I have acne pretty bad. I get it on my face, under by chin, my neck, my back, my chest, my shoulders and my arms (rare). I have been on antibiotics, like 4-5 different gels and creams, I was even on a full run of accutane but I still have pretty bad acne. What pisses me off is how it isn't really prominent on my face but my neck and back and chest are bad and that is embarassing. My dermatologist has suggested that I might try a 2nd run of accutane in a month or two, since some people need a 2nd run. If I do it and it doesn't work, I'm going to be so pissed. I had to deal with flaking skin and nose bleeds forever (the nose skin dries and cracks sometimes) and I don't want to be on it again. When I was in my 3rd month of accutane, I don't think I had more than 2 zits. I was hoping for that to be permanent but when I got off it, the zits progressively piled up and now I am almost as bad as before (although not as bad). Accutane isn't good for your liver and you need regular blood tests so I'm not happy about needing a 2nd run, but I'd do it to get rid of this acne.
