What would you suggest if that's the case? Anything natural?

I'm aware of the effectiveness of accutane, but not of it's specific mechanism of action.

I don't know what you mean by "natural".

Natural meaning some kind of plant ect...Oh and does DHT have anything to do with this.

DHT has been linked to acne, so it could very well be part of the equation.

I always leave comments in the acne posts because i have delt with it all through my teenage and adult life.
Everytime i give my props to Pro Active, great stuff and was only thing that worked for me without having to subject myself to Acetane.

Pimples are caused by dead skin cells blocking the sebactose pores, the excessive amount of sebarm under the plug in the blocked pore allows bacteria to multiply and infect the pore.

one major key point to gettin rid of pimples is to exfoliatewith a rasp of some sort more than once a day to get rid of dead skin before it blocks your pores.

Just trying to get some good info for my upcoming summer go around. Prop/NPP/T-bol trying to stay acne free and keep my hair. I'm thinking about trying out procerin. Ever heard of it and if it's good at blocking DHT will that inhibit my gains at all? Sorry for so many questions as I'm kind of a newb and all.

my wife used it with so/so results she has/had adult acne being 38 only thing that stopped it was when she stopped smoking imagine that .

proactive didn't work for me but it does for diddy.

Nothing touches accutane, but that was a rough ride...

SO I CAN ASK MY DERM.THAT I WANT TO TRY accutane OR?

For some people, acutane may be the only thing that will work, but before you go down that road, at least give proactive a try! As for over the counter face wash, it's the best IMO.

i was given a script for accutane. I went in the drs office and told her straight up. I've used EVERYTHING! doxycycline,retin-A,acid face wash. She asked "have you tried accutane" from there the rest is history. i would only use it as a LAST RESORT! Try washing your face 2-3 times a day. use q-tip swab with alcohol. That worked 2nd best to accutane. if you run accutane start at 20-30mg, thats the dose she started me out at. expect results 4-5 weeks. expect dry lips,dry eyes,dry nose(nose bleeds).
