I have been researching different acne treatments for your body, and I found something called ZENMED. They have a body acne treatment but I have never heard of them before. They are a little pricey so I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it or know someone that has and if it is worth it?
Thanks!

Yes, I am aware of the downside of teens using this product. But after trying Dermatologists, Proactive, Probiotics – in short – everything I can think of, my 15 year old son is very upset over his cystic acne.

Does Accutane work on someone this young or are his hormones going too crazy at this point for anything to work?

I have tried just about everything from over-the-counter things, to prescribed treatments and medication. Nothing seems to work, and while my face is very clear and I rarely have a blemish, it is still a problem on my shoulders, chest, and both my lower/upper back. It is not extreme, but enough to make me self-conscious. Does anyone know of anything organic/herbal that works?

I’m seriously considering it.

My daughter is getting acne breakouts on her back and on her forehead and occasionally pops up in other areas of her face. She’s gone to the dermatologist and uses the medicine. It works a little, but Is there a better solution or health practice alternative or the ultimate solution to keep it from reoccurring?

I’ve been on and off Minocin for almost a year in order to treat my acne. (I also use RetinA). The first time I used it, I completely cleared up so my derm. took me off the medication. I started flaring up again and so he put me on 50 mcg instead of 100. It didnt really work and so now im back on 100 mcg. However, its been a month and i dont seem to be clearing up as well as before. I was wondering if anyone had had this experience. Or if anyone has been on this medication for so long? Im starting to get worried because i do know that taking antibiotics long term is not a good idea. I’d like to stop taking the medication but I’m worried my acne will just come back…

My son’s dermatologist is trying a prescription body wash for my son’s severe acne, and said if this doesn’t work, he will try accutane. I was reading up on the literature he gave us about it and some of the side effects are pretty bad. I’d like to hear from someone who’s used it, did it help the acne? What side effects did you have?

I had terrible acne as a teenager and although it’s gone now my skin looks dull, distressed and discoloured, it really makes me look unhealthy, would you recommend it?
Does it improve the health of your skin?

I had acne for a long time and thankfully it already started to vanish little by little. However, my skin is light and I have horrible red and dark marks of acne. I would appreciate your help if you know a good cream or treatment for this, besides my skin is still oily. Thanks a lot
