A couple of years ago I went a derm be/c of the uneven tone (even color). I tanned ALOT! and was getting the fungus crap on my face bt the time didn't know what it was.. the tanning salon would tell me to use wipe out (gel for face) and selsun blue, but they told me to put it on the spots which after don't research along time after that I read that I have to actually use iit as shampoo (the salons don't realize this). So anyway b4 I found out that's why I went to the derm plus I would get cysts doing my period (one or two). So he gave me Clindamycin in the am and differ at night and I had to stop tanning :( But i did and my face was clear!Really! My face wasn't really bad but it was never clear either until this derm visit...... Then I started tanning again after awhile (like months for like forever) and using the differin at night was just drying my face out too much with tanning you know. Like I said my face wasn't really that bad (i didn't have alot) but the type of acne I had was servere. So my face was fine until now.... and it is all do to my switch in birth control pill. Alesse sux!! for me anyway. In October I started taking alesse be/c my old one was making my very dry, so i tool it for a month then my boyfriend and I broke up so i didn't really need it lol, be/c I don't have insurance so if i didn't need it and didn't have the money for it then I just didn't get it...... Sorry In a couple mins I will finish lol I have to take my mom to her friends house to watch big brother lol she doesn't drive. Brb

Ok back sorry, So anyway I stopped taking birth control pills (I have been on bc pills for a very long time, since I started my period at 12 you know for cramps and whatever. So about a month of not taking them there was a major difference in my skin i was breaking out more. I didn't even realize that it was be/c I wasn't taking the bc pills anymore i just didn't know what was going on and thought it would go anyway. ( I only took the alesse for a month then stopped). So my face looked pretty bad (but not too bad where I wouldn't go out of the house) for the couple months that I wasn't on the pills. Then my boyfriend and I got back together in april and I started taking the alesse again, within two and a half months of being on the alesse my face is now so bad that I WILL NOT GO OUT OF THE HOUSE!! I will only go across the bridge to drop my mom off at her friends, and only be/c my car windows are little tinted. I won't even go through the drive through window. I mean it's bad! My face has never ever ever been this bad! So Now I am taking piro 100mgs and doxy 100mgs right now. But nothing is happening. I've been on doxy for a month now and I feel like it's just getting worse. I am supposed to go back to the derm on the 6th but i think i going to make a sooner appointment. I am thinking about getting back on the differin at night be/c that really did clear up my skin. I'm not tanning anymore either :( Oh and I have only been taking spiro for a week and it take 2 to 4 months to kick in so I know i can't count on that yet. With the cetaphil cleanser I can't use them. It made my face itchy. So I still need to find a cleanser to use right now I'm using clean and clear it's in a purple bottle. And with the cetaphil lotion I know it says non-comedogenic but it still seems like everytime I use it a cyst or pimple come up I dont know why it's weird. My face is very weird and it's hard to know what to do for it. Keep us posted on how your face is doing.
