Teenage Daughter Has Severe Acne

My teenage daughter has severe acne (also when I say severe, I mean severe, not just teenage acne, severe cystic acne) bless her, she uses such expensive skincare constantly, and she’s also on accutane and clairette. She does everything she possibly could to make her skin better and while it has gotten better, it still doesn’t look clear and I just know it kills her self esteem, she’s opened up to me a few times and ended up crying, I just feel awful for her. She wears makeup a lot, but still feels self conscious and I just have no idea what to do to make her feel better. She’s absolutely gorgeous, but nothing makes her feel better, any ideas??? (sorry for the long post)

Dianette worked for me but I needed to be on it until my mid 20's.

Stress also played a big part looking back.

I developed acne rosacea in my 30's which was diet related, tomatoes, chocolate, alcohol were the main culprits. Stress again plays a part too in that.

Agree with anything phytoestrogen needing looked at. Definitely look at Vit D it has a huge effect on all sorts of systems. Joint pain, depression etc etc.
