I asked my derm about this after about 1 month of accutane. She told me that it wasn't newly formed acne, but rather, the spots/infection sitting under my skin. My acneic skin was purging all that bad...

Nichole, take a deep breath and try to relax. Most people do get the initial breakout. I just started my second round so I haven't gotten it yet, but during my first round it cleared the acne up reall...

Sorry for not answering in so long. I've had much improvement since a year ago, just using the Jenny Ann's Mineral Foundation. It is just a powder, but after I wash my face I apply a witch hazel toner...

If I were you I would go into sephora and have one of the girls find a shade for you maybe even help you apply it they know what they are doing. I agree. Since most cosmetics can irritate skin condi...

its a really good product. take 1.5 tsp. Get the royal butter blend. When i was on it, my skin looked great. Im going back on it. Reason why i stopped was money. Yeah it is expensive. too late i jus...

Zinc is known to possibly help improve acne, Vitamin C will fight free radicals which can age your skin, and Vitamin E helps elasticity and can aid in fading acne scars (though some say it breaks them...

Oh that's what it sounds like. You're clearly not acne prone so there is a good chance what you're dealing with is something in acneiform eruption family induced by the meds or something else. I hop...

Nope, not Seroquel. I've been on that in the past, though. Didn't react well to it. Is this going to end up being a guessing game? I already said I would respectively refrain from naming it. did you...

Of couse you hormones came back normal. acne has little to do with hormones and more to do with genetics (how your skin sheds, how active your oil glands are and your inflammatory response). Also meds...

I've been away for a bit because I've been focusing on getting to root of this. Here's a follow up on this post: Both my OBGYN and my GP basically only gave me the derm. option. Well, my GP's office...

Hey, I have the same experience too, doctors don't want to find out the root cause why you have all these symptoms, they just prescribe you some drugs to hide the symptoms. Basically you are left on y...

Last week I went to my OBGYN to get my hormones tested. I currently don't have a derm. because honestly, after going through 3 pretty bad ones in the past, I don't trust them. I really want to get to ...

Recently, I started breaking out. I kept trying to figure out why since I eat mostly healthy things. I eat lots of fruits and vegetable. I did have a breakout from eating too much dairy one week, but ...

I'm sorry if I sounded condescending, that was not my intention. I was just speaking from my own experience and from what I have heard from my friends. Last year I stopped BP and decided to try water ...

So xdevochkax, have you made any plans yet how you try to beat that evil acne now that you have stopped BP? Acne usually comes back with a vengeance after stopping BP. I'm really not sure if this is...

Welcome xdevochkax! Let's crack this acne nut together! I have taken allergy test and the only things I was allergic was birch and timothy grass. I have considered taking food sensitivity test but I h...

Hi all! This is my first post in this forum. I've recently just quit The DK Regimen, and I'm not bashing it because it really did kill my acne, but my skin never really got used to it. A really horr...

There is no other option, I'm sorry to tell you. Accutane is the ONLY non-hormonal, non-antibacterial, and non-antibiotical pill you can take for acne, other than vitamins that are known to help reduc...

Well, I think it's safe to say The Regimen is not for me. I have had significantly bad reactions each round I've done and I'm not going to risk a third. A little less than a week ago my eyes started b...

I agree that you shouldn't go on it. I have personal experience with this. I have bipolar disorder and at the time I was on Lamictal and Lexapro (not on Lexapro anymore because the mixture caused me t...

Anyone?

Updating: I was holding off on posting this until I could see how my skin would react to it. On the 6th I upped the BP again to a little less than a full pump- about 3/4 pump or so. Morning and night...
