Hi there. I just got back from a visit to my GP, who has diagnosed me with Acne Vulgaris. He%26#039;s sending me to see a specialist and says i%26#039;ll probably be put on Roaccutane. I have friends who have had this treatment and their skin has been left scarred as a result. There are also hundreds of very nasty side effects. Can ANYONE please let me know if there is anything more effective out there. I am so depressed. Please help if you can.
Many thanks,
Charlotte.|||my doctor prescribed me with eurethromycin (sorry about spelling) tablets and Dalacin T topical lotion for my acne and they worked so i stopped using them 2 years ago. i now only get the odd spot like most people now (not a face full of sore annoying boils and spots)so ask your doctor about them- hope i helped|||First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone!
I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist.
are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into.
Try dabbing toothpaste or honey on your zits before you go to bed - works wonders.
Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin.
Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn%26#039;t clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.|||Years ago I was also diagnosed with Acne Vulgaris, which is a mild form of acne and you really don%26#039;t need to see a specialist for that just a dermatologist. Get recommendations from friends or family members who have been to see a dermatologist. A clear topical solution-can%26#039;t remember the name of it- was prescribed by my dermatologist it worked wonderfully, the acne returned but not as bad as it was before my face is free from acne. I now use Clearasil 3 times a day and moisturize with Mary Kay Timewise age fighting. As to what will be prescribed for you that is left to the dermatologist.|||The natural acne cure discussed below may be worth a shot, before trying something more drastic.|||You need to get the mucky water out of your system, what worked for me was as much good hard shagging as often as 5 times a day more if youcan manage it, works wonders believe me.|||i know this sounds gross but my mum used to use our wet nappys on our faces when we were young now me an my sister never get spots so my sister had her son pee on a towel an wipe his face with it in 3 weeks his acne had gone so all i can say is try it no one is going to know but you|||There are a variety of ways to treat acne and many acne sufferers have found that the natural types of acne treatments can be effective at helping to stop your acne and no negative side effects.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .|||I got my first zit when I was eleven and then went on to have acne for years. To this day I still get the odd spots and blemish. Over the years, I tried many things. Depending on your age, you will probably find that this is hormonal. However, I have found the Clinique anti blemish range to be great. It is a bit pricey, but it really helps to keep spots at bay. When I was younger, I used Oxipads. These can dry the skin, but did help to keep the spots away. You could maybe try these for a month and see how you get on. You need to be careful with some of the other products in the market as they can contain agents which dry out the skin too much, cause the production of more oil and then more spots. You need to be careful about some of the topical solutions that you get from the GP as well as these can cause redness of the skin (since they are quite harsh and dry the skin). Clinique do an anti-blemish gel and it really drys the spots up. Remember though, if you are using a gel to dry the spots, you will need a good moisturiser. Have a look at their website. After years of trying and testing almost every spot cream on the market, I have found this to be one of the best. You can even go into one of the department stores and speak to one of the assistants. I cleanse my face at night, moisturise and then get the zit cream on. It%26#039;s great and zits are gone almost overnight.|||Charlotte, the adverse reactions are incredible. One of the posters on the board today was complaining about a lot of hair loss caused by the drug.
Here%26#039;s an article on Associated Content that shows how bad Accutane it, even according to Roche%26#039;s own studies.

There%26#039;s one alternative that you probably haven%26#039;t tried. All you need is cold processed honey, baking soda, oats and coconut oil. Studies from the National Library of Medicine web site are used to back this up and links are provided to those studies in the article. It really does work and the studies prove it.
