Hello, I recently finished my 8 month course of accutane 5 days ago where I reached 240 mg/kg cumulative dose. Skin looks good, still dry. Anyways, I have two questions: When do you think I could start using power peel multi-acid resurfacing pads and how often should I use?What is the best way to address small pimples and clogged pores? I'm thinking using some on the spot benzoyl peroxide treatment at night would be a good way to target specific spots without drying my entire face up too much.
Any clue what this is & how to get rid of it? For a year+ I've had these bumps on my torso. I'm thin, no skin folds, never sweaty. Wear loose cotton clothing, rarely wear a bra. The bumps are on ribcage between breasts, & upper stomach. It often stings/itches. I've tried benzoyl perox, BHA, AHA, hydrocortizone, Desonide, tretinoin, Hibiclens, Cerave, Mupirocin, Xolegel, doxycycline, Keflex, Spiro, zinc soap, erythromycin, etc...nothing helps. Any ideas?
i suffer from acne, dermatits and folliculitis and i have used benzoyl peroxide as well as doxycycline and clindamycin to treat it but nothing has helped that much should i go for accutane ? i have also been using minoxidil on my face to grow a beard which eventually made my acne worse Thanks
23 year old male. This is with 10 years prescription benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin phosphate and adapelene use and occasional few-month periods of oral antibiotics use. It really sucks. I've done everything out there with very little success. Would accutane be worth the side effects?
I have been off accutane for around a year now. Along with the red marks left behind from my acne that have been slowly fading i now am getting pimples. It is only very mild compared to what i had before however i would like to know what i can do to get rid of these pimples preferarbly without going back on accutane. These new pimples also are leaving behind marks. I also have been using 10% Benzoyl perixide on my spots but it does nothing. Any suggetions to what i could try would be great :)
I have very oily skin with enlarged pores, blackheads, and moderate acne. I currently control the acne and blackheads with an antibacterial facewash (containing Triclosan), twice-daily application of a 2% BHA exfoliant (pH 3.2-3.6) and nightly application of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. I am considering undergoing a course of low dose Accutane (0.15mg/kg/day) to reduce oil production and control my acne. Is continued usage of my BHA permissable for general exfoliation purposes?
