Used tret since September 2023, I loved the results considering I had so much inflamed acne and had so much scarring. I still scar but it does fade much more quicker and there are clear results. However i'm at a point where my acne is just saying the same and it just seems like tret isn't going anything. My tret is a very low dosage - 0.025. I wanna move to 0.05.
Do you think I will be allowed? I took so long for me to go onto tret and I do not want to be put on another treatment and risk wasting more time - i've tried 2 other treatments in the past so I genuinely don't know what I could use instead.
My acne are just inflamed red lumps, they sometimes come to the surface but majority of the time - they just disappear. I don't pop or pick my spots but I still scar, I got told that the reason is probably because the acne just damages my skin bc of how inflamed they get. I think the acne I have is called papules and sometimes pustules. I wouldn't say its to do with diet as I know I have eaten badly bc I get spots on my forehead but the acne I constantly have is always on my cheeks. I could be slightly hormonal but then again, it's clear when its hormonal bc I would be on my period and get spots around my chin. Any tips would be appreciated, I've had acne for 4 years.
