i never had an initial break out on antibiotics but almost always from stuff like topicals (purges the skin) and BCP except diane 35. I think its just the way most meds work. Even with laser treatment...

Hi Emita! hope you are well . Your diet sounds great and its good that you cut out dairy/sugar etc because they can cause inflammation which can also have an effect on our skin and acne. You say tha...

diane 35 is really good for acne, i dont think you will break out. it clears up skin so well, i wish i could take it, but it gave me so many side effects when i took it (thrombosis included) and it ha...

in dubai they give accutane out like candy, one doctor was even telling her patients (i heard about this from a doc) that accutane is the 'beauty pill'. very dangerous, and its really just given to a...

if you are taking YAZ then that should be balancing out your hormones. Why are you taking Spiro on top of it? Accutane works for ALL types of acne, and you will clear on it, thats not even debatable....

i have IPL photofacials, my derm basically does the following - cleanses, used some sort of exfoliation gel which she leaves on while my face steams for 10 mins or so (it smells weird like fish LOL), ...

thats really high, doesn't it depend on how much you weigh? my doctor told me i would need around 20mg to be completely clear but MAX 30MG (i am short though 5'2 and weight about 120ish pounds) but sh...

if you have bad acne, and i mean, all over your neck, chest, back - google severe acne. if you look like that, then consider accutane. if you don't then don't consider it. it has side effects, like a...

the medication your doctor prescribed is for high DHEA. High DHEA is also the so called 'acne' hormone. When its elevated you can have breakouts. I took saw palmetto and waited 3 months, and my DHEA w...

i think its related to the accutane use, and i think you need to get a second opinion from a different doctor. My doctor told me that it can cause dryness in females as well in that area as well as al...

i dont like diane 35, took it when i was 16. it cleared up my skin but wasn't worth the trade off of hair loss (yes can you believe it?), weight gain, migraines that had me in bed for 1 hour after sc...

Hi ! well its a big step, but is accutane the only option for you ?

i have also heard that lithium can cause acne. the combo in dianette, whether generic or not really does clear skin up. but i never tried any generics so can't say whether it works or not.

the lotus oil is amazing. If you have sensitive skin, with dry patches from all the topicals and also some breakouts it really helps to soothe the texture. Just use sparingly and slowly introduce it i...

stop picking your spots with that needle! it will only make it 100 times worse! i know someone who scarred badly because she used to do that. NEVER touch them unless they look like custard on top, its...

hello, first of all, its great that you have managed to reduce your acne dramatically! yes yeast/candida and all sorts of imbalances in zinc etc can all lead to flares ups. I have to tell you, i was...

you are right, throwing your skin off balance can lead to all these problems such as acne etc. You can't scrub/wash away your acne. all these presciption drugs docs gave me either burned my face, made...

my dermatologist does stem cell therapy for the skin, they extract blood or something and it undergoes a process whereby they then inject it into the damaged tissues. They use it to increase fibroplas...

if you have hormonally induced acne, whether you take accutane or not, it can come back. You are just drying up your pores/closing them up with accutane. Sometimes its permanent, but you retain some o...

triglycerides and cholesterol can go up on accutane, its why they check your blood constantly, amongst other things. Both of those have nothing to do with your level of exercise or diet, you can be ve...

my dermatologist told me that there is some new evidence from studies that show that accutane can increase the receptivity and sensitivity of the androgen receptors in females. This could result in in...

maybe you are breaking out because you switched and your body is getting used to the change of hormones which is what is causing these small breakouts. But i think if you don't clear after the 3rd mo...

i break out a lot on my chin as well, but cheeks too. I think BCP pills generally clear you up depending on what you are on. I take this pill (belara) it compares studies with other pills - www.belara...

i heard flutamide can affect the liver. also heard doctors don't like prescribing it. There are other more gentle effective stuff. How is the BCP turning out for you ?

forget Diane, i took it and had the WORSE side effects. Its been banned in a few countries last week. There is YAZ/Yasmin and belara as well which is fairly new but supposed to be good for acne. I tak...
