Problem Skin

[TiffyEddy]

Has anyone on the Tuner, ever prescribed Roaccutane? I'm having horrible acne. Doing research over the net & de only thing I think will help me is Roaccutane. But the side effects are monstrous.
Would like to know if any one was on this, and did you experience any side effects?

Thanks

roaccutane is the only prescribed medication (in dermatology, acne vulgaris specifically) with serious side effects and is not prescribed until other treatments have failed. Even when ordering it from the distributor, the pharmacist is required to provide a copy of the prescription from a specialist. The major concern with this treatment is it's possible harmful effects on the fetus (teratogenicity).

My dermatologist prescribed that for me, some weird ass side-effects though


Never got the results I wanted since I stopped treatment early, changing eating habits in the end helped me get through it all.

I tried everything for my acne because it was really bad,even tried proactiv wen it now came out but it worked to a certain extent.Then i went to a dermatologist who suggested deriva.It worked wonders on my face.Everyone constantly ask me wat i using to get rid of my acne and i strongly recommend this product.I don't know how effective it might be on your skin but it's worth a try.I using this 3 years+ now and still get the same results everyday

This.

Roaccutane isn't an over the counter drug, you'll need a prescription from a Dermatologist anyway.

You guys ever tried keeping your faces clean?

I took my niece who suffers with baddddd acne to a place in the west that does laser treatments for acne - a treatment they do in the USA called ACLEARA. After one treatment the acne gone and the place is run my uk and us certified dermatologist. The treatment guarantees 1 year acne free. I think the consult was free but if you need more info I can ask her. Their website http://www.cali-tt.com/acne.html

@ supercharged as I said, you can't treat the outside only, my diet change helped me and all I have now are the marks/some pits aside from the occasional pimple.

But i'd still check out that man, thanks.

Question:

How do you think the bacteria got in there in the first place?

God just said 'let there be bacteria on people face in the hair roots' *snapped his fingers* and they magically appeared?

prevention better than cur....awww hell, nevermind you have plenty $$$ to send niece away and ting. I will keep using my blue soap on my smooth skin.

nothing aloes cant fix

[j.o.e]

I used Roaccutane maybe 4 yrs ago.... it definitely works....but its prescription only and has very,very serious side effects. In retrospect it was over kill for my problem. It is barely used now possibly because of those side effects. It requires u to take a blood test before using it to verify your cholesterol levels since it can elevate it with long term use. Your lips will be terribly dried..like you been makin out with a salty concrete block. But only a dermatologist can advise if this med will help...and that's if its still bein prescribed.

P.S..if u female (sorry i don't know ur gender) u absolutely CANNOT get pregnant while taking this or for some time after, instant abortion/unhealthy baby.

Question:

Why don't you stay in the bush and use your blue soap and stop walking to the village to use the internet caffe to post dotishness.

Acne (acne vulgaris, common acne) is a disease of the hair follicles of the face, chest, and back. It is not caused by bacteria, although bacteria play a role in its development. So bush man what you may not know is a lot of the times the bacteria might be secondary caused by blocked pores as a result of overactive sebaceous glands. My niece tried nearly every over the counter perscription which sometimes had terrible side effects. I was just trying to offer an alternative. Also the treatment was not expensive.

*rubs chin* so what causes it?

why dont I have acne?

[Trini Hookah]

Gooner just btw did that clinic offer treatment such as closing pits?

[Peanut Punch]

i had mild acne & used quinoderm or benzac .. active ingredient was benzoyl peroxide ... had to apply it to my face every night, once a day ... it cleared up over time. ... they r both over the counter creams.

[gooner]

Thats the treatment my niece is now doing as the acne is cleared up but she is left with some deep acne scars. Its a totally separate laser treatment but I really don't know how its going.

[S_2NR]

When I was younger I had a lil. Proactive worked for me.

[Bizzare]

never had acne. when u look like me, things can't get any worse.

To tell u the truth,i never changed my diet but got the desired results.I shud try changing it just to see the effects but as you stated i still get the occasional pimple and dere are some marks but is nothing over de top..just average like everybody else own

[mediahouse]

pro active

nervewrecker nuh easy na

[nervewrecker]

But I serious, everyone coming up in here with the stoosh "I used this", "I did that" but nobody seems to know about prevention and how it costs less than cure.
Nobody denying the fact that overactive sebaceous glands are a cause but bacteria is too, why not just practice proper hygiene?
I used to get plenty buttons when I now started to work, it had plenty dust and I sweat a lot. When I started washing my face regular it stopped. But say what, dont wash face, have too much pride to carry a soap in your bag and then hit the dermatologist and spend plenty $$$ to cure it.

You all remind me of fat people who blaze kfc, hitch ride and take elevator to go one floor up but then go to the gym and vex when skinny people scoff at your ability to damage steam roller suspension.

A little too late since OP already had to make this thread buddy.

[Rooki3]

proactive>>>>>talk done

[dan80]

Pro Activ does work, but it like drugs imo...you have to keep usin it to keep yuh skin in a order

[smr_fingers]

i dont kno if you will be willing to try anything but something i have seen work was lime...yes lime that you get in the market

it might sound silly but i kno two persons who currently use it to wash their face 2 times a day and trust me it makes a huge difference by clearing up the acne and the marks

you could try it you have nuttin to lose
