSA infections has me paranoid about whether or not I have acne or a staph infection. I will be seeing my dermatologist tomorrow and I will most definitely ask her about it. What ...

Day 19 Sent in some more pictures of my face to my dermatologist today. It looks a lot less inflamed but my chin, jaw & forehead are still both itchy and painful. My dermatologist say...

Keep the faith hun. The prednisone should help calm things down relatively quickly and hopefully you can take an antibiotic until tazorac kicks in. i get how frustrating this can be. Talk to your b...

This is exactly what I feel. Aside from work and hanging out with my boyfriend, I try to avoid as much social interaction as I can.It's debilitating to have to interact with people in light of my horr...

Day 16I sent the photos I posted yesterday to my dermatologist, and she prescribed me with Prednisone for short-term anti-inflammatory action and that we'll talk on Monday & Wednesday about what c...

DAY 15 OF TAZORAC (used 4x) + DOXYCYCLINE TWICE A DAY I've been feeling rather hopeless. My skin is so bad that I feel like I'm never going to get clear at this rate. I don't know what to do. I want ...

I know how you feel. Right now I cry every single day. I've asked my boyfriend if we could take a break because I really needed to just feel lousy about myself for an inordinate amount of time. I also...

"You look like a giant pimple with a face." - my uncle"What happened to your face? You look ugly!" - my dad

I used this product line alongside Kerafole exfoliating mask and the spa's sulfur and zinc mask. IT wreaked HAVOC onto my skin, and I completely regret switching aestheticians. My skin went from one w...

How is the tazorac working out for you so far??

Bumpity bumpity BUMP.

This is a very interesting and informative post. My acne is currently at its worst so far in my life, but the cysts are predominantly on my jawline, chin and forehead. Do you think I should do swab te...

Hi Lore91!  I definitely know what you feel. What's worse they tried to pass the blame off to me, saying that something must have been wrong with my body to react that badly to their produ...

I swear by Eminence Organic Skin Care products -- I highly recommend them! I have been BP free for 1+ year because their products work so well. I wish more people knew about them... it's my mission to...
