Anybody else been on a million prescriptions for acne? What finally worked?

I have been going to the dermatologist for 2 years, and have had my prescription changed every 2 months, and nothing has worked. If you currently have or have had acne, what has worked best for you?Anybody else been on a million prescriptions for acne? What finally worked?
When I was younger, it was Accutane. I heard that Differin works now days...Anybody else been on a million prescriptions for acne? What finally worked?
Try limiting your dairy consumption.





A 2005 Harvard study found a connection:





';Acne Associated with Dairy Intake鈥?br>




A new Harvard study links dairy products to adolescent acne. A group of 47,000 women from the Nurses鈥?Health Study was asked to provide information about several aspects of their diet during high school as well as any incidence of physician-diagnosed severe teenage acne.





Researchers noted a positive association with total milk and skim milk consumption, along with instant breakfast drinks, sherbet, cottage cheese, and cream cheese.





No association was found with several other foods often thought to affect acne, including soda, french fries, chocolate candy, and pizza. The scientists postulate that hormones and bioactive ingredients found in milk may be responsible.';
eat fruits and vegetables. avoid oily snacks and use an oil free face wash frequently.
You don't said your age or you life style but usually young people have oily skins. When you are under stress your body liberates cortisone which increase your acne. Try to have your skin clean using appropriate products for acne and protect your skin from sun and lights (including artificial light) with a non- comedogenic sun block. I know of an specific product that can help you 1-787-398-3414
Yes, but my home remedy is super easy, and cheap, I assume you have oily skin so at night take one egg white throw away the yolk and rub it on like a facial, leave on for 20 minutes then rinse it off, sweet dreams and take cooler showers, hot showers make your oil glands work harder because the hot water dries your skin out so try it and I hope it works for you!
Ive been there! Im 27 and have had acne since I was a teenager. I have tried everything from Retin-A to Accutane to Benzoclin to ProActiv. The simplest thing that my great grandmother told me to do is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I've been acne free for the 3 months I've been doing it. I dont even wear make-up out all the time which I havent done since I was little! I wash my face, morning and night, with tea tree oil facial soap and follow up with Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner. (you can get both in any health food store) It's best to use the toner only at night for the first few times to see how your skin will react. It will sting a bit (but not uncomfortable) and your face will be a bit red but it normally subsides in a bit. If your skin adapts pretty quickly and the redness goes away quickly, use it in the morning after washing, as well. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin, it's ridiculous. The overall texture improved, pores arent so visible, not so oily....just amazing. And I never had 'good skin.' I wish I had tried this years ago because it would have saved me thousands of dollars. Sometimes the doctors and prescriptions arent always the best cure. Hope you try it and it works for you!

  • topical cream
  • Can I go to the Emergency Room to get a prescription for acne products?

    I know that acne is not life threatening, but I truly need some prescriptions for my skin. I dont have health insurance any longer and dermotologist I used to see costs $200...money I dont really have. I know that if I got to the ER they will send me a bill for services. This way I can at least get the Rx and be on my way to helping my skin.





    So, do you think the ER will see me?





    Also, the Rx I used that worked were Erythromycin-Benzoyl Perioxide Topical Gel and amoxicillian pills (they truly worked wonders!!). Also, I have used Proactiv and all the other commercial acne products. I dont have good skin so normal wash-face-with-soap-and-water dont work. I have super oily skin with large acne deep in my skin. I get white-heads (so there is a bacterial infection somewhere) and they even are painful.





    So...should I got to the ER for the prescriptions????Can I go to the Emergency Room to get a prescription for acne products?
    just get a new dermotologestCan I go to the Emergency Room to get a prescription for acne products?
    I'm an ER doc. It works like this. The ER MUST screen you for a life threatening condition. We must make sure you ';rash'; is not a dangerous rash like stevens johnsons or meningococcemia. Now...as for the prescription...





    It all depends on how I feel that day. It depends on how much I like you. It depends on if you did not just piss me off because you abused the ER system. I do NOT have to write you for a prescription of what you asked for. You will still get billed for the ER visit, because I will have done my job, which is making sure you do not have an emergent condition.





    Personally, I definately would not write you for amoxicillin pills. Maybe the topical stuff (and remember, only if i feel like it).
    No don't go to ER. Try a general practitioner. They'll just send you away at the ER
    no use ER doesnt have meds for acne.


    Dont waste the valuable time and resources designed for the emergency cause
    It is doubtful that any emergency room will even see you or treat you for acne. The triage nurse, the one that assesses your condition on arrival, will most likely turn you away and refer you to your own physician. You state that the ER will send you a bill for services. An emergency room visit is much more expensive than an ordinary doctor's office visit. I'm not understanding your logic there.





    You might try calling your doctor's office, and asking if they'll call in the prescriptions to a pharmacy for you. Also, let the doctor's office know about your ability to pay. You may be able to work out some financial arrangements with the dr's office.
    yeah dont use the ER they are there for trauma and life threatining situations. Not only would you waste your time to be seen because its not life threatining when you called up for your turn to be seen they would ask you to leave or make an appointment with the dermotologist there or another private practice. Hell they may even charge you money for wasting their time. It's no joke with the ER trauma folks.


    your best bet is to check out Medicaid. They do have free health insurance if you qualify.

    Call the pharmacy and ask them.I have a prescription for monodox for my acne and i want to know how much does it cost if i have no insurance?
    My suggestion is trying to absorb as much information as you can before making up your mind,here http://www.HealthInsuranceIdeas.info/free-online-health-insurance.htm is a good one.
    It would depend on the dose. Per month, it would cost about $40.





    If that is a little high for you, you can talk to your physician about tetracycline. It is in the same class and is used for acne, but it is cheaper. The cost of 60 capsules is about $15.
