Are there any other acne treatments that are powerful other than Accutane?

Lady asked:


I have cystic acne, and my doctor told me that I should definitely try Accutane. The only issue is that my insurance doesn’t cover it and it would cost over $1000 a month. I’ve been using the Murad acne process and that’s been working well for me, but that doesn’t work for the cystic acne under the skin, only the blemishes on the top layer. Are there any other medications or products that have worked on cystic acne that you know of? Thank you times ten in advance.
I’m already using a topical treatment called Murad. It’s basically Proactive x10 so that really won’t help me. That doesn’t take care of acne under the skin, only on top.

It rarely form white heads, and they hurt alot, typical diet and washing twice a day just isnt cutting it, I need a pill or something i could take, that would not cost alot to get because i dont have Health Insurence. What are some medications I could specifically ask for that dont cost a whole lot?

I am 18 years old and i have acne and really bad scars and blemishes!!! Ive used everything my dermatologists have recomended such as acutane and other medications and nothing helps. Ive even tried proactive but that had no effect on my skin.i have really really sensitive skin and everytime i try something it makes me break out. Please help me to find something that will clear my scars and stop me from breaking out. And also to get rid of my blemishes. Thank u.—-Jake

Heather asked:


I use Dermatopix to wash my skin at night and I also use Ziana. Doctors say it’s good to use this stuff, but I feel like it’s unhealthy. It has helped my acne a little, but in its place I have dry, discolored skin. Is there a way I can simply drop the medications and use natural remedies? Or will it only make my skin worse?
Thanks so much for the help!
