I have an oily face, large pores around my nose/cheek area, redness, acne scars and current acne. I am on proactiv but it isnt working for me. It only treats acne and hasnt made it go away entirely. I need advice on what I should do!?
 
I used proactive as well did not work for me either. You should really go to the dermatologist and go on acutane, even on the stuff for like 3 months will make everything go away and stay away it works very very good.
 
I have a couple frienRAB on Accutane right now and although I don't see a change yet (they're still on treatment)-they do seem to have severe and persistent acne. Accutane is a very serious sort of treatment though and should be considered carefully.... the long-term effects aren't necessarily realized yet, though it has been linked to serious forms of birth defects, which is why women must have a regular monthly pregnancy tests. Accutane has also been linked to serious emotional and mental issues that I think need to be researched and evaluated more.

A friend of mine in Junior High was put on Accutane to treat her acne and she was severely depressed, of course they're could've been other issues, I honestly believe her treatment effected it. When I was taking a university microbiology class, many people talked about their experiences with Accutane and people they knew who had issues with Accutane (this included some people who they knew who actually committed suicide while on Accutane).

Although these are obviously serious cases, it did suprise me how common these issues were. I believe Accutane should be carefully considered before starting. The obvious Pro to Accutane are the results in a relatively short period of time. My ex-boyfriend told me about being on Accutane when he was a teenager and how it cleared it up (he practically never breaks out now). The treatment is relatively short- I think a maximum of about six months.

I definitley think you should speak to a dermatologist. I personally would never consider Accutane, and have treated my persistent Acne through other means. I have been on oral birth control for a little over two years now and never break out. I have clear and happy skin! Though birth control also has it's own side-effects, it personally helped me with my skin problems as well as some other menstrual issues.

I hope this was helpful!
 
I hope this helps: Facial All you need:
a) Tea Tree Oil (This is GREAT! Also you can apply before going to bed) A few drops
b) Spectro Jel: A Pea size amount
C) Nivea Body Spray (3 sprays only)
D) Any preferred regular sample size facial.
Mix the contents into a small bowl and just apply to face. Wait for 17-21 mins, then rinse off with mild warm water. Your face will be so clean, and the skin will be hydrated with the nivea body spray, this worked for me, and I hope it helps you. I would do this every 2-3rd day.
 
I believe you should see a doctor even your family doctor can help. Ask for a prescription of salicylic acid. This is a great medication that is a creme. You will find this medicine in over the counter acne meRAB, but only in small doses like 0.5% and 2%. Oxy cleansing paRAB have 2% and the Oxy bar soap has only 0.5%. the script of course is much stronger. Good Luck!!! And what ever you do..do not pick or pop your pimples..you will get scarring which is very ugly!!! Keep hanRAB away from your face. Let me know if you try this med.
 
Proactive never worked for my sons. My oldest did great with minocycline, though he was on it too long and experienced blue gums. Thank God it was only the gums. I've heard of people who have blue marks on their face, or their teeth turned gray. So my youngest tried everything, oral and topical from derm. He is 17. Currently on accutane. Week two. Doing well.

While you have to be cautious about ANY drug you take (I say that because every med out there has side effects), just be aware of all the effects so you can monitor yourself.

He was real oily too and that stopped by the end of the first week.
 
Keep an eye on what you are eating, as this effects your skin. I have noticed that when I changed by diet, my skin cleared up. If my face is dry, I eat things like fruit, salad, water. If my face gets oily, I stay away from burgers and fries and it seems to work. I hate changing my diet all the time cuz of what my face it doing lol, but I feel better when my face is clear and I look good. So it is worth the effort.
 
I accept with information:don't see a change yet (they're still on treatment)-they do seem to have severe and persistent acne. Accutane is a very serious sort of treatment though and should be considered carefully.... the long-term effects aren't necessarily realized yet.
