I am 23 yearr and for a last few mounts i have acnes just on my cheeks.i dont have cysts and my hormons are ok.my dermo recomended me roaccutane for 6 months,but my gynocologyst recomended me diane 35 for 3 months,he told me that after i am finish with roaccutane i need to wait minimum one year to get pregnant.so now i dont know what to do.please write if anyone have some experience.thanks.

i am almost 13 now. and i have had acne since i was about 9. then, it was just a few blackheads on my chin. but my dad took me to the dermatologist and she gave me very strong medication that totally dried out and ruined my skin. i tried to be my own doctor…but that didnt work too well. i have pretty sensitive skin. now i have blackheads all over my chin, nose, lightly on my cheeks. i have had cysts and pustules, nodules etc. everything but white heads, pretty much. i have red PIH left over from old pimples…but they stay read and a little inflamed for a while and then just come back. li have been on proactiv, and it made everything worse. i am really ready to try something else and to have clear skin.

so basicallly…

i am reluctant to go back to the dermatologist because i am scared that they will put me on very strong perscription again. but maybe i should…??? or i could get an extraction facial and just start fresh on a new regimen?

i was looking at clinique acne system, the body shop’s acne line, any other suggestions?

oh please i need help.

my son is a month old and has litle red bumps on his cheeks and neck, what can i do to help them go away?

I have been using Panoxyl for about 3 days now, and while I know it is a little early to tell, the morning after my face was very red, very dry, very tight, (it did not go away all day) and i had a lot of new acne on my foreheard, and a couple of painful cysts on my cheeks (after using Panoxyl foaming acne wash and panoxyl acne treatment foam). I also began to peel a little bit around my mouth and eyes. I do use a moisturizer and spot treatment. Should I stop using this?

i’ve had acne for a few years. i’m 16 and started the birth control a few months ago in hopes of stopping my acne. before the b.c, it was never cystic and now it’s cystic. i’m in tears almost every night because i’m so frustrated with my face and this incessant struggle with acne. i’m using paula’s choice, an acne product system that works, but i’m developing cysts ever since i tried birth control. i’ve tried everything like proactiv and pills and creams but nothing works. accutane is my last resort. will it work? how long will it take?

*acne is only on the side of my forehead + jawline/cheeks. not chin/nose/center forehead. these cysts are painful too! a lot of my forehead/cheeks are scars, but theres 2 main groups of the bumps/cysts that are pissing me off*
