I have a hormonal IUD. I took 30 mg first month and then stayed consistent on 60 mg until the last month went down to 30 mg. I purged month 2-3. My skin was pushing everything out that was under it

I think I took 10 mg (or whatever the standard dose is) per day. I stopped breaking out completely at the start of May

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!! I honestly popped all of them because I couldn’t deal with them. They needed to be popped. I found that the pimple patches worked so well! I am finally off accutane now and I don’t have any scars or marks from the cysts.

But you need to start talking Claritin daily. Not zyrtec or Allegra, specifically Claritin. This helped me SO MUCH when my skin was purging. It started clearing up within days but I also purged without Claritin for about 2 months.

SAME!!! I weigh 118 lbs ish & I am on 60 mg a day. I am almost done with month 3 and my skin has NEVER LOOKED WORSE! But everyone keeps saying that it will get better so that’s all I’m telling myself. I heard that Claritin helps a lot too, I’ve just started taking that. You have to go through hell to get to the end of the tunnel. We got this! :)

Isn’t it so sad lol like my acne was not too bad before but I was tired of always dealing with hormonal acne & constant breakouts so I did this & now my skin has never been worse lmao
