    About Me

    I'm *here* for some health issues support. I'm "very Catholic." I fell in love with God during college and that has since influenced every day of my life. I have a bizarre sense of humor courtesy of my family :P

      From redwriter53 September 8, 2007

      Acne sucks!! Especially the cystic acne. I have been to the dermatologist too, and from what he said, "There is no cure; we can only try and control the breakouts." How dreadful! I am afraid to try accutane, but I may have no choice. My dermatologist will not even give it to me, but I know one that will. I wish you luck with your surgery, and I will certainly pray for you LLBean. redwriter53

      Treatments

      Accutane Working / Worked
      2 treatments a few years apart. Both successful. Main side effects for me were the dry skin and lips.
      Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
      Tried Brevoxyl years ago, was not impressed enough to remember the results.
      Proactiv Considering
      Tried this years ago, but topicals rarely have been a match for my genetics. Reconsidering trying it again after recent success with topical Clinique Acne Solutions.
      Retin-A Not Working
      Tried it years ago, remember stopping it soon after starting but can't remember why.
