My DS(16) has terrible acne. Our family doctor had prescribed benzaclyn(sp?) and tetracycline, both of which he took for 3 months. It hasn't done a thing for him. He will not prescribe accutane(sp?) We've tried over the counter Neutragena and AcneFree neither of them have cleared up his skin. I called the clinic for getting an appointment with a dermatologist and the next appointment that I can get him in is 2 months out. While we are waiting for his appointment, I thought I could have him try proactive. Anyone not have proactive work for bad acne? I think you can return it if you are not happy with it. The only time his skin is clear is in the summertime when he is in the swimming pool.
Does the dermatologist recommend products, or are they usually all prescription? I've asked around and it seems most of his friends have had luck with over the counter products. I'm just curious how this would work.
Thanks.
