Thanks for all your pictures and comments, That is really helpful. I am curious to hear your long term results post all treatments. I have been using dermal rollers daily and have noticed minor results but nonetheless I can see improvements in fine lines and texture, so maybe that's a cheaper alternative to follow up, they cost less than $200. The theory is the same to punch small holes in the skin and produce the collagen to heal them. Might be worth looking into. I also had acne every month since I was 16. Every month 3 weeks of breakouts and one no breakouts - frustrating. Then I supplemented with Iodine and voila over a year now and no breakouts except here and there and tiny, really nothing. I only took the iodine pills for 4 months and not since and still no breakouts. It may not be the issue but it was hormonal for me too and iodine worked. I got a bottle from Kripps pharmacy in vancouver - ioplex-sr. It did get worse and then resolved. My sister took the iodine and started to break out so she stopped after 2 weeks so who knows. Iodine is supposed to make acne worse but it also helps the thyroid produce the proper hormones so maybe that's the key.
