Prescription acne medications | Forum profile

So I'm back on Differin. My skin did not agree with the Klaron at all. Getting cysts, when I never get cysts, was pretty scary, and wasn't something I was going to mess around with. Luckily, Duac was there to zap the cysts within a few days. I seriously love that stuff for spot treating.

anyone?

I have also been on clindamycin for about a month and a half, it helps with new pimples, but not old ones. As of now, I only have a bunch of inflammed red marks left over. I also take a multi vitamin, vitamin e, chromium, and zinc if this helps you. Good luck I...

I've been using epiduo for about a month now, at first it made my acne worse.. but now it imporved like 10%. I still get burning before I go to bed and my face gets occasionally red sometimes.. people ask how i got sunburn inthe middle of fall haha. most med's for me work for a month or two and then stop working, but we'll see. and you cant have milk or iron with this crap! what the hell are you supposed to eat??

Thanks a lot for your inputs guys, much appreciated! AcniBoi, that pretty much confirmed what I suspected.

Ive been taking Solodyn 115mg for about a month and want to take zinc because i heard it helps with harmonal balance and i think thats the reason for my acne because i just got it when i turned 18.

For the most part, I've done less picking lately and my forehead isn't filled with marks as much as before. How bad was my picking? Well, the right side of my face is jumbled with hyperpigmentation, and I haven't had a pimple...

Well i havent read of anything else that can get you permanent remission even after stopping it. The only other things will be diet (for some people), and just growing out of it i guess.

Hi, I wanted to share something of what at this point I'm going to call a freak accident.

Now let me just say that I had severe and I mean severe Acne and I'm almost 30, I got white heads, black heads, nodules, huge huge huge blood and puss filled pimples all over my back, neck and face.
