Hi all, Little bit of background: my acne cleared up nicely with lymecycline, but now I've become resistant to it and my acne has been flaring up again (although not as bad as before thankfully). I've...

A few months ago, my chin started getting really dry and even though I moisturise it daily, it doesn't make much of a difference  I have to apply micellar water to a cotton pad to wipe my ...

My GP decided to take me off the antibiotics, and so I'm kind of terrified my spots will come right back  I took my last tablet today, so I'm hoping the epiduo will be sufficient enough&Ac...

21 hours ago, meka88 said: Just finished reading your entry. I have been on Lymecycline for two weeks now. Have you had to go on it again after your first cycle? You skin looks great by the way...

Day 51 So I was supposed to post pictures last Friday, but university has kept me so very busy! It's been just a little over 7 weeks and I'm very pleased with the progress my skin has made. I don't ge...

Day 36   It's been exactly 5 weeks since I've started taking lymecycline and using epiduo, and I have to say I've seen a real improvement currently I have one small pimple and maybe 2/3 red bum...

Day 27   My skin is having a mini breakout which started yesterday. It's not as bad as my previous ones and nowhere near as horrible as the initial breakout, but it's still making me slightly up...

Hi mmo0690   So you'll probably have to go see your derm in about a week or so? And how's the isotrex so far? Have you been using it for a while? Hopefully it helps along with the lymecycline. ...

Day 22   I'm happy to say that my initial breakout ended a few days ago and so far my skin progress has been going uphill...hope I don't jinx it or anything! Currently I have a pimple on my righ...

Thanks for the motivation I'm such an impatient person, but I'm definitely willing to continue with it for at least 3 months. I did use differin last year but only for a little over 2 months, so I sh...

Day 17   So my skin progress has gone downhill sadly Over these past few days I've been breaking out and now I have 6 inflamed pimples on my chin and jawline (it's those horrible yellow ones, t...

Hi   Unfortunately I haven't tried the yakult yet...I keep forgetting to and it keeps getting taken. But I shall try it tomorrow! And yup, I think the probiotic pills will help along with the y...

Hi mmo0690   I'm really glad to hear you're making good progress! Hopefully your skin continues to improve and the inflamed ones on your face can stop coming up...and you're right, time does fl...

Day 13   So, unfortunately 2 pimples came up on my chin...they're slightly painful and inflamed, and are the pus-filled ones I usually get, however they're not as big as before so I'm quite happ...

  Hope everything works well for you. Just be careful with accutane it is a very powerful course of treatment. There's a lot of side effects associated with accutane that include depression, ...

Day 12   I have 3 little whiteheads on my left jawline and one other on my right jawline...thankfully though they're really small and drying up already I hope the progress continues...plus my t...

I'll let you know how it goes and keep me updated on the antibiotics and additional supplements progress

Yeah I think home remedies do help a little, especially diet apparently that seems to make a difference for a lot of people anyway, you have a back up option of asking your insurer to refer you to a...

I see why you don't want to be reliant on him...plus you've done extra things like adding supplements, etc. which seems to be beneficial did you get referred to your derm by the NHS or did you go pri...

Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure the vitamin C serum I buy has vitamin E also. I was going to buy it separately which would've been more expensive!   My skin looks so similar to yours! The de...

Thanks for telling me all of this...it's very useful information! I really want to try out the vitamin C for redness...I have a lot of red marks on my jawline and would like to bring that down. But i...

Do the supplements you take help at all? I have cod liver oil at home but I haven't gotten round to taking it. I've also heard about matcha tea, is it any good? I drink green tea daily instead, but th...

Oops, for some odd reason I couldn't quote you back properly...   But anyway, thanks for replying!   So the doxy did a better job than the lymecycline then? I'm really scared because my acne...
