Please help I'm breaking out horribly right now and desperate to hear people's experiences to give me some hope.

I had a dreadful cystic acne breakout 3 weeks into taking sertraline/zoloft (another SSRI) but had no skin problems in several years of taking venlafaxine/effexor (an SNRI). I certainly would never to...

Hi guys, so I am back on this forum after having relatively clear skin for the past couple of years because having come off the Dianette I am now breaking out horribly again! My doctor won't prescribe...

Your skin doesn't become immune to benzoyl peroxide no matter how long or how much you use of it so I'd say it's definitely worth a shot. The 10% will probably be very drying and the irritation itself...

I know the feeling..... 24 and been dealing with it 10 years as well. That said it's been a lot better the past year *fingers crossed* because of a combination of Epiduo and cutting out all dairy from...

I tried the regimen ages ago and my skin was just red raw the whole time even after several months. I don't think bp is supposed to be applied more than once a day personally so I would go with what y...

Please please please please please help. I am going out of my mind here. For the fourth time in as many weeks doing my volunteering with children a child has asked my why I look so sweaty and I know i...

  I would say don't use both at the same time. If I were you I'd keep using the Retin A at night and use the BP in the morning. Also make sure you're using a good moisturiser as the combination ...

  I'd say it's not a cyst but it's hard to tell what it actually is because the photo is quite blurry. I'd spot treat it with Epiduo three or four times a day and see if that reduces it. Usually...

  Well there's no sure way of telling, but it sounds to me you have a pretty good chance of growing out of it around the same time your parents did, especially if it's mild at the moment. Sadly ...

  Bach Rescue Remedy is pretty good. I used it to get me through my driving tests. You put a few drops on your tongue.

  You shouldn't take Accutane in any way, shape, or form without proper consultation and instruction by your doctor. It's a very dangerous medication if you get it wrong. Could you see your doct...

Well my father is a psychiatrist, so not exactly an expert in skin, but he does have a medical degree and did emergency medicine and surgery for a while earlier on in his career. He says the first thi...

  Currently still on it but about to stop over the next couple of weeks so I shall let you know!

  I know this post will be controversial as it goes against what most people tell you about cysts and nodules and severe acne in general. But my experience has been so different that I felt like...

  Yeh it should say on the leaflet what supplements you shouldn't take with it, can't remember off the top of my head. No initial breakout for me, it just started improving slowly over a couple ...

  Bump. Please share your experiences of this if you've done it! Thanks x

  Should definitely help mild acne as it got my severe acne under reasonable control within a couple of months. Do be careful about supplements though as they can interact with it.

  I've had exactly the same experience as MissMia. If I leave cysts they scar, if I CAREFULLY drain them as soon as they're near enough to the surface for me to be able to then they don't scar a...

Yes I am still breaking out on two doses but the spots aren't the deep nodules like before, more like regular whiteheads. I've been on single dose lymecycline for nearly 2 years now but the double do...
