[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im the OP. Thanks for the advice. She tried epiduo for 3 mos, and it helped a little. She just switched to retain a. I will suggest cutting out milk. Not sure she will agree. If there is no improvement, I think antibiotics are in her future.[/quote] Since it is a DD, try to get a hormonal panel done before trying other medications. Retin A, Accutane, and antibiotics will not help if she has a hormonal probelm, although she could see a temporary improvement with Accutane. My DD tried Accutance three times, each of which produced improvment that went away after six months. I do so wish someone had suggested a hormonal panel. It turns out she has PCOS with high testosterone and that Spironalactone is highly effective for taking care of the acne. This drug has way fewer side effects than Accutane and does not promote antibiotic resistance. [/quote]
