    Hormonal acne?

    That is a confusing topic for me. Isn't all acne pretty much hormonal? I mean, I am a 20 year old woman who only got acne when she started her period, and have normal skin...I don't know if it is hormonal or not...but when I think about it, I think acne in general can be kind of contributed to...

    I am confused about my skin.

    I have had mild acne all my life. It never actually got to the point of being anything worse, and even though I may have been breaking out a lot, they were always small blemishes in clusters -- more so near my cheek bones as an adult. I have been controlling my skin with Prascion, Clindamycin...

    Getting hormones checked -- opinions?

    I have read about getting your hormones checked -- but what exactly is the point when it comes to acne? If you have more or less of a certain hormone, or any kind of irabalance, your derm or doc can prescribe you something that can help? Well, I want to know what you guys think and what you...

    Scared...accutane questions.

    Thanks. I mean, I just don't want to die, haha. I mean, reading about a stroke doesn't sound appealing. I am 20 years old and seriously would not appreciate that! Hearing loss gets to me as well, ya know, as well as everything else. The dry skin I will deal with...but everything else. Man, I am...

I kind...

    24 with acne still, does proactiv work?

    I used Proactiv and found it to be effective for a while, but very irritating. You don't need that much BP. A BP wash and a BP topical can be so horrible for your skin. It's stick with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil, OTC BP like Neutrogena On The Spot, and a moisturizer. If all else fails, get...

    Spiro or Accutane? Hormonal or bacterial? Help??

    I have had acne since I was a teenager, getting worse around the time I was 16. I am now 20 years old and I don't know what is up. I have no idea if my acne is caused by hormones or bacteria. I just started a new BCP, Yasmin, but I am breaking out. It sucks. I am set to go back to the derm who...

    Scared...accutane questions.

    I have mild acne. My doctor put me on Accutane since that is pretty much the last option. I do have depression, but I take antidepressants and I am fine. I was reading through the iPledge book and read some of the SERIOUS side effects (stroke, hearing loss, etc, etc) I was wondering what the...
