Oh, he did give me two perscriptions too. One is a testosterone suppresant... does this mean that pesky hair on my neck won''t grow back too? (Just one hair, but still, pisses me the heck off... what does it think it''s doing there?!? who invited it?). The other is an antibiotic.

We''ll just see. Whatever he gives me, if I''m fresh and clear on my wedding day, I''m going to kiss that man. On the cheek.

Lyra I''d be inclined that way too, but I assume Doc was all ''try evrything at once!'' because my wedding is in... 6 weeks! No time for fun and games! I need clear skin ASAP!

As someone who suffers from acne and has been needing perscription treatment for since the age of 10, I have been on everything. Antibotics are common solution and I think work very well.
As for the testasterone suppresent, does you acne get worse at certain times in you cycle? If so, it was a good catch on his part. If not, It probably won''t help. I do have cyclical acne based on my hormones but stopped taking the treatment because it killed my sexdrive, just something to consider.

He may be one of those people who believes using all natural stuff is better for your whole body hence the specialized, seemingly unrealted products, but its hard to tell.

awhh....I don''t get out much...and I live in well cocooned world...would it be too much to ask what LGBT stands for? I think it is the name of the other bball team, but the old noggin is not registering anything. Is it best I remain clueless?

DKS, no worries. I''m not sure I would have known if I didn''t go to a very liberal women''s college. LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.

Newsflash! I googled Dr. Derm, and he''s a member of all kinds of fancy physicians associations and seems 1000% legit and well respected in the medical community.

The mystery of the dashing 3 piece suit might be explained by his name also coming up in association with a prominent LGBT publication. Dr. Derm is not batting for our team, ladies! I''m sure you''re as disappointed as I am. FI, on the other hand, will no doubt be overjoyed.

I have nothing of value to add about acne, but IG - I just have to say that your posts always crack me up! You have such a funny way of putting things!

FI can rest easy!

Thanks Crown Jewel...got it. If you don''t mind...I might need to come to you again...these young whipper snappers have so many abbreviations it is so hard to keep up. LOL. ROTF. With your help, maybe we can be BFF. But one thing is for sure, I won''t be batting for that team Indy mentioned. Signed a contract for the forever thing, til death do we part. This team''s equipment suits me fine.

not batting for our team, ladies

I am rolling on the floor!!

Too funny. Didn''t you refer to him as delicious? Poor Julianna...

she had her heart set on Mr Pocket Square. We can start a cause...for her, can''t we. Find the properly uniformed mc dreamy for Julianna?

Ha!! That is funny...this derm I told you about that sold his own products in our city...also runs in that upper echelon of top tier derms. That is why SIL went there first. You know, most physicians are guilty of hocking some line...they get a kick back for doing so. So, I suppose they think as long as I am going to be a *hore (sorry that is a tad offensive isn''t it?) about it, I might as well hock mine?

Aw, thanks DKS, keep your eyes peeled for Mr Pocketsquare 2.

The only thing that has ever worked for my skin has been Proactiv. Have you tried that at all? I swear its a gift from god it works so well.

Just reread my post...I am not looking for a naked mr pocket square...as in "ununiformed" as my misspelled vague post suggested. I meant one not wearing THAT PARTICULAR TEAM uniform.

No wonder you replied so quickly Juilanna! The one I look for will be clothed...completely...I mean with out clothing the pocket square maybe be obsolete as there would obviously be NO pocket. So therefore I needed to make this correction and make sure you know...there will be some sort of uniform/clothing/raiment/ and not the afore suggested.

In closing, I am on it.

Hey Indy! Hot Playing-For-The-Other-Team Dermatologist aside, I''d be careful with the testosterone suppressant. The BCP I was on had a testosterone suppressant effect and it certainly works for the acne (if it''s hormonal acne), but it has other effects, such as depression, loss of sex drive, that sort of thing. I seriously felt like I was bottling myself up or something.

Other than that, Differin worked well for me in the past, so I''m looking at getting a new prescription.

Good luck! I certainly feel your pain.
