[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dermatologist. There are options to try before Accutane (which BTW, for some teens can be miraculous).[/quote] +1, I can't do Accutane but a dermatologist can still help you. I ultimately did well with benzoyl peroxide and a cleansing routine that took my highly sensitive skin into account. If you have highly reactive skin, using trial and error for acne can make it worse because even when products workon the acne, they will cause redness and other irritation. A derm can balance this out with products that will soothe irritation, plus figure out the strength and amounts of medication that work most effectively. My derm also did spot treatments to address some cystic acne that helped get me through the worst of it while we figured out a solution. Going to a dermatologist does not have to mean going on Accutane.[/quote]
