Hey guys, I am at school right now and going home this weekend to see a doctor for some acne meds. In case you are wondering why I am not going to a dermatologist its because I dont have time to get a referral and wait 3 weeks to get an appointment with a dermatologist. Anyway, the doctor I go to is willing to refill any skin medication prescription I have and I am wondering if any of you guys have tried anything and have been very pleased with it. I am not really in the mood to take accutane, but for a couple years now my neck has broken out constantly and I am forced to where shirts with collars that I flip up to cover up the acne. Anyone ever have this problem and anyone take any prescription medication I can request when I go to the doctor this weekend? Please let me know asap, thanks guys and girls.

doxycycline works really well but isnt nearly as strong as accutain. it for people who dont have it real bad. it doesnt dry you out like accutain but takes 8wks to be cleared up. its worth it though in my opinion not to be all chapped looking in the face.

My dad is a dermatologist.... He perscribed me accutane when i was in highschool for my pizza face... it does dry the hell out of your skin and makes y our lips crack and bleed out of controll... there really is no way to prevent this...
I recently asked him if he could set me up with another perscription because my back is starting to get bad. He told me this would not be a good option because back acne is much harder to treat than facial acne, and it would take more than double the dosage to effectivly treat the back acne..... Moral of the story... If your gonna do steriods, be ready to cope with the sides.....
not to mention accutane is extreamely expensive
