Hello everyone! My name is Ashley and I am a sixteen year old girl. Since I have been in the 4th grade, I have suffered from absolutely horrible acne, and honestly, it has been the worst experience of my life. I have tried basically every over the counter treatment like Clearasil and other sorts of things. I also went of Proactiv in the 8th grade for about a year, and it worked wonderfully. I was so happy and thought that I had found a miracle cure. But then it suddenly stopped working and I started breaking out horribly again so I switched to the Extra Strength Proactiv, but that only worked for a few months after and then stopped working. I went to about 4 different dermatologists hoping they could help me with my acne problem, but they all give me medications that never work. Except one doctor that I recently went to told me that I should go on a pill called %26quot;Acutane%26quot; for 5 months and it will supposedly completely clear my acne for the rest of my life! Now I have never heard of this pill and I find it too good to be true. So I was wondering if anyone has ever used it and if it really works. Because I was told that it can effect your liver, which is kind of scary, so I%26#039;m not sure what to think? But unfortunately, even if I do go on this pill, I can%26#039;t go on it until March because I am getting rhinoplasty in December, and since the pill can effect the body%26#039;s healing process, I would need to wait 3 months after my surgery to go on it. So until March, I need to come up with something to keep my face clear and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I am so desperate and will take any advice!! Currently, I am back using Proactiv because I%26#039;m so desperate, but it isn%26#039;t working at all and my face is a mess :( So PLEASE give me any advice because I%26#039;m going into my Junior year of high school and am pretty sick of this horrible acne business! Thank you all so much!|||Well we are on the same boat here.
Iv tried everything! Nothing seems to help i went to the dermo. they gave me some stuff called rtreatna or somthing llike that..
It made my face so horriable i stoped going. He also said accutane was the only left to try. But there was so many side effects of it i didnt want on it.. I went back to using proactiv again.. It worked for about a month then it stoped working for me.. So then i started using a salaysilic acid bar then a sulfur bar it still didnt help me. I startted using pure alocholon my face with a cotton ball didnt help. My mom read in a magazine that eating tomatoes everyday was good. Also if you could lay a tomato on your face for 10 mins the take a slice and rub it all over you face, it said that that was realy good bc the acids the tomatos had in it, You supposta do it every week.. I herd on the comp. about extra strength proactiv, i just got it in the mail today so im gonna try it. Have you tried the extra stregth?
Well also if you put a heating pad on your face twice aday is supposta be good..
hope i helped..|||Antibiotics (usually low does of tetracycline or erythromycin given orally or topically) help to control the inflammatory of acne by blocking the growth of theses bacteria.
