I'm male, I would otherwise gladly try a contraceptive. I am not sure what is left in the treatment algorithm pipeline for acne at this point, except the slim chance that some other oral antibiotic would work better. Or to apply benzaclin bid, in the morning and in the afternoon, this can be such a hassle though (it's not like taking a pill). I've heard that ibuprofen or an H2 blocker such as ranitidine could be helpful but I've never really put the effort in those directions.
My sister had to go through two 6-month courses on Accutane before hers cleared up. My mom has acne into her late 40s. So, I don't think I have the time advantage on my side. I take Vitamin E 400IU and fish oil 3 g epa/dha, for a number of things but among them the hopes that it could improve my acne. I've also monkeyed with
Part of my problem is also trichotillomania. I'll post about that in another thread actually. I have severe skin picking issues as a part of that, which probably doesn't help.
