why do my acne medications work for a limited time?

qdurango asked:


Two years ago my acne almost went completely away with a benzol peroxide medication. After about ten months my acne started coming back worst than ever. I got the big acne. After this I got a sulfur medication which cleared my face. Know my acne is returning after just eight months. Help!!! I ran out of medications. Antibiotics and silitric acid did not work for me. The other two that did do not anymore.

thing is, my skins not that oily and it’s a bit sensitive so acne cleansers make it worse.

My dermatologist & obgyn have different views on acne medications?

Thursday, November 15th, 2007
charlie asked:


My obgyn said to go to my dermatologist when I called and said I was having pregnancy acne on my face, neck, shoulders & back.

My dermatologist prescribed the following: (yes I told her I was pregnant)

Brevoxyl creamy wash - does have benzoyl peroxide in it but my derm. said that it was a wash - put it on in the shower and rinse it off. b/c it was a wash that is rinsed off it wouldn’t be absorbed into the skin.

Evoclin foam (category b)

Finacea (category b)

My obgyn is basically saying that it’s my choice to take these but she’s not giving her blessing - or really telling me what else I could take instead.

Anyone take any of these during pregnancy?
Suggestions?
I’ve used Olay products - face wash & astringent. Not helping.

Emily T asked:


i have really bad cystic acne on my face and back.
some of my friends recently told me about accutane and tetracycline.

i’ve done research on both. but i am wondering if they actually work? Also, are there any other acne medications that you use that work really well?

listen, i’m desperate and so embarrassed by my acne, i will try ANYTHING.

(right now i use the Murad line to wash my face)
