Half of the dermatologists (the public health care one in my country) are idiots that don't asses the psychological effect on the patient. Moreover they can be so idiotic that don't event understand t...

Exactly the same story as OP, since last June. Been on Accutane a number of times (low dose 10-20mg per day). When I went on it last June I increased the dose to 30 even 40mg. Also washed face with ha...

Hold tight. Push the dermatologist to solve your problem and constantly remind him that you still have the problem. Also remind your general practitioner. Good luck.

If you dont see at least 50 60% improvement after 12 weeks you should definitely add the minocycline oral antibiotic. One month of taking that and you will be 100% clear.

I would definitely suggest Minocycline antibiotic, and after one month low dose accutane (5-10 mg long term as maintainance). On minocycline you could be less harsh with topicals (so you allow your sk...

Researches say cumulative dose (the total taken dose at the end of therapy!) is the only important thing on the success of clearance of acne, and long term clearance of acne. This should be around 80-...

Cerave has a lot of good ingredients for skin I heard. I have both of them, and they smell and feel similar, although am afraid to put any of them on my face :D. I wash with water only (boiled and coo...

Sorry for long time no reply. I really don't know what to moisturize with or to wash my face with. I wash with boiled and cooled on room temperature water, and use Minocycline antibiotic (for 20 days)...

What do you mean didn't work. It cleared you up by the end of course? What I would suggest is long term low dose Accutane, 5-10mg/day for 9-12 months. If I could turn back time I would do that regim...

I was on accutane low dose a number of times. Helped perfectlyt. And minocycline 2 times helped perfectly. Currently was on accutane 3 months, moderate dose, helped perfectly in 3 weeks. But then some...

Sounds like a good combo 10mg accutane and oral(?) ery. The alternative i can think of is some kind of tetracycline antibiotic. btw I totally feel with you!

How are you doing? Have you started Minocycline?

How is it going? how your appointment went? Do you get scars from acne?

Do you get scars?

I had bad acne and Minocycline stopped new pimples in about 3-4 weeks, was completely clear in 2 months. Then my derm put me on low dose isotretinoin to stay clear for some more time. I got second cou...

I opened a new topic, but I will reply here also. Tryed a lot, Minocycline worked perfectly, Accutane (just 10-20mg) also (a number of times). Up to couple of months ago. I'm now 3 months into accuta...

Hi guys. Had number of low dose courses of Accutane (10-20mg, 4 months at most, with perfect results). Last time, 6 months ago I got one big scar from very small pimple while on accutne but my skin go...
