Acne
"I didn&#039;t mind my acne too much, but it got really annoying when my parents were complaining about it over time. I tried to reduce the amount of acne. I&#039;ve tried several over the counter products, some worked, some didn&#039;t. Sadly, I did have an increased breakout after using Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Then I went to my doctor. First, I&#039;ve tried Clindoxyl, then Benzoyl peroxide (0.1%/2.5% w/w). Worked fine, but results did not last too long. Then I was on tetracycline for a few months. It worked, for awhile, then I had an increased breakout.
Finally, I got on Accutane. I was really reluctant to be on Accutane because of its side effects, especially when my doctor highlighted suicidal thoughts, and decreased night vision. But after four months, I&#039;m currently happy with the results!"
