Hope you get well soon! I have a bottle of B complex and Zinc too. Looking forward to your update. Btw, do you have non-inflamed acne? was it improved? P.S. I've read a thread that a guy posted els...

Thank you for your feedback. How do you know so much about supplements? Why do you think I should stop the B multi? I am vegetarian so I thought this was a good idea. Maybe B12 alone would be better? ...

Get clear !!   I've struggled with persistent cystic acne for 13 years. I am finally crystal clear (I get a small breakout if I stray away from my regimen or eat the wrong things but whatever so...

Keep us posted!

Congratulations, keep us posted. HAve you cut back on the total B5 dose yet?

I would suggest waiting a few weeks before making any decisions, if it's only been 2 weeks on differin. If the accutane has left oyu really dry and you don't want to irriate the skin with toxic moist...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think you need to review the amount of supplements you are taking. I don’t think you should be taking a basic multivitamin and a B multivitamin - just get rid of...

I wanted to add that when I drink alot of alcohol I have noticed that my skin does still break out even on the Niacinamide (B3). But it seems to settle the next day. All in all this has been a remarka...

Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you have a severe issue with acne and unfortunately have had to move onto Accutane due to the severity and lack of improvement with other treatments....

THanks for sharing your experience. Diet ABSOLUTELY impacts on skin health, as it does on every other aspect of health. THere was a small study done on chocolate and acne decades ago on about a dozen ...

I agree with above post - accutane has severe side effects in some people and should only be used as a last resort. I would prefer you look at dietary issues - like cutting all sugar from the diet,...

I just lost a big answer to this question (internet !!) In summary -spiro unlikely to cause all those symptoms -more liekly viral illness coincidence with starting higher dose spiro -it is safe to cut...

Let us know how it goes with the Laser.

Agreed.. no matter what the issue cutting back on sugar completely, and probably dairy, should help to some degree. I still think more info could be useful!

My derm actually gave me Nicadan last time too was there which is like a multivitamin kind of thing and on the ingredients it seems to have a lot of niacimanide so hopefully that can help. di u think ...

I wonder if IPL laser might be an option? Not at the same time as the differin though. Before you ask... some info on IPL under 'laser therapy' here .... [Edited link out] ...

Good Luck mate.

Thanks for sharing your story, hope you are able to find some useful help. You describe acne on your face and at times back, quite extensive. Maybe some more information might help people (and me) giv...

I think initially its probably a good idea to back off from the gym atleast until the skin settles. Moderate exercise with good hydration should probably be fine. It's probably also worth thinking if...

Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like your dermatologist recommended a really strong regime for what sounds like only mild acne initially. It is hard to ignore the time association wit...

Thanks for posting your story, certainly a difficult one, and very frustrating for you. Firstly, there is an obvious underlying imbalance of some kind here. The presence of severe and persistent cysti...

A source of omega3 fatty acids is not a bad idea. Most people don't need the omega 6 in our society (becuase we are already so bombarded in omega 6) ..... but flaxseed oil is quite a balanced and natu...

It can be hard to link a specific symptom with certainty to a particular reaction etc. I think you should continue the diet and finish the other treatments before assessing for Leaky Gut. If acne re...
