How bad is your acne or the symptoms during the 4th or 5th month of accutane? I'm about to go on the drug accutane for my acne. I will be going on vacation in july. Then, would be my 4th month or 5th month while on accutane. I would like to know how my symptoms would be.

What are the best ways to make acne disappear? I'm 23 years old and my acne has never been so bad! I watch what I eat, get 7-8 hours of sleep each night, my dermatologist recently put me on Minocyclin... The acne is still there... It even seems worse now. I've been on the medicine for a little over two weeks. I feel that it should be cleared. Any remedies I haven't tried? Help! I was also put on Retin-A. All it did was make my face peel. One more question... Does pouring hydrogen peroxide on your acne work?

How to get rid of acne scars fast? I have a special meeting in two days and I need to lighten some of the acne scars I have. I know this sounds far fetched, but I have heard stories about products and home remedies that lighten scars in just a few days. I was wondering if anyone on here has experienced that or has any suggestions.

How many different products can I use on my face? also will my acne cream bleach clothing/sheets? I wash my face twice a day(which has salyllic acid in it if it makes a difference)and I also use a moisturizer and an acne treatment(that has benzoyl peroxide in it). I also use pore strips on my nose every once in a while. Would it be a good idea to start using an astringent? How many products is too many? Also, will my acne cream bleach my clothes/sheets? I used to use clearasil ultra tinted acne cream with benzoyl peroxide, and it warned me on the package that it may bleach things, and it does, so now I use AcneFree terminator acne cream, which also has benzoyl peroxide in it, but it didnt say anything on the package about it bleaching things, does anyone know if it will? Thanks!
