I saw improvement in my skin tone and overall health when starting the herpanacine, but I think for me it's the combination of all the vitamins, minerals, and herbs that works. I haven't tried supplem...

I can vouch for the fermented cod liver oil. I have been using it for a year and a half now on and off for a few months at a time followed by a few weeks off or so. I have taken time off for 2 reaso...

Not sure how good of an example this is but the patient was treated with DeepFX (comparable to Fraxel Repair) and is asian.

If its really a cyst or nodule (deep under the skin and takes weeks if not months to go away), the only thing that has ever worked for me personally is a cortisone shot. Topicals, ice, heat, advil ne...

I had a consultation with my dermatologist the other day who has also been treating acne scars since 1990. After looking at my face closely under the worst possible lighting, she said that after 3-5 ...

I has very oily skin and don't cleanse. I think it does more harm than good. I agree. I only use water now to wash my face, still apply my BP, and my results are just as good if not better as there...

I have had acne for a good 14 years now and have used every acne product on the market. One conclusion that I have came to for myself is that using a cleanser is unnecessary. It makes my skin much d...

I am starting my Accutane course in a few weeks (FINALLY) and have a question about BP Use. BP takes what would be severe and widespread acne on my face and makes it pretty minimal (usually 3-5 activ...

Unfortunately the regimen isn't a cure. It will help control your acne while you are still prone to it, but unless you grow out of it or figure out the root cause of your acne, the regimen is nothing...

Hi there Spartan I feel your pain. Im now 28 years of age and I have suffered from Acne mild to severe from 18-28 years of age. Im currently using products that do to some extent suppress my acne but ...

Clear skin> hair so if I go bald than I go bald

I have been through a lot in my 27 years. Extremely hard breakups, deaths of family and friends, tearing my ACL in college and being told that I will never be able to play the sport that I love at th...

Considering that you are much older then the average accutane patient I would strongly advise you not to go on this drug if you're concerned about MBP. A lot of accutane users experience hair loss, ...

While I was blessed with shitty skin genetics (acne still at 26 and I'm a guy...), I do have a really good hairline with thick hair. I don't care if my hair falls out during the course as I will just...

Thanks for this post. Gives me so much more hope starting Accutane the beginning of February. I am 26 and have suffered for a good 15 years. All of the diets, topicals, antibiotics were just bandai...

Well I had my hormones tested and they apparently came back normal. Have eliminated dairy and as much sugar as humanly possible for those 6 months as well to no avail and my dermatologist swears diet ...

I would get back on the Doxy for the time being. While antibiotics aren't good long term, they should enhance the acne.org regimen and help you clear up faster in the short term. When the acne.org re...

After being on the regimen for about 3 years out of the past 13.. (once for a year and another for 2 years), my experience was very similar to what you are saying. I was never clear, my skin was alwa...

I wonder whats the relapse of female and male separately. mhhhhhhh That's a good question. For teenagers, I would guess the relapse rate is higher for females since most guy's hormones stabilize. ...

I think the word 'relapse' is not the best description anyway. I don't think acne can be cured, Accutane just causes long term remission in a lot of people, sometimes lasting a lifetime. I had almost ...

I do not know the actual rates, but unfortunately, I was one of those people who relapsed after accutane. I think the last reason you gave is a possible explanation, and I also think the 66% statistic...

I have read that after being properly dosed, the cure rate for Accutane is around 66%. But why does it seem like everyone on this forum relapses? Improper dosing, the 66% statistic is wrong, or are ...

I am 26 and going on it. Honestly the mental stress that acne puts on my mind and body is worse than any side effect that I could get. While this forum would make you believe that you are going to h...

I think lasers probably give great results under the condition that the laser is ablative (Fraxel Repair, DeepFx), done at the highest setting, and repeated 3-6 times. Other things such as a good die...
