[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Its really hard to believe that after all these years, we still just have the Accutane.[/b] My dc has Crohn's and her gastro doesn't want her on Accutane. Her acne is terrible. I went thru two rounds of Accutane in my teens so its genetic. The lasers don't seem to have a lot of research/evidence (maybe I'm wrong?). I just wish there was SOMETHING![/quote] We know more about acne know than ever before so there are more options. For girls/women whose acne is due to high levels of testosterone there is spirolactane. There is also Winlevi that is a topical agent that helps with reducing oil production that can cause some cystic acne. The lasers are expensive but a good option as they target the oil glands. And finally for Accutane, many derms now believe that a lower dose for longer is a better treatment option as it reduces the side effects. [/quote]
