i used to be on minocin......got off that stuff pretty quick. sure it worked, but it made my skin sooo sensitive to the sun, even when i wore "waterbabies 45" on my skin, i got second degree burns from the sun (ad i live in CANADA!!). instead of risking skin cancer, i tried using tea tree oil, and i have found that to be the best remedy thus far. a dab on the zit, and it starts to dry up right away, i always notice a diff by the follwoing morning.

Don't worry bud. Amino acids don't hurt the skin.

I don't think it will go away unless you put those meds on you back and shoulders too - which can really start costing a heck of a lot. I'm on accutane. I was tired of putting stuff on all the time - and if you ever stop putting it on, it comes back. Accutane makes it permanently go away. It's not right for everyone, but you may want to talk to your dermatologist about it. Maybe heavy sweating could be aggrivating it.

Don't assume that accutane will make your acne go away. I thought the same thing, but it didn't completely clear it up. My acne really wasnt all that bad to start with either.

Don't look at accutane as a permanent cure. In my case all it did was get it under control so now my topical products work better.
