Time to vent a little after the derm appointment I had today... The derm thinks that what I'll have to end up doing is to take accutane. I'm not too keen on that and I was annoyed that it was pretty ...

I (finally) have a derm appointment tomorrow! I've been on a waiting list for a few months now. And even though I've had acne in varying severities since I was about 13 (I'm 22 now), I've never actual...

No problem

Hi, I'm not sure who to ask this to. But in 2010 I started the Regimen and kept a very thorough detailed log/personal post about my battle with acne. I came back here to find it and show it to a frien...

I don't want to try and worry you, but my skin was awful on Microgynon. I went back and saw a different doctor, and he said I should never have been put on it with my skin problems as it is known to j...

You mean Microgynon? I've just started this pill too! I'm on my first week. I was originally supposed to start Diane but my endo suggested this one would be a better one to start on as it has a lower...

Mod comment - I'm fine with leaving this topic in this forum, but thought I'd suggest you check out the hormonal acne forum too. There's usually a few spiro threads there. I haven't tried spiro but i...

I've been super busy with uni so I'm not really around here much anymore! (But I'll be trying to stop by when I can to say hi ) My skin has been breaking out A LOT over the past few months. I've been...

Moved to emotional and psychological effects of acne forum Hang in there! Dealing with acne and going through initial breakouts when trying new medications or products can be really tough, I know. Ho...

Decided to move this post over to the prescription acne meds forum which is hopefully more helpful for you I haven't taken accutane but my advice would be to listen to what your doctor has to say (y...

Topic moved to accutane logs forum All the best for your accutane journey!

Skin is definitely getting worse lately. I've been using less BP though so that's definitely contributing to it. I'm wanting to stop BP because I'm paranoid about it making my skin more sensitive to t...

Aw thank you Lilly! You've always been so supportive and encouraging. Yep I am still on the three part treatment: Dianette, Epiduo, and Lymecycline. My dermatologist said it was fine for me to stay o...

I'm so happy for you!! Great results - so glad it's still working well! (I'm thinking about starting Diane / dianette myself, so it's also encouraging haha). So you're also still taking lymecycline wi...

Hmm that is weird - I'd have sworn that's where you'd find an expiry date even for the BP. Are you able to get a store-bought BP where you live (if you aren't able/wanting to order another BP from th...

You should find the expiry date stamped into the plastic / the crimp of the tube. I'm not sure how long the BP stays 'effective' after the expiry date passes. I have found in the past that maybe a m...
