What works for someone (me) who have little bumps
around (well i get these big bumps, u cant bust them,
are those cyst?) another thing, is there something i
could use that WONT make me break out for like 3 months
to work? I use to use Rectin A Micro and did that
work GREAT but that was months ago, so please tell me
what works! thank you 
Then why do any docs prescribe retin-a? Why don’t they just all prescribe
retin-a micro?
the difference between retin-a and retin-a micro is that micro is less
irratating, but is suppose to be as effective. <br><br>bryan
That is generally what happens to me too…. when
my doctor says "Come back and see me in x weeks" I
make an appointment before I leave the office and then
I am never at my bad time when x weeks comes
around. Keep your appointment!! The doctor will most
likely give you the topical meds you want, even though
you don’t think your face looks that bad. Every time
I say to Dr. D, "This is a good day, I really do
have worse breakouts" he tells me that even my good
days aren’t as good as they really could be. So go to
the derm! Also Retin A Micro- I liked it, but I was
only on it for about 6 weeks and then I went on
Accutane. What is the difference between that and Retin A?
I forgot. <br><br> Take Care,<br> Karyn
i decided not to use benziol peroxide for two
weeks, because i use it all the time. i wanted to give
my skin a break from it. if you read my posts
<br>last week, i had a huge cystic zit. i decided to used
benziol peroxide on it, after not using bp for two
weeks…the results were nice!after two days it was flat and
the redness faded away. ususually it takes a lot
longer than that for my acne to clear without popping
it.<br>bryan
i had a bad reaction to Retin-A. my face turn
red, dry, and itchy. this stuff is just too strong for
my skin. i want to try Retin-A micro…i heard it’s
great. see the thing with me and seeing a derm for a
perscription is this, i wait until i break out, THEN i call
the doctor, get the appointment, and by the time my
appointment comes around, my skin is clear….so i cancel my
appoinments. i’ve done this like 4 times already. <br>(most my
appointments are at least a week or two away). so i fight the
acne battle with benziol peroxide, which has worked
for me. <br>bryan
Hey guys nice club. Well for the last few years
I’ve had back acne- and I tried all the otc stuff and
even erythromicine. Nothing worked. Then a month ago
on a whim I bought natures cure homeopathic
treatment at a local drug store for about 10 bucks. They
give you pills and a spray. Deep down I’ve always
thought homeopathy is a bunch of bs and would never work.
Damn, I’ve been surprised! Its only been a month and
most of my acne is gone, and I had it pretty bad. Its
crazy that NOTHING worked and now this homeopathic
medication is working wonders. I reccomend this to everyone.
My skin feels so much smoother and acne free. I’m
excited cuz it has worked so well in just under a month-
I cant wait for the coming months to go by and see
how far it takes me.—-Jett
Nina,<br><br>In Michigan where I live, one of our
state representatives (Bart Stupak) son’s committed
suicide while on Accutane. He claims his son was not
informed of Accutane-induced depression. Two things– 1)
Did your doctor say anything about Accutane-induced
depression? I know mine did. He asked me every two weeks if I
was feeling any differently, and that if I felt
depressed, to STOP TAKING THE MEDICATION IMMEDIATELY AND
CALL HIM. He stressed that. <br> 2) I think Roche is
informing about Accutane-induced depression on the
packages, Stupak claims they were not. On one of my
packages that I did not use, I re-read it, and on the list
of Symptoms to Call the Doctor About was "If you
feel any change in mood, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE
ACCUTANE AND………" <br><br> Personally, I feel that

Yes Bryan, I did take Accutane, and it did help a
little, but not totally. I had to laugh when Dr. D looked
at my chart today and said "what haven’t we used?" I
was wondering though if anyone has used Benzamycin.
My doctor gave me a sample, he also told me that if
I got a full-size if he wrote the script, I would
have to keep it in the fridge. But has anyone used
this before? Before I go back on pills, my doctor
wants to strengthen the topical medications. He gave me
Cleocin pledgettes for morning and night, and Differin
cream (yes cream– he says it is new and less drying
than the gel). He also gave me the Benzamycin. I am
not supposed to use it on my face yet. I had a
reaction to Triaz cream; it made my face red and itchy.
Dr. D wants to know if this was because of the amount

Since accutane came up..I dont know if Ive
already posted about this but Ive been on accutane for
almost 2 months and I think its great. I only have a few
zits left, except there are scars so I still use
makeup =*( I have to wait 4-6 months for all the scars
to go away!!<br><br>Nina
