So I'm back, quite some time later! My skin was pretty ok just on Bactrim DS 1/2 tab AM/PM, but the last 6 months it has gone a bit wild. I didn't want to go back on the pill as I've finally got my cy...

Timehealsall: I hate to break it to you, but it was insecurity, not vanity, that made me make the Accutane plunge. But thanks for your support (not!)...

Thanks for your log. Please continue to update as I assure you that people are reading! I have PCOS and have dealt with acne for over 10 years now. I am on Bactrim but considering Spiro, was thinking ...

Well it seems that some people are still reading my log, so I thought I'd update it (I'm really pleased about people reading it BTW!)...   So it is coming up to 2 years since I started taking my ...

Unfortunately miscarried at 9 weeks...skin as terrible as ever. Back to the old Bactrim, but only taking 1/2 tab/day now (before I was taking 1/2 tab in AM and PM). Fingers crossed this will do the jo...

Wow...so ignore that last post because I have just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant (hence the horrible skin!!!)...so I take that all back. I've whipped myself straight off the Bactrim as it causes birt...

So I went to my GP today after my face absolutely exploded over the weekend (oh have there been tears, let me tell u!), and she checked my LFTs since they have been a bit deranged after taking Tane, a...

Boy has my attitude changed since my last post 4 months ago!!! My skin is back to its unpredictable, horrid self...the Accutane has aged me about 5 years & my liver function is really derranged ac...

DAY 161 - Only 3 weeks left of Accutane! Yay yay yay. Had a dermo appt in the week and he was happy with the results. I don't have to see him again unless I have any probs down the track. No new break...

DAY 138 - Had x1 small breakout on my cheek last week but it was kinda worse because of my picking. I seriously thought I could get something out of it, which I couldn't, so I ended up with a nasty sc...

DAY 125 - Still no breakouts but only second day off the Bactrim - keeping my fingers crossed!!! Bali was AMAZING, still another week of holidays, yay Witch Hazel was terrible in the end, my face bec...

DAY 116   Hi All   Well I haven't had any more breakouts since my last post - yip yip eee Off to Bali tomorrow and taking my last strip of Bactrim (antibiotics) [a week's worth]...So hopin...

It's good to hear you and your husband have moved back in together and are taking the trip with each other, too. Communication is so key! I came across your log as I am going on Accutane in a couple w...

DAY 100 - Wow, it's been AGES since I've been on here...I am so unbelievably happy with my skin. I haven't had a break out in I don't know how long, my skin is dry, but manageable. My major problem ha...

DAY 71 - Just the one breakout since my last post...which has cleared up ok...feeling pretty good about my skin at the moment. Booked a trip to Bali, told my husband (we have recently separated), he i...

DAY 66 - Still no great skin success - had 4 breakouts in last 10 days, since my last post. All pretty large and scabby. Wishing I could just be clear already!

DAY 56 - Well of course, I cursed myself...2 new pimples - one small which I squeezed and has disappeared...one huge, which I attempted to squeeze (I really felt like something would come out!!!), but...

DAY 51 - So it has been a week since I last posted and no new breakouts since my scabs! Woo hoo. I hate writing it down bcos I feel like I'm cursing myself! But I am so stoked, I can't remember the la...

erm, i dunno. the ingredients list is: maize flour, water. nothing else. As far as I now maize is spanish for corn. Maybe somebody can fill me in on eating fruits. I know refined sugar is a non...

DAY 44 - So last night I had a friend's wine and cheese night that I had been invited to earlier in the week...but I wasn't going to go because of my scabs I thought to myself "I'll just see how I lo...

Myresults: Thanks also for dropping by! And thanks for the encouragement! As I said in the above entry, I am going to endeavour not to pick again...easier said than done though, right?? Hope you are g...

Homegirl: Thanks for dropping by! I would imagine that your dermo would have been suggesting antibiotics or maybe Prednisolone - which is a steroid (but has loads of side effects - it's a bit of a dir...

DAY 43 - So I made the big mistake of attempting to squeeze the 3 tiny pimples...and because my skin seems to thin and sensitive on the Tane, I have been left with 3 horrid looking scabs. Grr why can'...

DAY 39 - My skin is doing well, but I must admit that since I started up the Bactrim again it has cleared significantly. Man, that stuff is amazing. It gets to work in 24 hours! The first 2 weeks on T...

So I have been reading many other people's logs and I have been posting comments on theirs, but thought I should start my own as I haven't seen all that many logs about mild acne. So my story goes: I ...
