Yeah, that's hard to tell. It could be your IB. I got my IB around the same you did. What's your dosage? At first, I thought my breakout was from quitting BP. However, I have stopped BP before in the ...

I've never heard of anyone taking Accutane to remove hyperpigmentation. Accutane impairs healing. After all, it causes apoptosis (cell death) in hyper-proliferating cells. Hence, why it is sometimes u...

If you haven't already, I would try the regimen (as LewisS said) and/or a low GI, anti-inflammatory diet (like paleo) first. However, as you probably already know, neither of these methods "cure" acne...

It might have been a little too irritating. Did you try the SA pads as well? 'Cause I've read that using both BP and SA can be too irritating. I would just use the lotion for now until your skin calm...

Might work temporary, but sleep deprivation itself causes hormonal imbalances and could potentially make matters worse later on. :\ Think negative feedback and increased insulin resistance. Both of w...

Yup, I would think so. You really just have to try it out and see. Of course, if it gets too irritating, you can always try other, more gentler BP products and see how that goes. You should call your ...

I feel like putting make up on makes me more myself than not putting make up on. I do not consider acne or red marks as part of myself, so covering it up allows others to see the real me, you know? (t...

Quite a few prescriptions actually combine BP and clindamycin phosphate (like Acanya and Benzaclin). I'm not sure how effective a BP wash would be though. I'd look up reviews if you haven't already.

I never liked Revlon Colorstay. It felt way too heavy and cakey. For the time being, I am using Vichy/Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation. Pretty good coverage and it has spf, but it does make yo...

Yeah, I would say it's safe to use now. I would mix a little bit in with your current cleanser and use it only at night to see how your skin will react. Then you can gradually increase the amount you...

Stop taking accutane immediately and contact your doctor. That's a more serious side effect than the usual dryness. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes, stick with a gentle cleanser and simple moisturizer. I'm using Cetaphil Cleanser and Cerave Moisturizing Lotion. I also mix in some jojoba oil from time to time. Aquaphor also has a lip balm. But...

Thanks again! I will be sure to ask my derm about those medications.

You weigh about 50kg. A daily dose of 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/day is typical (25-50mg/day for you), but sometimes Derms go higher, particularly for severe and/or body acne. If you took 80mg/day then that would ...

Hey guys, I'm currently almost 2 weeks into my first accutane course. I'm pretty sure I'm going through my IB right now. Lots of pustules on my sore, itchy face. The effects are kicking in. My lips...

Accutane might help but I think you would only find the results temporary considering you have PCOS. It's more due to an imbalance in hormones. I would focus on a low glycemic diet, taking the right b...

I think by wheat you mean gluten (a binding protein found in more things than just wheat, such as rye and barley)? Quite a few people have found that going gluten free has helped clear their acne. Yo...

I use Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation as my concealer. It's the same as Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation. Then I brush on mineral makeup over it. Dermablend also sells cover creme, which...

IMO, I really don't think your acne is severe enough for Accutane. Have you tried BP (like the regimen)? topical retinoids? diet changes? I would try these things first before considering Accutane. I...
