Sure. I had a severe acne problem too when I was in my teens. I was on accutane for about 3 months, but discontinued because I experienced pain, weakness, and I was very close on having suicidal thoughts. Anyway, the point is stay away from accutane. It will do you harm in the longrun, it damages the liver and the glands that produce the body's natural oils. I say stay with the natural stuff. My advice is to try taking a tablespoon of Flaxseed Oil every 12 hours. It is an excellent skin healer and for many it has been know to reduce the production of oil. Try also taking twice a day Acidophilus 1 Billion organisms non-dairy type. It keeps the digestive system balanced with good bacteria. Vitamin C 1000mg a day helps. Zinc 30-50mg daily is another skin healer. Chromium Picolinate 200-400mcg daily reduces skin infections. Tea Tree Oil is known to be just as good as benzoyl peroxide but is less irritable and shows faster results (take a q-tip and dab a little on a large pus filled pimple and watch it disappear!). Drink lots of water. Stay away from soda, greasy foods, and especially dairy products. Get lots of rest and hope for the best! :)
Keep me updated.
** I forgot to mention a very important herb called Milk Thistle that will definitely give you obvious results in a matter of weeks. It basically is a powerful blood & liver cleanser. From a site: "The liver is the body’s second largest organ, which is responsible for detoxifying pollutants and processing nutrients and fats. Another noted benefit is the herb’s ability to reduce inflammation, and may retard skin cell proliferation, a mechanism that can lead to such conditions as psoriasis." Take one capsule twice a day for about a week and see if you notice any results. Make sure you drink lots of water with it. You can buy all this at Target or any large chain like Walmart. I bought my stuff at Target, good prices. **
