Hi guys, I know I have 3 other cystic acne videos. The first one I uploaded it on may 26 2009, the second on July 26 2009, the third on June 28 2010. and since it has been a little over a year I decided to upload a fourth video, this one. this is to prove that my cystic acne isnt gone. It comes and goes as it pleases. I went to the dermatologist 2 weeks ago and she said accutane was her only suggestion. I dont want to take accutane, so I went to my family practice dr. He also told me accutane, but he prescribed me other medications just to give it a try before getting accutane.

He prescribed me:
1.-Keflex 500mg (antibiotic for 14 days)
2.-Doxycycline 100mg (to take after the antibiotics)
3.-Clindamycin 1% solution (to apply on acne in mornings)
4.-Tretinoin cream 0.05% (to apply on acne at bedtime)
5.-Sprintec (oral contraceptive)

The dr. said that I should give this regimen of medicine and cleaning system a try for a month. if I felt that it isnt working that accutane would be my next step.

Plus I bought the acne free severe Kit regimen. and the garnier moisture rescue lightweight uv-lotion spf15 to wear under my makeup.

I am a stay at home mom so I only go out on the weekends if I feel good. So I dont wear makeup on a daily basis. only when i go out and I never put makeup on my acne. I am hoping for the best because i dont want to take accutane.

Disclaimer** these pictures belong to me and this is not a video of advice. this is a video of my medication and stuff i use to help my acne go away. consult a dr. for professional advice, ** None of the items mentioned in this video were given to me for free. I am not being paid to mention these products. I paid for all products mention with my own money**

  • Yo creo q debes usar otra crema humectante q sea oil free para piel grasa o mixta porq esa no ayuda a tu condicion a mi en lo personal me empeoro el acne y cdo la deje de usar me mejoro mucho y se la regale a mi hermana y le empezo a salir acne tambn suerte q no la uso por mucho tiempo cm yo ..

  • Baby, f__k the bumps! I think you're beautiful & very brave for posting this.

  • I took Roaccutane treatment and that was hella annoying! My lips dried, nose bleeding, etc. My skin went better but isnt perfect. I sometimes get some new cyst and i try to drain them up cuz they are gone faster but sometimes i break some blood vessels and it goes worse... Anyways im happy with my results and i hope u get ur solution soon. Sorry for my bad english, im not english native speaker... A big hug and dont get depressed!!!

  • Exposedskincare Google that up. I'm on week 2 and I see a difference I'm both my pimples and my blemishes

  • I'm not sure about the electric brush though or any brush at all!!! It spreads all the bacteria and makes the problem worse.... Didn't you have such problem?

  • @mamiposa26 Aww, well thanks for the response. I'm glad it worked for you! :-D

  • So what has happened? I had been on alot of different mess until I started accutane about a month ago. I didn't have very bad cystic acne, BUT I have alot of blackheads, whiteheads & just normal pimples & also a bit of scarring. But I love accutane! Granted, it does have side affects(like the rash on my hands) but I know itll be worth it! I've already cleared up so much! But I wish you the best if luck! And btw- you are gorgeous!!

  • Thank you for sharing your experience with us dear. You should give Retin-A a try. My dermatologist prescribed that along with doxycycline. Good luck and I hope you get the results youre looking for. Xoxo
