damn that sucks you gotta wait bro... even thohght of a low dose of accutane to finish the problem for ever? why not 40 mg ED for a few months and not deal with acne again...if the sides got bad on accutane you can always drop that shit (i dont understand ppl who say the sides are so bad buy continue to take the drug ?

as for zinc. 50 mg ED is ideal for skin ... it is cheap as fuck... 7 bux will last you about 5 months... there are alot of studies that show zinc @50 mg ed is as effective as in antibiotic for acne but with zinc your skin is NOT uber senstive to the sun like on anti's but with zinc, remember it is a long term thing, wont work in a few days...

about the nieva oil control.... you need use it at the right time..


1. shave in the AM
2. use the oil control wash only when your skin is soft and well lubed up (i only use it in the shower) so your evening shower after your work out, apply a small bit and gently rub it in (neck too) and let it sit for 30 seconds then wash off... dont use a scrub cloth or anythin tht can iriatate your skin. wash off (easy in the shower)
3. dry off completly (wait 10 min or so)
4. apply lotion rub it in (dont let it sit there on your skin)


how did it F your skin up? break out? shave bumps?

It just irritated it. Dried it out a whole lot/redness.

Thanks for the info bor. I'll go get some zinc today.

I'd have no problem with taking accutane. The antibiotics I had were supposed to give me shitloads of sides, but I didn't experience a thing. So, I dunno, maybe accutane will be the same.

just call the derms office and ask them to fax a perscription to your pharmacy...

Dermatologist prescribed me some a while ago. Been using it for about ... 4-5 weeks now? Probably more towards the latter.

Anyway, after about 3 weeks it looked like it was starting to work pretty well. Skin was clearing up some. But, it's beginning to look worse again?

wtf?

I hate having such shitty skin. I want this bullcrap to clear up for good. Help me out bors.

Darling,

Stop everything! Accutane is the only thing that works. Been there, done that, tried everything (legal) under the sun. Been to paradise and had never been to me until Accutane. I had to go on it for two 6-month cycles. I was moody, unstable (everything pretty much like now), and my skin was peeling off. It was worth it - years later, never had a breakout again. In my opinion, the biggest revolution in cosmetic medicine after boob jobs.

Accutane is the only thing that worked for me as well. I also was on 2 cycles.

Beware, though - side effects can be very nasty. After the 2nd cycle, I developed some long-lasting mood swings and depression; currently being treated with a common Rx anti-depressant(succesfully, I might add), under the supervision of a doctor.

There's no current studies on permanent neurotransmitter dysfunction and Accutane---but I bet my bottom dollar there will be, in the future.

Would I go back and take Accutance again, knowing what I know now?

For baby smooth, porecelain skin? Hell yes.

As per tiger's suggestion, I got some zinc, and that seems to be helping. Looks like the small breakout I had after going off the antibiotics is better. Coolness.

My suggs:
- shave with electric
- dont use any "oil" control tonics, those overdry and make acne worse!
- zinc supps
- avoid eating greasy foods! You ARE what you eat.
- tetracycline- this script helped me a lot.

Meh. Maybe I spoke too soon. Skin is looking kinda shitty today.

Bros is there anything I can do BEFORE I go back to the dermatologist in 3 weeks? Tanning or something maybe?

tanning is only gonna make it worse down the road... go in to the derm and get accutane in 3 weeks... as for now, get a lil sun but not to much and dont pick at any zits.. leave them...

 

[Alright123]

yeah dont tan when u are on those products, use good sunscreen
