Why I’m I still breaking out ?

[Oberyn]

I’ve used accutane when I was 18 I’ve been using tretinoin(0.05) for 4-5 years. Still I have always 1-2 active acne-pimple. Should I hop on accutane again ?

 

[ItsOverCel]

yes, you should
U can try low doses like 10-20 mg for a few months

What’s your diet and sleep like?

Sleep is ok. Diet idk I just count protein and calories but I feel like when I don’t consume omega 6 and gluten I don’t get acne . But it’s shitty life tbh imagine not eating pasta

Agree I believe in only surgeries/ medicines.

At this point you should visit an endocrinologist.

It happens bro

I used accutane 20mg from my 18 to 19

I managed to control it with benzoil peroxide til 22 Then i used low 10mg doses from 22 to 23

Then i managed to tank it til 25, then at 25 i started to having acne again and hoped for more 2 years from 25 to 27 starting with 10mg every day and eventually lowering the dose to 30mg week

if it's any consolation, i have basically a perfect skin because i managed to halt every outbreak very early in each cycle and my collagen is better than average 18 years old at 28 almost 29. I certainly attribute part of mantaining my collagen to accutane although wasnt my primary intention

After all that i still had some ocassional small breakouts on my back that dont bother me, but after metformin they cleared. I dont know if there is any correlation tbh
