I have recently noticed my gums have been bleeding more than usual...at first I thought I was brushing too hard or my toothbrush was vibrating too fast (I use those electric ones from Costco)... but t...

I just finished my second month of Dianne and I'm breaking out like crazy. Mid month I was starting to see some improvement but that didn't last. How long is this going to take? I was on Dianne two ye...

Hi there!   I started taking birth control (Alesse) in October, but my face had completely broken out with cystic acne within a month. (I rarely had any kind breakouts prior ro this). My doctor ...

Ok, so my new birth control has caused these awful breakouts (red papules all over chin cheeks and forehead) but I'm on the third month and waiting it out. I have a dermatologist appointment in a lit...

My grandpa would always be like, "What is on your face!?' or "Stop picking it and it won't scar!" (They scar no matter what).Or it's something they do...My grandpa randomly bought me ProActiv. On the ...

I'm on my break week of the first month of ortho cyclen (actually the generic - Sprintec) but I'm wondering when I will clear. How bad was your acne before hand? And when did u start seeing any improv...

      This sounds like what happened to me. When I went on Alesse, about 2 weeks in I started breaking out everywhere and I also thought it was getting worse before it was getting ...

Hi!! When I got on Ortho-lo, I had an initial breakout, but it wasn't bad. I have cystic acne every day (not just during my period) that are on my cheeks and chin. My forehead is ALWAYS clear. However...

When I switched from Aubra (the generic levonogestern/ethinyl estradiol pill from hell, no thanks, planned parenthood) to Yaz, I did NOT experience an initial breakout. This may have been on account o...

Hi Tnorm, well it's almost been one week for me, woohoo! Since I started on my period, I had possibly the worst cramps I have ever had! They are always bad, one reason I started it in the first place,...

Ooops sorry, just saw you use a topical already. That one is pretty intense and will help but nothing really helps the cystic ones besides steaming them or hot compresses to dissolve them. I still thi...

After years of fighting with acne that would never completely leave and would get worse around my period, I have always known it had something to do with my hormones. However, I have been terrified of...

Hi there. I just got off of ziana for three months because it did nothing for me. I'm back on epiduo which cleared me last year within 3 months. During that time I was taking 100 mg of doxy each night...

Hi! So glad to hear that I am not alone haha, Epiduo round 2 for me too! I'll start it tonight. Let's cross our fingers there will not have any purge, like it did two years ago! I cannot forget how...

I'm on my 3rd month of ziana..... Not loving it)): how are you doing?

ANYONE? PLEASE)):

Maybe it's not the Ziana that's the problem, but the Tea tree oil? That stuff is strong and I believe it should be diluted - you shouldn't put it full-strength all over your face. I've also heard it d...

Hey guys I could really use some advice. I am 16, female and have been struggling with mild to moderate acne for a few years now. Last year, in 3 months, epiduo and doxycycline cleared my skin beautif...
