Hi, I finished my roaccutane quite a while ago, at least 6 months ago. One of the side effects that I read was it narrows your airways. While I was on the medicine, I definately felt that I was becoming short of breath very easily - even by going up the stairs in my school and playing football...

thanks for the reply, can anyone else help? also, another question. what sorts of medication are there for acne that your dermatologist can perscribe? in terms of, accutane, tazorac, minoxycycline(?), doxycycline, etc. i will go to the doctors soon, so if i knew a list of the medications...

Hi, Just came off roaccutane about a month ago. Thought it would clear everything up, so did my dermatologist (she said the extra oil/sebum or whatever should have stopped now, and my skin will take about 6 months to clear up/lose its redness). Anyway, I've started getting blackheaRAB back on...

hi, just wondering. i have marks/scars left over from 'spots' that didn't really ever become big. kind of small. but still visable. on both of my cheeks. would a facial peel take these away? i know that i will need 3-4 of the facial peels to notice a difference(?) plus, my chin is a bit red...

Hi, When I was on accutane, my blackheaRAB went (accutane stopping the extra oils that your skin creates that acne suffers have - spots and blackheaRAB). Now i'm off accutane, the blackheaRAB came back about 2 days after I stopped taking the medication (course was over, this was about 8 months...

i use garnier pure A... it has zinc and salicylic acid. very nice.

hi, a while ago i used asprin masks. i stopped though, not because i didn't notice any difference, but just because i didn't bother to do them again. just wondering if anyone still uses them?

If it's anything like the derm closest to me, then it will be over 1.5 weeks you'll be waiting... I had to wait quite a long time for my roaccutane appointment. Anyway, try to see if your doctor does it?

Thanks for the reply. I just tried the asprin mask. It was very 'bitty', is this what it should be like? It was almost like rubbing a heavy facewash full of granuals on my face. I washed it off, and my face is left probably more red than what it normally is after I wash. Is there anything I...

hi, i know many people are saying their diet contributes largely to their acne. i'm wondering, for a person with teenage acne (that will clear up within a period of time), does food contribute to their acne also? my doctor said that there is no link between diet and teenage acne, but just...

Sorry, no need now.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows any good products to take away 'red patches'? About a month ago, they went away and my skin was looking great, the best i've seen it in years, and I thought my acne problems were going away finally. But, red patches have came back, and I would like to get rid...

if i hadn't been off last week for 2 days, i would surely take tomorrow off. this is the worst my skin has ever been. amazing how it only took about 1 week to get this bad..

yes, and this is coming from someone who'se face now is much better after about 2 months of doing so.

don't wait up on an answer, go to the doctor as soon as possible. it might not be anything serious, but it would be best to get it checked out.

Hi, Basically i've had this cyst in my cheek for a good 18 months. It's not big anymore, however it did produce an ugly red mark that has been there for ages.. it definately hasn't got any better (that i've noticed - i can't imagine it has though, it looks quite bad). Just wondering what I...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could share their experience with cetaphil and murad products. how successful have they been for you? i'm wanting to buy by tomorrow so i would like to know. it seems that murad products are quite (if not, very?) expensive, so i would like to know if they worked...

thanks for the reply. so, basically, if i was to get a facial peel on a friday, it would look like i had something done to my face the following monday when i went into school? best then to leave it to sometime over the school holidays?

so i have now grown quite a few spots on the "good" side of my face and i'm REALLY frustrated, so i have a few questions which i would appreciate if you could answer: 1 - how long do i leave an asprin mask on for? and using lemon juice is a good idea? 2 - now that cooler weather is coming...

does it work well for fading scars? also, how long until you notice a difference?
