Hmmm maybe i should up my dosage. I still get small formations that go away fairly quick. But sometimes they like to leave a red mark. My face has already been drier though since I don't moisturize...

Hey Soapy,   Why did your derm up your dosage? Was it starting to lose effectiveness?   I haven't been back to the doctor yet. Although, I have gotten 2 refills on my Retin-A.   Just ...

I was planning to continue Retin-A indefinitely (well until I think I am grown out of it). I will probably end up using it every other day or every 3 days.   Good news that you are doing well. ...

Finally updated a month later   Soapy/Joker you still around?

Updated. Been really really really busy with school. Can't wait til December when we get off.

I'm taking 100 mg. spironolactone(a.m.), 45 mg. solodyn(minocycline)(p.m.) and using tretinoin .05 %. started w/atralin(tret)on 10/17. Before that I was using differin 0.3% which was too strong for me...

oh, hey! my progress is steadily improving. I still have some active pimples and i still get some new ones, but they are NOTHING like those horrible cysts i was getting during my initial breakout. I ...

How's it coming along Soapy? Good I hope. Nice pic btw   Update us on your progress...

Updated finally, been 5 days since last one.   How are you doing Soapy? It feels like I am starting to clear pretty good now. How about you?

WAAAhhhhhhhh uurrrrrrgghhhhh that is really all i have to say. Is that your battle cry? So your starting to see "progress" huh? Today I started peeling a lot and that made me realize I am...

I think I am in my IB as I have some formations on places that were clear when I started the regimen. In addition to the new formations, I am still breaking out around my mouth and in between my eyeb...

Just wanted to put in my two cents and say that my derm told me when my skin got clear I could try only using retin-a 2 or 3 times a week. Also you moisturize first? Is that working alright because I ...

I have searched google and haven't found too many studies on long-term effects of retin a. From what I gathered, it doesn't seem to have any negative effects of using it for a long time. I shower tw...

Hey kushndrank. We can only hope the end result is going to be good. Sooner the better!   I was thinking about it and was wondering what we will do when we are completely clear. Will we contin...

Ahhh damn. I thought it was signs of an IB... guess I was wrong   I keep getting progressively better in the breakout that was there when I started the regimen. Been getting various papules th...

Doesn't it suck Soapy to just keep breaking out in the same area? It makes it look like you have permanent acne in that area   It just sucks to keep hoping it will clear up in that area, but it...

updated.

Thanks for the comments Max101. Good to know what I am experiencing are normal. I really hope my IB won't last too long even though it isn't too bad considering I was dealing with a breakout before.

Sorry to hear about the breakup Soapy. Hope your not feeling too down. Life goes on though...   I think your tretinoin should be ok with the cap off. Don't quote me though, I'm no doctor, or p...

Updated. How are you coming along Soapybubbles?   Anyone know of a good sunscreen that isn't too dry and covers redness well? I think for the flaking I might pick up some Fruit of the Earth Alo...

Updated for day four. Mental aspect of acne is starting to be accepted by myself. Just believing the 'don't give a fuck' attitude towards it. It is hard when you notice people look back multiple ti...

Updated log. The gel seems like it never covers a lot of area, but I have been using the pea-sized amount as directed, plus a little more to cover the area between my lips and nose. I figure a lot o...

Yea I will hope for the both of us that our faces don't explode. I really think its if we have underlying acne that would have popped out anyways, just at different times. You can post here for your...

Hey guys, I have been browsing these forums for a while, just haven't posted much. Today (or tonight I should say) is my first try time for Retin A and Doxycycline. I really hope this works, but I a...
