hello! i am a 14 yr old female, and i have had acne since i was about 12. my acne is moderate... i have had some flare ups which have resulted in my skin being covered with scars everywhere: my cheeks, chin, forehead, mouth area. in addition, my skin is very very oily, and my pores are bigger than normal. i have tried 2 acne medications and about 8 topical creams.
Hello! So 9 days ago my dermatologist put me on 40mg Accutane a day and gave me a Tretinoin 0,02% and Glycolic Acid 4% gel to use every night. The first 4 days it burned my skin very bad but after that I guess it got used to it. Its still red though but doesnt hurt. But now I see that the area of my enlarged pores has gotten larger. It used to be only on my nose and the sides of the nose but the pores are visible on my cheeks and they look very enlarged. Is this normal?
I over-exfoliate so much as a teen on top of having constant inflammation and acne that I did not treat properly. I now have scar-prone skin that looks dull and dehydrated no matter what I do. There is a ruddy texture around my jaw and very mild scarring everywhere. I'm really desperate for a solution but everyone recommends what I know for certain would only ruin my skin. I've tried Retinoids and it enlarged my pores and gave me severe redness for over a year. What else can I do? Accutane?
my skin is very resilient and i use the .1 every night with out peeling.. my issues are large pores and preventative wrinkles.. with some previous shallow scars. My doctor placed me on this to help with the texture of my skin and it helps a lot .. I'm worried if i stop that my skin texture will suffer.
I do not really get many large pimples; but I have clogged pores with whiteheads, blackhead and the occasional small pimple. Can going on a third course of Accutane help with my problem or will it actually make it worse? I have tried a lot of different topical solutions and using Differen now, but does not really help much.
I am 47 and have severly oily skin and very large pores. I have these very enlarged pores allover my face that I have to go in multiple times a year to get hot looped off my face. I am also noticing rosacea around my nose and on one side of my face. I have tried just about everything out there. These enlarged pores are getting more visable I would like to try a low dose of accutane but I am unsure how to find one. How do I find a doctor who is willing to work with me and give it a try
