Question: How to treat my acne?
I am a 19 year old female. I really dont know what my “adult” face looks like with out it, and lately I have kind of been in despair . I started acne right at the beginning of the 6th grade before everyone else did and it progressively got worse. I tried, clearisil, oxy, pro active, acne free, neutrogena, witch hazel and other natural cures, cetaphil, tazorac(of many strengths), retin a (of many strengths). I also did all the oral/ topical antibiotics. None of that worked, I was then 16 my acne was severe and I had cystic nodular acne I went on acutane which worked sort of. My acne slowly started creeping back, but no more cysts. I went back to the derm and they stated it was odd, they prescribed me duac. It didnt work, now I am on Altretin and Aczone which prefabricated me break out HORRENDOUSLY! (i didnt stop using it btw just in case it was a herx reaction but it wasnt) It’s so frustrating and depressing. On top of that I’m losing my health insurance so I can’t go on acutane again, I have one more trip to the derm, so one more perscription chance. I dont want to do birth control, and I dont really think my hormones have to do with my acne(neither does my derm). I also do drink tons of water. I sanitize my face, moisturize, and exofoliate regulary but I dont over sanitize either Do you think cutting dairy will help? Its the one thing I havent tried, any ideas or awesome products?
The only things I havent tried are Azelex,Spironolactone/Aldactone any successes with them? Please please some one help!
