Proactive never worked for me..in fact nothing ever really has. I have very bad cystic acne, worse than anyone I know. My face just stays broken out around my chin, and hurts until they drain. They never really ever went away, just drained, stayed down a week maybe then flared back up. Same spots all the time. My face when Im cleared up looks like I have chickenpox because of all the red scars from this. My sister uses Mary Kay (she also has PCOS), but her breakouts have never been as bad as mine. For a while the natures cure pill was working, but i became immune to it. My doctor put me on benamycian...(spellin may be off), and that didnt work. My new doctor has me on spironolactone and solodyn with differin at night, and so far its great. My skin has been clearer than ever. Granted, its still a little broken out, but its only been 3 weeks. Im hoping this is the cure. This guy Im seeing knew I had PCOS just by looking at how I break out, I didnt have to mention it to him. So Im keeping my fingures crossed. And thank god for insurance because Id be forking out over $700 a month for these 3 prescriptions if not! |
