To the OP: I hope you get some sort of proper help from your derm. I do believe that antibiotics are not the answer, they are obviously not helping. In your place, I would bite the bullet and go onto...

Sorry to drag up this thread, but I've got some 'long-stay' bumps too! These are new thing for me - I'm on the very last leg of Accutane (just 2 more weeks to go!) and I first got one a few months ago...

I've been using double wear for years and I don't believe it contributed to my acne. During all those years, I've had clear spells and breaking out spells and the worst acne I ever got was on my nec...

Hi Matt Thanks for sharing your story and pics. The acne looks really painful! You're very brave to keep going {{{{hugs}}}}   Have you been back to the derm...maybe another course of accutane w...

Looking good!

Fantastic, love the Sulphur bath pic! Looks an amazing place and it must have been so good to not have to worry about your skin.   If you find anything that works 100% for the dratted jawline, le...

Fantastic result! How many months have you been using Finacea again? It does seem your results have been quite gradual, so it's very encouraging to me to keep going with this topical.   I'm so ...

Oh no, she sounds totally sh1t   Honestly, I really don't know what some of these doctors/derms are up to...I mean to say, your own GP could have prescribed you Retin A or an antibiotic. The on...

Oooooh, good luck at the derm! Will be interested to know what they say, report back!

Interesting post! I've been thinking of making some sort of homemade spot treatment with zinc, but haven't tried it, as wasn't sure if putting 100% zinc on was a good idea (or not?).   Also, I th...

Oh no, poor you. It does sounds like an allergy and maybe some sort of chemical burn type reaction?   I'd go to see a derm as a matter of urgency! And probably not put anything on your face clean...

Wow, that is a really great improvement on your back!   How do you plan to maintain the improvement, will you scale the Finacea back to every second day, or do you need to keep going with it eve...

I've just started Finacea (day 1!) so have read your Blog with great interest. I think your skin looks a lot better.   The only thing I would say re. the jawline breakouts (which I get too) is t...

So I started up taking supplements again the other week - 50mg zinc, cod liver oil, Vit B complex.   I noticed last time with taking zinc, for a few days, my oiliness really reduced (but then wen...

Hm, I really think that if you try to pop it again, you'll end up with a bigger infection and it'll be worse in the long term.    

Yeah, I do have moderate acne that flares up bad sometimes -almost clears off at other times.   When having a bad breakout, I don't feel at all attractive or sociable, I would be lying if I said ...

Hm, well I suppose I say 'bad skin' because acne is a skin disease...so it's not healthy skin.   The laws of the Darwinian jungle dictate that animals tend to look for the healthiest partner with...

Frank, are you trying to get a date on here? LOL!   I think it's very sweet of you to say that some guys dont care about bad skin in women.

I used to make my own cleanser with live natural yogurt, Vit E oil (to remove make up) and honey. It is really nice and very gentle. Good as a mask too. I can't think that it cleared my acne totally,...

No real advice I'm afraid but     {{{{{{{ HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} to you, I really hope that something will help you soon!   One little thing that I find helps with emotional trauma and overwh...

OMG, I've just read (virtually all of) this thread in one sitting! And it's 2am. I think I'm becoming addicted to the Org   Anyway - further to previous post - what a remarkable young man, trem...

Oh, this sounds great!   I get my worst spots usually during and just after my period - so this could be really good, if it helps. I googled it and it's called Feminax Ultra here in the UK and wa...
