I have been struggling for years with tough acne that are sometimes the big red inflamed ones, which hurt, and the other small red ones on my forehead, chin, cheeks and nose. I have gone to the Dermotologist many times and have been on many pills, and topical medicines that have not been helpful to me. I cannot be on antibiotics because I have asthma, and it will trigger it. Help, I am fed up with my acne!

I started Tetracycline (for my acne) about a week ago and I have been researching it online. I found that it can permanently stain your teeth, and I want to know if anyone who has taken Tetracycline has experienced that side effect (if so how severe?) And if you know, what are the percentages of people that get that side effect. thanks!

I have just started taking Amnesteem (which is the exact same thing as Accutane, just a different brand) and my face is already starting to dry out. I can’t remember what my dermatoligist said about mosturizers so I am asking you guys. So, can i moisturize my face while taking accutane so it doesn’t look so dry?

How do you get rid of the nasty scab that used to be a zit before you put toothpaste on it.?
You told me to get rid of a zit fast, then put toothpaste on it. THe toothpaste dried it up so bad that now i have a nasty scab, how do i get rid of the scab fast?

I am 16 at the moment, and I have mild Acne. I have just started to notice that I am growing facial hair, I already have pubic and armpit hair. My question is, will acne stop as soon as I grow facial hair?, because I am going to be shaving, and if I’m shaving over spots it’s going to be a killer. I have had this acne for over a 1 year and a half now.

Any help?

What do you think is the best on the spot benzoyl peroxide cream/gel on the market, also I am looking for lower concentrations as too high will irritate my skin big time.

I have both, I just don’t know which would work better. Thanks!
THANK YOU! That’s what I needed to know!

I have had terrible acne and I hadn’t realized it then but all of my pimple and zit picking has resulted in many scars, so I was wondering what product is most effective in a short amount of time. Thanks soooo much in advance. Please help!

I started accutane, and I’ve been getting bad headaches, dizzy spells, and my head (like forhead area) has been feeling pressured or ‘compressed’. It’s really weird. The pharmasicst said that the dizzyness and the fact that my head feels compressed are not side effects of accutane, an acne medication. Does anyone have any ideas why I may be getting these symptoms and what they may mean?

I recently got acne and I hate it. Tiny bumps all over my forehead and a few bigger ones on my cheeks. I also have tiny tiny bumps on my cheeks, will these turn into big zits? I ve been using the sea weed cleanser from the bodyshop and i think its useless. So please if you have any ideas tell me!
