Here's an article on continuous low dose and ultra-low dose maintenance courses of Accutane: (if the link splits into two lines, cut and paste both pieces): http://www.dermatologytimes.com/dermatologytimes/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=65528 The doctor interviewed says it works for people with severe acne as well as those adults whose acne has persisted since puberty.

Hi- I hope this isn't too sensitive a topic to discuss online, but I'm embarrassed to even bring it up with my Primary Physician, and I'm hoping to get some insights here. My OB-GYN suggested a cream, but that didn't do much. I used to have some facial acne problems, but those are pretty much gone now. I never had acne on my back or any other body parts. I don't have acne anywhere now except on my "private parts" around and

I have a major break out on my back and upper parts of my butt. Don't laugh. Has anyone tried the body wash by Proactiv? Did it helped? The back is a hard to reach area. How do you guys clean that area? What would you recommend (besides Jolen creme) to bleach my facail hair? The Jolen stuff doesn't quite do the trick.

Hello all, I have suffered serious acne for about a year now - my face was littered with little spots and so too was my back and part of my chest. I had tried a plethora of creams and ointments to no, long term avail. If I didn't use the creams everyday without fail my acne would return even worse. Even if I did use the creams I would still get a couple of new spots every day or so. I have even tried different diets - none of which had any dramatic influences on my acne. Nonetheless, my...

Hi there I have always tended not to use a moisturiser because it always seemed to make my skin worse. I would use it for a few days and not see an improvevmnt so stop using it. As things couldnt get any worse im thinking about using one. I am going to get proscribed Roaccutane in 2 months so i might as well give it a last shot to see if i do get an improvement. Can anyone recomend a good moisturiser that has worked for them that i could use. I have oily skin and my condition is mainly red...

I'm a 24 year old male and have a mild case of acne. My dermatologist prescribed differin, about 5 or 6 weeks ago and it's not really helping. The acne is only on a few spots on my face, but it never seems to go away. I think shaving irritates the problem. I also have a slight case of razor burn on my neck. Does anyone have any suggestions what might work?? I also have a question about washing my face. I have gotten a few different opinions from friends & family. My mom told me to use my hands...

im 20 and my facial hair, in some areas is thick, but other areas(under my lower lip) is like peach fuzz. I was wondering if saving this area more frequently will make it grow thicker?

I've been on oral medication for two years now (Oxytetracycline) and to honest with you I'm not sure whether its been doing anything for my acne... although the doc says it won't do me any harm to stay on it. Now as for topical treatments I've had a fair few: Dalacin - did nothing at all Eryacne 2% & 4%

Hello there, Do any of you know of a good dermatologist for acne problem in Boston area? Also, is there a web site that you are aware of which have reviews of dermatalogists in the US? Preferably reviews by patients. Thanks a million!

Im looking for some basic rules on how to shave when confronted with acne pustules(around the mouth) and blackheads(around the cheeks). I currently use a single blade razor, shaving with the grain,using little strokes and trying to avoid the pustules. My facial hair has not yet fully developed. However, in the places where it has developed acne seems to have dissapeared. I don't shave everyday, its more like every three days, when I start

hi , i have a problem with my skin, im a nineteen year old male and suffered from spots and acne in my early teens, during this period i washed my face several times a day and used some horible facial washers hoping the spots would go away, by doing this my skin has become very dry and totally rough especially the insides of my cheek, its been like this for a year or so and i was hoping it would go away if i only washed once every 2 days however my skin is still damaged and dry as hell. Is...

Hey, I just got accutane, I don't have a presciption (however I could get one as my acne is bad) but my insurance doesn't cover acne so I have to pay out of pocket. So I just bought the pills online. How do I know how much to take? I weigh 185 pounds, i've read tons about accutane and it seems people my weight are taking 40MG. How long do I keep taking accutane for (until it goes away or the lenght of one dose)? From what I understand all the blood tests check for are triglycerides so...

Heya I was on Accutane for 3 years from 1999 to 2002. My acne cleared up to the point it's 99.9% gone. This winter has been horrible. Since December until now my skin gets flaky over night, it almost constantly peeling. I am using Urea 20% (I can't find 30% anywhere) to moisturieze every day, but it still happens. Any ideas, why or a good way to combat this? Otherwise not much has

Hi- I¨m a 48 year old man that has had severe acne on my back and shoulders since i was 13 years old. I've had two long treatments of accutane which helped greatly. While I no longer have severe acne (large infected boils) I still continue to break out with many pimples on my back and shoulders. I don't see any conection with my diet or emotional state. Anyone have any experience or ideas that might help in finally tackling this problem. I'm really tired of this! Thanks

I started out on 40 mg a day and did great, completly clear. My doctor was very happy and since I had little side effects decided to put me on 80 mg one day and 40 the next. Ever since this increase I have had some of the worst acne in my life. It has been about 3 weeks and it is getting a little better but I am not sure what to do. Should I just go back on 40 a day or wait this out and hope it clears up?

Hello. I'm writing this message on behalf of my wife since I'm the usenet expert in the house... :) My wife (29yrs old) has been on birth control for about the last 10 years or so.. Not Diane-35 but some others.. At around the year 2000 she went off the birth control for about a year and in that time she got fairly bad acne.. So she went back on birth control in 2001 this time on Diane-35 for the first time.. Within about 4 months the acne totally cleared up and her skin was pretty much...
