Hi anyone in my boat? I don't know what to expect. I don't want to get my hopes up that there is any 'cure'. I don't even know what they can offer me.
I did roaccutane over 10 years ago which had great results but it was only a short remission and I've struggled for the last 7 years. I have scarring all down my back/neck and all over my face. I get large painful deep cysts. Sometimes the cysts go away by themselves sometimes they kind of explode when the skin is too stretched and there is no pus, just blood and clear fluid.
It is all hormonal acne. GP has now admitted I've tried everything possible I am either resistant or it's not working because it's hormonal. I cannot take the pill because I get migraine with aura so I am contraindicated.
I've written a list of everything I've tried and will take this along with me. Any other tips?
