First of all, I have been coming here for a couple days now and reading all the posts about acne. It has made me feel so good to know I am not alone.
I have moderate to severe acne and it has just flared up really in the last year and a half.

I have tried so many things and did all of them religiously and nothing has worked. I have done
- erythromycen
- tetracycline
- marvelon bc
- alesse bc
- benzoyle peroxide
- that saclic acid (or how ever you spell it )
- honey masks
- cinamon home remedies
- I even tried to buy some stuff off a web site OXZIT (don't waste money on this stuff)

Latest thing I've tried is drinking lemon juice and putting it on my face with the occasional baking soda paste. made somewhat of a difference but really just helps swelling.

Anyway, right now I am waiting for my drug plan to kick in to go get some accutane, but I read something about SPIRO? What is this stuff? Does anyone think I should try this first if it is safer?

Please help I am desperate. my 3 year old daughter asked me why I have chicken pox, that hurt. I am tired of hiding in my house till my skin clears, if it ever happens.
