Open Loneliness
db2xs hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Acne
i have had bad acne in the past, i fear it may come back
Treatments
- Accutane Working / Worked
- This is the only thing that worked for me, but the consequences were major. I had to take hormonal birth control (read my comments about that) and the process is excrutiating--the govt/insurance companies make it a pain in the butt for anyone to get it, esp women.
- Apple Cider Vinegar Not Working
- It was a placebo for me
- Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
- Reduced the sizes of pimples, that's about it
- Dermabrasion Not Working
- Made my skin feel good in the beginning, but nothing else really changed
- Minocycline Not Working
- Did nothing for me.
- Retin-A Somewhat Helpful
- Good for scars, definitely. Don't forget sunscreen and hats!
- Tetracycline Somewhat Helpful
- side effects: massive hair loss after stopping. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS. This is a side effect that may not affect everyone, but i know it affects many women, so PLEASE CONSIDER THIS. None of my clinicians or doctors ever told me about this, and then my dermatologist ended up confirming that yes, this happens a lot. A TON of my hair has fallen out--my ponytail is half the thickness it used to be.
- Washing Somewhat Helpful
- Acne is hormonal-based, but obviously one should keep their face clean.
