Also can you exercise whilst on it? or would it be pointless - if saw palmetto blocks DHT and exercise causes DHT, would you not be getting any muscle gain from exercising if it's blocking it?   ...

Hi. I've just been prescribed Saw Palmetto for prevention of hair loss and I also know it can help acne. Anyway I've been reading online and there are apparantly side effects.   I would like to...

I've always thought aloe vera was for burns and what not

Can anyone help?

Hm, interesting. Anyone else?? Also is tretinoin the same thing as retin-A?

I've been using tretinoin 0.5% nightly now for about 3 and a 1/2 months now and it's cleared up a lot. However every few days I might get a new pimple. Sometimes they can go away in about 2 days or so...

So the acne you had made you feel insecure about other parts as well? Now that you're clear, are you feeling ok now?

Bump. I know they're bad pictures, but would you say this is bad enough for accutane in your opinion?

I use to take seroquel, it never caused me acne. I was on it for about 2 years I think and never got acne. I only ever got any noticable acne about 8 months after stopping ( not related to seroquel )....

I don't think it would effect your acne to much, however for your overall health which some people believe can cause acne, it might indirectly (?)

Oh my goodness... I can relate to you and your worries so much. Please private message me if you ever need help or support. I can't say I know exactly what you're going through, but I do suffer from p...

I completely understand how you feel. Because I'm feeling so insecure about my face, I am over examining other parts of my body, which is never a good idea. Whenever you look to closely at something, ...

Obviously it has, but what I mean by that is has it made you feel not so good about other parts of you? Let me explain. Because I am feeling extremely low about my face full of acne, I start not reall...

Thanks again. I just posted pictures of my acne as it is now. A lot of it is redness from previous acne. I've been using a tretinoin cream or Retri or something for about a month. My neck has painfull...

Thank you again for the information. I have to take antibiotics anyway now due to a infection.   To be fair, my acne is ruining my life, it makes me cry, depressed and my self esteem is to rock...

Okay thanks, got it! My derm is saying I HAVE to trial antibiotics first before I can go on Accutane, I'm currently trying a cream, but I don't want to take antibiotics, is it a must to trial antibiot...

Thank you all for the great information. I will take note of all of that. From what you're saying, Accutane is a good way to long term keep serious acne(cystic) away, long term. Am I right?.   ...

Bump

I'm 18, male and I'm on my first cream product now. I got "noticable" acne about 6 or 7 months ago. I eat healthy and have been for 8 months. I've cut out all of those acne foods. My derm says I might...

Anyone?

bump

I defiantly will stop if I notice anything, especially the mental side of it. I am also just very curious/scared about the damage it can do to organs long term. I was wondering if I were to get weekly...

Ugh I'm nervous. I have all these what if thoughts running through my mind. My last question before I log off is that I know people can get long term effects which scares me, such as the liver, and I ...

I'm 18 and a male and I don't weigh much at all (about 57kg) so 125lbs. I used to have pretty bad body dysmorphic disorder on my muscle tone etc. I eat healthy and my diet is pretty clean. Literally I...

I really don't want to take the antibiotics now, I read that it can create some sort of super strand of bacteria or what ever. Would just cleansing with a cetaphil and using my vitamin a cream(he said...
