From the looks of things I'd say that they are closed comedones or blocked pores, with the odd one or two becoming slightly inflamed.c

I'm basically in the exact same boat as you ginger and I am now too seriously considering Accutane since nothing else has worked.

First off I'd say your washing your face way too many times a day; no more than twice is more than sufficient otherwise you're just during your skin out and stripping your face of its natural oils and...

Where are the pictures?

Well, my skin just keeps getting worse and worse. I don't know why absolutely nothing is working anymore?

Thanks guys for your replies, it really means a lot. I'm just so frustrated because half of my acne in that first picture is just the scars and marks left behind, some have even been there since Jan...

What supplements would you recommend?

Thanks for the replies and insights, really appreciate the kindness I went to a skin specialist in London about a month ago and they tried to push the Obagi Medical regime on me which would set me b...

No I haven't used the Regimen as I'm in the UK and BP is discontinued here and to ship over the acne.org products its going to cost a fair chunk of change. I am travelling to Malaysia tomorrow though ...

Ugh my acne is just not going away, after 4 1/2 months on lymecycline with little results I've switched on doxycyline for over a month. Using Isotrex since January too and washing with either Avene Cl...

Your skin is perfect, seriously I wouldn't try anything too harsh or you risk causing a breakout from the over-drying properties found in countless facial washes/products.

Bump.

So I have a script for doxy for 2 months and am nearly through the first month or so. I use isotrex gel in the evenings too which I have done for about the past 2 months now. Does anyone have any advi...

I'd actually like to know if this is possible as I'm in a similar position and contemplating possibly moving back to Epiduo.

I'm currently being referred to a dermo, so its just the GP for now. Got taken off lymecycline and put onto Doxy again (been on it twice in the past; first time worked really well second time not so w...

Was on it for a good 2 years I think? Can you get higher %'s of BP in epiduo or is 2.5 the standard amount?

So Epiduo stopped working for me...does that mean that (since it contains 2.5% BP) I will be unable to use BP as an effective anti-acne topical!?

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone it's just that I hadn't really got a pimple so large and deep in a long, long while and I just thought it was odd considering I'm over 6 weeks into the istorex. P...

This is what my skin looks like after using isotrex for the past 6+ weeks. Worse than when I started out. Has it now turned cystic do you think? Seeing my GP in the morning and am in a complete state,...

Ugh, I am still getting new spots pop up, not every day but I can't even bring the existing ones down before new ones come up; three now on the side of my forehead and now one huge one coming up right...

Isotrex really isn't helping my forehead acne, approaching four weeks in now, maybe I'm not yet out of the Initial Breakout phase!?

Hi there, I have been battling acne on and off ever since I was a teen and at 24, nearly 25, its growing tiresome to say the least! Anyway, at the moment I am on my fourth month of Lymecycline (408m...
