Skin Help

Thanks again everyone for all of the responses. I think after hearing all of your input that I am going to beg the doctor for accutane. I really dont think that the minocycline is doing much for me and this is my second time taking it. I would rather just do the accutane and get over it allready.

I can post a picture of me without makeup but I wont be able to do it until tonight when I get home. I am sure many of you will think that my skin is not that bad but I think what bothers me is that my skin will be fairly clear and then I will have 2-3 big zits which hang around for weeks at a time. I notice that around my period my chin breaks out like crazy. It really drives me nuts and I figure that I should really do something about this because it is just getting too expensive for all these products that really dont even work.

I have heard that there is a generic form of accutane that can be used. My husband took it about 14 years ago and said that it was really cheap. I am just having a hard time getting a doctor to give it to me. I have been to about 3 different derms and they all say that they can get me clear without it but nothing really works.

Yeah I am thinking that sugar might be contributing to my breakouts. I try not to eat as much of it but I like a cookie every so often. When I was on atkins I was eating no sugar (well nothing with added sugar to it) and mostly protein, vegetables and fruit. I was drinking only soy milk and eating low carb bread if I ever ate it. I was also eating more fat which I think also makes a difference. I drink beer once a week and I always wonder if that does anything to my skin?
