How to go forward with treatments post-accutane
Hi all,
I started having some acne issues ~2 years ago. About 1 year ago I started treatment. It was first doxycycline but after a month of treatment my condition kept worsening. I was prescribed 6 months of accutane, and earlier this year I completed my dosage. My face definitely improved A LOT, I rarely get acne there anymore. However the rest of my body, especially my back, shoulder, sides, and bottom still get frequent acne. My acne has left quite a bit of scarring and I'm currently getting steroid shots every 3 weeks for the keloids. However there are some flat scars with discoloration that I also want to get rid of. I'm also showering more often and using the CLn SportWash. I was prescribed doxycycline last week and haven't seen my condition improving (although I assume it will take some time). But yeah I guess my main question is has anyone been in a similar situation after completing their accutane treatment? If so, what steps did you take to get rid of scarring/acne?
