DS1 had moderate-bad acne. He mainly had it around his hairline and into his hair but eventually spread down to his chin and cheeks. We tried several different things which I can't remember now. One of them was Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% & Sulfur 5% cleanser and we tried Epiduofortegel. They all did a little something, but weren't totally successful. The one thing we tried which had a dramatic result was 90 days of antibiotics. The dermatologist recommended sarecycline but I was nervous because it was a relatively new antibiotic so they gave DS1 something in that family. It might've been doxycycline or tetracycline, I can't remember. But it helped TREMENDOUSLY. Now he only gets pimples when he's been resting his head or chin in his hands OR when he's stressed about finals. But even then they don't come back with the same ferocity that they did before. The doctor said the pimples could come back again and DS1 might have to go on another dose, but the doctor didn't expect it.
