I'm the same as you, and am on accutane. I don't feel it's made those things worse. +emma29810/6/2012 3:51AM

Spiro all the way + Yaz. My acne resisted everything, less side effects than Accutane.juliamoore10/6/2012 12:14AM

BCP and maybe talk to your derm about Jessner peels. They really help a lot of ppl with cystic acne.DecoDolly10/5/2012 8:08PM
