Find a good homeopathic / natural homeopathic doctor and go on a diet instaed!!!!
I have always had really bad acne, and I went through all the usual treatments(Antibiotics, accutane....) never helped....
Now Acne is usually caused by some combination of these 4 ROOT CAUSES: Hormones imbalance, liver problems(actaully it could also be other sysetms that clean you body : lungs,kidny,stomach), unhealthy diet and bad skin.
now THE IRONY in it is:
Accutane and antibiotics could help remove bacteria from the skin but they completly fuck up you liver(among other thing). Now whats the point of cleaning you skin if more pimples are going to keep coming out because of bad liver?????????
Also antibiotics and Accutane make you skip MUCH more sensitive(Accutane casues dry skin for evrreybody!!!!!!!!) , so if you stop taking you medication the acne is going to come back 10 times worse cause you just fucked up you liver AND your skin..
SO you cannot reallt stop taking the Meds, kind of like who came first the chicken or the egg.
After my blood test showed that my liver is fucked I didI did the following things
1) Stoped taking any meds
2) Went to a Asian Doc that gave some pills to balance my hurmons and liver, it helped alittle bit, but I still head acne.
3) Then I went to A natural clinic(I think it was called True Star), the put me on a diet( No artificial staff,No sugar no spices no milk no bread products no tomatos dont remmeber the rest) Basicly the idea is they reintroduce all these food back into your diet to see which one casused the acne. I dont think I was diagnosted as "alergic" to any of those food. But my acne did improve becase of the propper diet.(Now I only try to avoid Artificial staff and pure Milk(for some rason cottage and staff like that is better for you ))
4) Went to a homeopathic Doc she fixed my liver and my acne went completele Away!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the lesson to learn is that it is always easier to go after the symptom (acne) with fast "magic" meds, but the right way to go is to cure the root causes of your ilness
