I've suffered from acne on and off for about 9 years now. I've tried a multitude of different drugs and whilst they've helped in the short term they haven't in the long run.
It's not terrible at the moment but I want to try anything I can to help!

Favourite cheese? :teeth:


I'm assuming you might know this already but do not buy products for healthy skin and stuff that is said to remove scars and spots, it's all false. I tried atleast 6 and not one thing helped me except Accutane and mine wasn't even that bad, it was acne scarring.

I had acne and was on Accutane but I got quite depressed with it (& other things) towards the end and got off my treatment after about 1.5 years but my skin is really clear now :smile:

I don't eat different types of cheeses, I just like cheese with a lot of things.
-Cheese on crackers
-Cheese in burgers
-Cheese in sandwiches
-Cheese in pizza


Yeh, I was put on Roaccutane but it the acne came back after I'd finished the course. Boo.

Although, I'm not sure why my name made you gobsmacked? The usertag is probably more apt.

Same happened to me :sad: I was gutted tbh although it is under control now with a little redness but when I have a tan you can't see it :h:

I do think I need that chemical peel thing though as it isn't going away :sad:

I can't remember remember how long it was for 18 weeks, I think? Yeh, I was told that for 1/10 people the acne will come back. I guess I was the one in ten!

Yeh, mine's not too bad currently. Touch wood it says like it is now!
Hmm.. I've never used Roaccutane before. Isn't that some heavy-duty stuff?

Yes, it really dries your skin out although when you come off it, you start to have sweat problems (at least I did/do) :sad:

Hmph.. won't be going on that tbh.. i'll have to just try limiting the factors that affect my skin.. and it should remain like this.

Yah. Can cause severe depression and liver damage.
I was also told that should a woman who is pregnant take it, there's a 90% chance her baby would be deformed. :lolwut:

It also applies to the male sperm, if you get a woman pregnant while on Roaccuntane there is an incredibly high chance (more than 90%) the baby will be deformed.
