I'm in a similar situation. I'm 25, my first blemish was at age 9 and I began to chronically break out bad at age 12 and onward. I've done 2 course of Accutane (one HS and one college) and countless o...

That's too bad it felt rushed. I'm sure he/she just wants to take an aggressive approach to get you to stop breaking out ASAP since you probably already have some scarring ? if you've had acne 10+ yea...

Good idea with spiro. I actually was on it a long time ago in combination with antibiotics, so I could mention it again to my derm now (he's seriously willing to put me on anything, which is great, be...

Yes, I have been using Purpose moisturzier since high school. It's what my derm recommended. Also just started Ziana and am experiencing peeling and a LOT of itching along my jaw where my acne is bad....

Hi, I'm 25 and still getting acne. When I was 16 AND 21 I did Accutane. The first time, I had pretty clear skin for about a year or so, and in college the second time, I saw almost no satisfaction aft...
