I’ve had clear, shiny skin until November last year. I have been tested for pcos and thyroid, both negative. I’m on doxycycline since the last one month, and honestly I do not see much changes. I hate my chin area and that’s usually where most of my acne comes. I hate it when those white pustules come it just makes me feel super ugly. I do not know what has gone wrong - I drink enough water, I eat clean, I avoid dairy and sugar. My skin barrier gets compromised time and again, and I heal it by not doing anything for 3 days. Clindamycin Adapalene has stopped working for me. I feel hopeless and sad.
Current routine:
AM : wash face with a dermat suggested cleanser, and then moisturize
PM: wash face, spot treat with clindamycin adapelene gel (which has absolutely stopped working for me), moisturize
I’ve seen good results with tret for most people and was wondering if I should give it a try? Also, if there are any other remedies that could work for me, please please help!😭 thank you!
Also, the chin area is much worse in person. Every other day I get the white pus filled pustules.
