if your derm has given you “all she’s got” find another derm imo

My brother had really bad cystic acne in high school only thing that helped was 2 rounds of accutane at the highest dosage the derm would prescribe. Awful side effects but worth it in the end

lol all good! I’ve tried accutane, tretinoin, minocycline, doxycycline, spironolactone, birth control. I’m probably missing one!

Oooo that’s a good question and also if you’re a woman have you gotten your hormones checked and are you on birth control

I forgot to mention if ur struggling to find a good dermatologist look for an esthetician, some insurances cover them. They will help you with getting a good routine and working on ur current situation-just make sure they have experience working with severe acne

I’ve cut sugars a lot over the past year, eating/drinking healthy + working out. CeraVe Normal to Oily Skin face wash & trentinoin 0.05% cream.
