i suffered mild to moderate to severe acne and an oily face since high school and im now 26 years old. so its been over a decade since i suffered this skin disease (if i may call it). i was self medicating and have tried almost all kinds of topical treatment over the counter from retinoids cream, salicylic acid, clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, etc. some of them worked for me but only gave a short term result. yes it's true, it dries up my acne but after a while i'm breaking out of pimples again and the cycle goes on and on. i never went to a dermatologist because i am always hopeful that i may outgrow this pero wala gihapon nawagtang.hehe and just last month i decided to seek consult from a dermatologist. i visited Dr. Solano's clinic in cebu doc since i've heard good feedbacks about her on this website. she's a very nice doctor, approachable ug maminaw jud nimo plus she's a member of PDS. i told her about my history and the meds i tried. she's kind of worried kay wala ni work nako akong gigamit nga topical treatment nya its been a while na daw akong acne. so she decided to put me on oral therapy and some topical treatment. as of now, wala pakoy 1 month sa akong course of treatment pero makita na nako ang huge difference sa akong nawng before i started the treatment. mo follow up pa ko niya after 1 month para iya ma assess. all i can say, her prescription worked wonders to me.
