For Acne "My acne was terrible. I felt like I had tried everything and that my next option was going to have to be Accutane (something I really did not want to try!). I tried like 4 different dermatologists before I was finally recommended to try Solodyn, and within 2-3 months, my acne began clearing and not coming back. I took it for about 6 months, and I had a few pimples (but they were nothing like the ones I had before) and some scarring. I started slowly going off the Solodyn by taking half a pill every day and then every other day until I just totally stopped. It's been about 6 or 7 months since my last Solodyn pill, and my skin still looks great. I usually will have one or two small pimples, but I usually just spot treat with Epiduo."

For Acne "Solodyn made my son's acne worse, and he ended up with pitting and scarring. His pediatrician suggested a milk-free diet due to his Latino heritage. We gave that a whirl, and it really did the trick. No more outbreaks. The same thing worked for my grandson. He had terrible back acne, so we eliminated the milk. Voila, it cleared up. No drugs disrupting the gut biofilm."

For Acne "This medicine leaves me feeling undecided and confused. First off, it made me break out badly, and in a type of way I never did before. I had huge cysts all over my back. My doctor said that it 'gets everything out of your skin then clears you up.' I did clear up after 4 months on it. It wasn't until the last month it improved. The problem is that it scarred me everywhere from the cysts. I never broke out on my back like that before, and it actually hurt. I'm hoping the scars become less dark. Bottom line: It broke me out badly for 3 months and then cleared up, and I'm left with scars. My skin is much clearer, but I'm still getting small pimples on my shoulders and face."
