The past tane usage doesn't count towards cumulative dosage afaik. Can't tou take antibiotics or something? What does your md think?

Yes your acne can be hormonal no matter where you breakout. Hormonal acne is present at 25 and even into middle age. Spiro can help,but can take at least 3mos. Bcp can also help. Stress may h...

It could bc doesn't met work by lowering IR?

If by that you mean go on tane, complete a course of it by getting your cumulative dose, and then starting low dose spiro afterwards, yeah that can work. but if you get clear on tane, you may not nee...

No good doctor would perform fraxel on active acne. I seriously caution you to wait until you clear up.

Aww, that's a shame about your k. My k levels are normally 4.5 without spiro so I was concerned about being on it for tht reason. I normally eat a lot of k rich foods though bc I have a good diet ( fr...

You can try the flutamide, maybe it will be great for you. It's a shame that topicals don't work for you because it sounds like you're almost clear with the bcp. It's also a shame you can't eat a ...

No, I'm not taking any drugs. I'm controlling my acne with Bp and eating a low GI diet. I wish I would've done this and just forgone the drugs. The flutamide stopped working for me after awhile and...

Are the positive experiences recent? I haven't been on there in awhile but when I was there was only one positive one. Everyone else quietly went back to spiro. One lady, kat, had a good experience bu...

Do tou have dry skin? If you have a Layer of dry skin the lotion can't penetrate. you need ro use some method of exfoliation to get rid of it a few times a wek like ahas or a scrub.

Have you tried the regimen?

My endo said brand name is much more effective than generic. Flutamide has side effects. Everyone I know who took it was EXTREMELY tired. One girl literally couldn't get up off her floor. I've pos...

Honestly, I Wouldn't. You'd be so tired with both and your electrolytes would be at risk of being a mess. If you want to wait for spiro to kick in use antibiotics or even topicals.

I'd leave it alone so it can heal. Id put on Vaseline.

I don't know about doing suction on peeled skin... You should listen to Matt. I've heard the needle marks go away. Did he use 100% TCA or just a peel?

I agree it sounds Ike tour dr was clueless. You should be clear before you get off. 40 mgs is very low for a male. I weigh next to nothing (100pds) and I was on 60 mgs at the end. I forget how to c...

Just an update... I'm still doing this and still relatively clear. I've switched my Bp to acnefree. Don't know if I mentioned it but I had to stop the zinc & C bc it killed my stomach. I may...

Do you know if you reached your cumulative dose? Also did you ever get clear in it? Generally they don't stop your course until you get clear AND you reach your cumulative dose. 40 mgs is a low dose ...

Yes I have. I have pcos. I control my acne with Bp & a low gi diet.

^^ this.

What's atralun? Is it a retinoid? If so, they can cause major ib's.

Thanks. I'm not sure what it'll show. I click it and it turns orange, but then it clears when I hit submit.

I did all of that. I've written many reviews before. It just stopped working for me. I even repeatedly hit the buttons, but they keep clearing. I don't know how to do screenshots on my iPad.

T's a great moisturizer with a lot of skin barrier ingredients. Many can use it no problem, but it does contain two ingredients very high up in the list that are very comedogenic, so some people can't...
