How long have you been on the antibiotics? It usually takes a couple of weeks at the minimum to see a big difference. Also have you tried changing your diet? (cutting out dairy) or supplementing? Honestly, your acne looks quite mild-moderate to me so I wouldn't recommend accutane..

I'm sorry you're feeling depressed but you are not alone, I cry everyday because of it and take anti depressants (they haven't helped so far). I've tried everything except Accutane. Antibiotics aren't helping at all. I've just started birth control and intend to stay on it for 6 months to see if it works but so far my skin is worse than before!

I plan to ask my GP for a referral to a dermatologist ASAP, maybe you should do this too? If the birth control doesn't help and the dermatologist lets me, I plan to try accutane. If you need a friend to talk to, PM me! Hope things get better for you.

Not sure how bad my acne is but it is literally refusing to go away. I wash my face twice a day and I apply benzoyl peroxide to my skin twice a day throughout a twelve hour gap also.

It's getting me down, I look at pictures of my skin before it was covered in acne and I just get depressed as fuck.

Can anyone suggest what can be done? I went to the doctors and got some oxytetracycline which I take 4 times a day but nothing seems to be working.

Sorry to hear mate. Are you following the precise directions of the regime? Avoiding irritation and consistency all play a essential role in clearing skin.

Do you pick/pop? How often do you exfoliate? Do you moisturize? Use any antioxidants? How much sleep do you get a night? Do you exercise? What's your diet like?

Sorry for the interrogation, but it could help narrow down what might be useful to you.
