[QUOTE="Libbaloo, post: 952566, member: 202107"] Thank you for your comments and insights so far. My daughter has tried various topical treatments including the mix up solution which I think was zineryt. The only thing that seemed to sort it was 'Dalacin T' (Is that adapalene?) but that was earlier on and she seemed to become more immune to it after using it for a while. Sorry. I've lost count but know that various topical antibiotics and retinoids and the oral Oxytetracycline haven't really helped so far.. Most meds say be patient and wait for 8-10 weeks for things to show effect but my daughter is becoming increasingly fed up with the trying out of various things and some seem to add to the inflammatory response. All this with trying to cover up occasionally (most of the time she bares it out) and trying to cleanse and moisturise without creating extra problems. Diet may be key but she is a student and knows her own mind and doesn't really want to talk about her skin with me. Of course, there must be a strong link with diet, nutrition, vitamins, digestion etc and our general health and specific conditions and metabolism. I am glad we have the derm appt coming up. She has no more Oxytetracycline tablets to take and interestingly, this morning, I thought her skin had calmed down a bit but she isn't convinced. Close up, there is lots of current pore inflammation and the red marks of older healing lesions too. It is in a constant cycle. As Cat Lady says, it is a very upsetting condition, especially at an age when an attractive girl wants to look her best and can't cope with disguising it when having to focus on studies and life in college res..when she feels she is the only one having to cope with acne. Of course she is not, but that doesn't make it any easier and although I think it is moderate rather than severe, she says she thinks about it constantly as people look at it instead of her. I hope we will have some confidence when we see the derm. [/QUOTE]
