yes, they did. even the ancient greeks and egyptians had acne. i came across a news paper advertisement from the 1800s for some magical acne elixir, i wish i had saved it because i can't find it no...

Oh, I hate minocin (another name for it) -- I took it in college for several months. It did nothing for my acne and only caused severe chronic yeast infection. Yuk.

can cortisone shots be helpful if you use them very conservatively(sp)?

just apply a thin film to the entire face 20 minutes after you wash at night. you can use it every other night at first if you like to reduce irritation, but eventually use it every night. give it at...

i just got minor side effect: dry lips and skin, nosebleeds, some occasional minor joint soreness. all the side effects went away after stopping accutane.

before accutane if i had a late night my acne would almost always flare up. now it doesn't seem to make a difference fore me.

i think i read somewhere that smokers have a lower chance of getting acne. of course i'm not suggesting people start smoking.

that basically happened to me to, except when i went to college. all through high school i had clear skin, then i went to college (in the same area even) and started breaking out badly with all kinds...

retin a increases collagen production which can make some scarring less visible, it also gets rid of wrinkles. some derms don't like prescribing it after accutane because they feel it is too irritati...

i ended up not making one, i didn't have any lettuce or anything.

i'm going to make a green smoothie today. hopefully it tastes better than last time

i also take good day multivitamins just for kicks   That could be a big problem.  

maybe a month and a half, i'm not exactly sure, i was taking it for about 3 months or so before accutane, and my derm told me to continue taking it for the first part of treatment.   hmmm... ...

maybe a month and a half, i'm not exactly sure, i was taking it for about 3 months or so before accutane, and my derm told me to continue taking it for the first part of treatment.

i already told you, yes it does, i used it with accutane and didn't get an IB at all.

^I haven't had a single cyst since i started cephalexin.

I didn't have an IB, and i was on cephalexin.

well this is my story: I've had facial and bacne since about 6th grade (11 yrs old). My facial acne has been moderate up to this year, now my whole face is covered in these annoying pimples. I can't l...

I highly doubt you will hear from anyone who took Tane from the 80's. Or the early 90's 1. Accutane likely cleared them, why would they hang around an acne site, plain and simple. 2. Females gave ...

somehow i don't think bacteria is the problem with acne. Doesn't BP kill 100% bacteria upon contact. The main problem is the follicle being plugged, not the bacteria. That's why antibiotics are clo...

do they actually use phages in russia to treat acne?

How close do you believe the dermatologists, doctors and scientists are to a cure for acne?   I believe it may be 5-10 years before we have something that makes acne go away forever. What do you ...

They will never cure it so long as drug and cosmetic companies can take money from people like us.   well, I'm not a conspiracy theorist they will try to cure it but it's extremely unlikely th...

it will probably never be cured unfortunately. maybe they will come out with better treatments but i doubt they can cure acne. unless the can find the acne gene and eliminate it.

I'm having the best luck with rice milk and soy milk as my bases, as opposed to kefir (dairy), as far as taste goes. Lately I've been doing: -Soy/Rice milk as base -1 apple -1 bananna -1-2 handfu...
