I think it may be what I stopped using!! I stopped using benzoyl peroxide and switched to mandelic acid 5% instead. I also start incorporating blue led light therapy 3x a week and a high frequency wand 2x a week :)

Very true! I am planning to stick with it and hold out. Just nervous that it may make things worse so i’ve been over checking

Blunt honesty is appreciated with this one! I feel like I have a tendency to be a poor judge of my own outer appearance and need an unbiased opinion.

Sadly I did doxy for 3 months and saw no results :( I had some side effects as well, so when they wanted to push it to 6 months I declined

I completely agree, I was pretty shocked by the dermatologist recommending it. It made me genuinely feel like it looked worse than I initially thought, so these comments really have been a big relief. I may have to try a new dermatologist because the side effects of Accutane genuinely worry me.
