[quote=Anonymous]Nothing has ever worked for me. Not spiro, not cutting dairy or gluten, none of the topicals, not hormonal birth control, not going with a basic routine, etc. Nothing in the past 4 pages has worked 100%. My mother is rounding the corner on 70 and still gets some cysts and my father gets facials at 72 for clogged pores. I think I am f*cked. What has worked to about 75% is tretinoin every other night, alternating with AHA/BHA wipes and quarterly peels at the dermatologist with weekly home peels. There are some studies that this is a form of "super acne" where it is highly resistant to treatment and should qualify you for Accutane. However, previous guidance for Accutane was to prescribe only if you have a certain number and severity of scar forming acne. Think total (unkind) "pizza face." But this other form doesn't hit that level, but it is still pretty crap to ALWAYS have those 3-10 zits! Wish I had done the Accutane when things like pregnancy and drinking (not at the same time!) weren't a factor in my teens. [/quote]
