Question about antibiotics and acne?

I dont think that any of those medications would help with acne, but my little sister who is 17 started using a prescription acne medication called Epiduo a few weeks ago and she says that it is great. Its just a cream that i guess she uses in the mornings and evenings so its really easy to use. Plus im sure that you dont put on several layers of makeup every morning. LOL. You should try it out. I think the tube was about $15 for 500ml.

I was in the same boat as you about 30 days ago, I was about to start Accutane because nothing else had worked. I did some research and found that Accutane is derived from Vitamin A, Accutane has extremely high amounts of Vitamin A which is why it needs to be prescribed. However, you can take pure Vitamin A on your own in healthy doses that will make a difference in your skin. I went to GNC last month and bought 3 bottles of 100 capsules of Vitamin A 10,000 IU ($2.50 per bottle), I take 10 a day (Accutane has 300,000 IU or more per pill) and it has made a huge difference in my skin. I read all about Vitamin A toxicity and found out that a person my age (24) can take up to 100,000 IU per day for six months without causing bodily damage. You might want to try it, but make sure you only do it for six months at a time. Good luck.

Acne can be a huge soreness in the rear - or on your face, chest, neck, back, and physique!
