For those of you who developed acne on Parnate, how long were you off the drug before the acne went away? Did you use anything to make it go away faster?
I was on Minocycline for three months which had absolutely no effect on my skin and then developed a rash and had to stop taking it. I don't know if it would work now that I am Parnate-free but I am nervous about that rash and afraid to resume taking it.
I also have Retin A which has always made my skin peel terribly and my face bright red so I use it sporadically which I suppose isn't very helpful anyway; I think you need to use it every day to see results.
I've been going tanning for a few weeks; I remember tanning helped with my acne at one point. So far, no results.
I've also been using at-home chemical peels and microdermabrasion for months now which have had no effect.
Please help.
My Body Dysmorphic Disorder was bad enough before Parnate turned my skin into this monstrous looking mess of acne. There is literally not one inch of my face that is not covered by pimples. And I have NEVER had skin this bad. Never.
