For me, any new spots I get are healing much quicker at the moment. I think it's because they're less severe than before & closer to the surface, so the damage isn't quite as collateral. Redness t...

Is there much point in the peel then? Personally I would avoid messing with my skin & just complete the Accutane course. Sounds like it's worked really well for you.

antibiotics is the reason why it is like that Stop posting this everywhere, antibiotics are not the cause of every single problem going & it's annoying- clearly you have had a bad experience but...

What tips are you waiting for? Your dermatologist gave you sound advice. You can't cure acne overnight.

Seems I stand completely corrected. The best course of action for your acne is clearly to sit on your arse and do nothing

I have Facebook & I'd say I'm in contact with a good chunk of my "friends". It's especially good for catching up with old ones & organising events. My status updates are all very clever indee...

Weirdly, I didn't really care back in school as a lot of friends and others had acne to a varying degree & it just seemed more acceptable. My acne was touching on severe at points. Looking back at...

A punch straight into his nose would've been more disfiguring.

I think there are other birth control pills that are better for treating acne, but I've no idea if they would be appropriate for you if your current ones are treating a specific imbalance. Also I've ...

Decided to update! Day 32 (probably): It's a friends' birthday this weekend so been seeing lots of people & going out. I'm actually quite clear at the moment, aside from a few small spots, one o...

It's just your skin healing. Make sure the stuff you're using on your face isn't too irritating.

You could try an electric razor. But might be cause for a trip back to the Derm

Um, what? So you agree with advice telling people to not go & see their doctor, and instead just sit at home and suffer? Doctors do not make Acne worse. Acne becomes worse, and people need somet...

Because seeing a doctor automatically gets rid of your acne, right? Doctors made my acne worse, fuck them. What is it with this board and these dumbass comments?

There is no harm taking both antibiotic and accutane at the same time, I had a terrible initial breakout in 2nd week of accutane and my derm did put me on Azithromycine for 2 weeks and i wasn't taken ...

Or see a doctor now... You don't have to live with it.

I doubt you'd need to tell her your back story apart from you've exhausted other treatment options, and if you have body acne, you're an ideal candidate. For me & I think most others, the side ef...

The biggest problem with taking a high dose are the severity of the usual side effects of Isotretinoin- dry skin/lips/eyes, eczema, nosebleeds etc. The blood tests are actually there because a minori...

You really need some proper medication, and to see a dermatologist. I don't really understand your logic of not willing to put your body "through" any kind of antibiotic, birth control or accutane, bu...

It sounds like it's clearing up. There isn't a lot you can do about the red marks, but they always eventually disappear. Concentrate on keeping the active acne away

There isn't a difference. Both are factors related to eachother, and both are a factor in acne.

Amazing the amount of people on these boards that know better than dermatologists!

^^ Looks like someone isn't getting any. Carmusen, he has probably noticed anyway and obviously doesn't care!

Evidently not considering number of accepted studies later determined to be not just wrong, but fraudulent. I imagine the money involved in medicine makes it a completely different ballgame than your...

The same really, changes seem to be very slow at the moment. I'm still getting hardly anything new & I have one particularly annoying spot that's been there for months & refuses to go away! (n...
