Hello, I would urge you to listen to BrokenPorEcelain, she knows what she is talking about. And so do I, a retinoid also ruined my skin. I would suggest you read her thread , there are pictures of her...

I saw him, the Allergist, about a year ago, before all of this madness started, I have been seeing his PA since. Swear to god, the PA's that I have seen since this nightmare started have done nothing ...

Hello, I second the Spironolactone recommendation. Unlike dmd123235 my skin only got better and better when I started it. And like you, I had tried everything else besides Accutane. Just remember that...

Hey, Just wanted to let you know that I saw my Allergist/Immunologist today for the heinous facial flushing/burning/swelling, etc., etc. My face apparently can't even tolerate daylight anymore. Guess ...

Just wanted to share, just in case anyone was thinking of using this crap on their face too. Note the horrible texture on my cheek, it is similar to this all over b...

We have got to be dealing with the same thing, everything that you say I can see on my own face. Yes, the odd lumpy, bubbly, curdled look to the skin like acid ate it away. I too hope that it only loo...

Vitamin C Supplements have never triggered acne for me. I take 1,000mg every day. Good luck!

Hello, I like the Estee Lauder Perfectionist Foundation MUCH better than the Double Wear. The Double Wear was very drying on my skin. In fact, the Perfectionist is the best foundation that I have foun...

Hey, It's Ripples, I have been following your progress on here, no need to e-mail me back, we can keep each other up to date here, maybe it would be best so that others can see... I am so glad that yo...

I have never been on Accutane, but I can tell you that a topical (Retin A) has caused more damage (maybe permanent) to my face than any oral med ever has. Good luck!

Hello, I did notice my weight fluctuate a lot in the first 3 to 4 months on Spiro. Nothing crazy, only 7 pounds or so (I usually weigh about 120). But, after being on it longer my weight stabilized an...

Hello! I noticed less greasy skin and hair within a week and no new clogged pores. After that my skin just got better and better. I had no Initial Breakout as others have ( Just lucky I guess-even t...

Hello, I am sorry to hear that this is happening! I have never had trouble with an IB when changing doses of Spiro or even starting it. Though I did get the worst cyst (I don't typically have these) I...

Hi! Your skin looks like it is making really great progress, Congrats! Just a few questions... Do you have any facial flushing, burning or broken capillaries on your cheeks? These things go along with...

I think that you are very pretty, you are young and this acne should not linger forever, but you need to find treatment that will help. Have you tried Spironolactone or birth control pills? Best Reg...

I started with the Retin A 0.01% Gel every night for 1 month, then the 0.025% Gel every night for the next month, then dropped back to every other night for the next 5 months. 7 months total. I knew t...

Hello, I am sorry that this happened to you. I do want to tell you that Retin A can cause more damage that just causing a purge/more acne. It has ruined my life. I persisted for 7 months despite knowi...
