Bad acne 8 months post cycle

[sweetnsour]

Hello, I've had facial acne since my cycle ended last september. I can't figure out what to do or what could be wrong.

Testosterone : 348-1197; mine is 395
LH: 1.7-8.6; mine is 4.6
FSH: 1.5-12.4; mine is 3.5
Estradiol: 1.5-42.6; mine is 13

these are my bloods from last month. Maybe my E to test levels are too far apart? I've been on doxycycline along with tons of other topical retinoids. Accutane WAS working but my right eye started getting blurry so i discontinued it, was only taking 20mg a day.

Anybody have any ideas?

I don't know about the blood results, but i had very bad acne long time. Tried many things like doxycycline, cosmetic and the things that helped me were Accutane and Epiduo gel. I feel like Epiduo is working the same way as Accutane , but locally. It's expensive, but if you use it just for the face price is acceptable.

Go tanning, swear to god it clears you up like no tomorrow. And as we all know a 1% increase in tan adds a 10% increase in definition

You could use something basic as hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol just dont use a high enough concentration to cause mass irritation. If that starts to help it clear it up than bacteria could possibly be contributing to your issue. I have used hydrogen peroxide since my teens to stave off outbreaks, though make sure to keep the hydrogen peroxides contact with hair at a minimum or you will start seeing a weird shade of copper appear.

Accutane (20mgs), tanning and exfoliation every day. Thats what works for me.

tanning and salt water help a lot!

I remember when I had acne on my back I used to bathe in dead sea salts. Didn't clear it but made an improvement.
