ACCUTANE!!! I had terrible, cystic, painful acne. I tried every topical cream and antibiotic you could imagine and NOTHING worked. Finally my doctor put me on accutane. There are some side effects like really dry lips and skin, skin sensitivity to the sun, and you shouldnt drink too much alcohol while you are on it, as it processes through your liver. Not everyone experiences side effects. I experienced all of the above, but it was SOOOOO worth it. My skin is clear as can be now. My brother, mother, and cousin just got off accutane within the past year as well, and their skin is better than ever. You typically take 1-2 pills every day for 4-6 months and then you never have to take the pills again! I dont know how it works, but after those months your acne is gone and most likely never coming back. I would go on TV and promote this medicine for free because I cant tell you how much better I feel now that my skin is clear. I would bring it up to your dermatologist!
Good luck!
