Healthy lifestyle and good skincare can't cure acne. They  only don't make it worse or at most improve a little.

Throughout years of suffering acne( since puberty until now 25 years old), I have learned that medication is the most effective way to control acne.

People with acne have sebaceous overactivity and skin hyperkeratination, most probably due to genetic factor or hormonal imbalance. Most acne ceases on it's own when a certain age is hit, usually at 18-20, except for adult acne. Medication will tacke one or both of the root problems above.

So I will advise if you are suffering from acne go to a good dermatologist, instead of spending a lot in trying different skincare products or facial treatments.

Be careful with isoretinoids though. It should only be perscribed to severe acne. It comes with many side effects, depression is one of the worst, and pregnancy is strictly prohibited during and at least six months after the course.  Have your liver and lipid levels checked during the course. I have seen quite some doctors prescribe it without educating the patients properly,  even to the extend  saying that it's an antibiotic. That's quite unethical from my pov.

Always read  the leaflet coming with the medication you are given.

So far I have only seen Dr Ranjit. He is good in my book. He explained my acne condition, named the medication he was going to prescribe and told me the side effects. He even gave me a few options and asked my preference.

Actually  the medications prescribed by dermatologists do not vary much. So for me it's just down to whether they will be concerned and attentive with your problems, or they solely wanna milk money.

or you can try dr.Koh uptown

what kind of antibiotic did she precribe you?

Dr. Koh, not Ko
well at least he managed to solve my friend's sudden breakouts..
so far only external stuff prescibed. maybe if really serious only give meds

so its true some birth control pills could help huh? i heard before but never really seen actual cases

yala thats the problem with the medication..its just a treatment instead of curing
unless you can find the root cause..i think the problem wont go away

time for roccutane?
