I had acne but my doctor prescribed a 6 month course of antibiotics and they worked along with weight loss and supplements. Been off them around 10 weeks now and its not returned yet
My acne cleared up when I went on a low carb and no sugar diet!
I struggled with acne for years, tried every topical treatment under the sun, different skincare regimes, antibiotics, diet changes etc. The only thing that worked 🤞 was a course of roaccutane. You will need to be referred to a consultant dermatologist in order for it to be prescribed, as the medication is harsh on your body and it has many side effects.
I do not have the extreme aches but I would get huge spots deep under my skin not visible for the first couple of days but alot of pain before it becomes red and shows up as a spot and leave dark marks after they clear around my periods even when sometimes I do not regularly get periods but the shots will always be an indication of my monthly reminder
