[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I preach all the time on this site about this, and will do so again. Most acne, if not all, is hormonal. I recommend taking her to an ob, who deals with female hormone. Most dermatologist deal with the skins surface and not the true cause of acne, so no matter how much crap you put on your face, it won't help. Accutane is very powerful and wouldn't be my first go to.[/quote]

Am the other preacher on this site about this.  Based on experience with my DD--three Accutane failures--I would definitely do a hormonal check before doing Accutane.  Her problem was definitely hormonal and birth control plus Spironalactone have done what Accutane could not and have cleared up her acne.[/quote]

+1. Two rounds of Accutane temporarily cleared up my acne, but it came back. Birth control and Spironolactone have cleared it up beautifully. Please take your daughter to a dermatologist who is willing to examine potential hormonal causes of acne, rather than just treating the surface with expensive prescription creams.[/quote]
