there are lots of other options. My dermatologist told me to go on BCP again because i have really bad breakouts on my chin area (cysts) mid cycle and before my period. she said acne in the lower regi...

if you have gone from 30+ angry spots to 3/4 then its a great thing. I know how you feel about having the marks leftover. Some people still think that its active acne, it sucks. you have to discuss u...

hi! are you sure the breakouts are related to dianette? most of the time birth control is supposed to level out the hormones and clear up breakouts. I took diane 35 (same as dianette) and my skin cle...

my doctor said it makes some of her patients look much older than they are, i guess because of the lack of oil.

i heard a lot of people experiencing this type of stuff. Sometimes the generic isn't as effective as the actual branded ones/original. Different formulations and less effective - i haven't taken gener...

unfortunately it is possible for things to appear up to even a few years later. Try the suggestions that have been mntioned, i think it will help.

Diane cleared my skin, but it wasn't worth the hair shedding (weird right?), the 20 pound weight gain and thrombosis i got in my left leg. loved the skin, hated the side effects. everyone i know who ...

speaking from experience there was no effect on libido but the first month there was a lot of breast tension from water gain, it literally goes after 2-3 weeks of use. I didn;t gain a single pound on ...

i dont know, i used to make my own at home and sweetened it with a but of agave. I got breakouts when i had it maybe its just my body. even packaged unsweetend almond milk caused me to breakout. It de...

hi! sorry you are are experiencing this. I haven't taken accutane, but know a few people who have, and a lot of symptoms and side effects apear after the course of accutane. Its common to be honest. ...

i think i am going to start on the belara because it really helped with my skin. I never had oily skin with it, it was literally poreless. I didn't budge in weight either which was a miracle for me so...

Hi michi13! I have some facial hair, i got my periods very young (10), and my acne started around age 14. It was never bad, just a few pimples, mostly on my chin area. I never really got properly tr...

hi Michi13, I understand your pain about the acne and skin affecting you trust me, i have had days when i didn't want to leave the house (and it actually happened a few times ) and i get the cysts ...

my dermatologist also said this to me once - "i'd rather you manage with the hormonal side and topicals till it clears, Accutane is not something I would give to my sister". Enough said!

i've been told by my dermatologist that if skin does not improve by 3-4 weeks, there is something not right. sorry i dont believe in the IB too much, of course you will get them, if you have comedones...

retin a makes skin really sensitive, i mean, it eventually gives nice skin but my skin always looked red and painful using it. Epiduo is good, you can put a thin layer over affected areas and just spo...

if you have hormonal acne i would stay away. my doctor told me yesterday that there are studies and evidence that accutane causes the androgen receptors in skin to become even more sensitive, and many...

i wouldn't take diane/dianette it was like a hell drug for me. Yes my acne cleared up but my hair wnt through this crazy shedding period. I don't think i'm the only one who experienced it because my m...

hey hun, try Saw Palmetto! It can reduce oily skin. I take it and it really helps. What did your doc say about the spots returning??

we all think that when we see the effects of medication. I feel the same way. Am probably going to start BCP this week. be happy and smile you got it all under control!

basically i got back from the dermatologist. I've been seeing her for well over a year, whe i first saw her she told me to take accutane because my acne was bad. I didn't take it, she did some laser f...

hi ! got back from the dermatologist this evening. I am going to post what she said while it is fresh in my mind. I also had a phone call to my gyno this afternoon to let her know what my decision mig...

antibiotics won't help you in the long run because you are upsetting your internal balance. quite a lot actually. BC pills will help your skin and balance our your hormones causing the breakouts in th...

are you female? go get your hormones tested, and see whether you have a hormonal imbalance. Or pcos. It can cause weight gain and breakouts. acne can return if you have a hormonal condition because ...

hi green gables honestly i can tell you have a lot of experience and knowledge on this. BTW, when i have my hormones tested, they said that the androgens come on the low end, my estrogen and progest...
