Hi everyone. I am desperate for help. I have tried EVERYTHING for my acne but hormone pills and Accutane. I can't take accutane as I also have terrible eczema and VERY dry skin. Despite my completely dry skin that I have had my entire life, I have had terrible acne for two years; since I was 27. I cannot handle this well no matter how much I try to not care about how I look. Every day I have five or more new bumps. They are very deep and I am now chronically red...so much so that I have been told by a derm that I might have rosacea. Then another said I definitely have sebborhic dermatitis. To be honest I do not believe I have that at all. It looks like "all" I have is BAD acne. My chin is especially bad but I get bumps all over. Sometimes I get a bunch on my forehead. They last weeks. I am so embarrassed, but I know I should be stronger. I have almost always looked different from others...eczema on my face, now acne. I don't mean to feel sorry for myself but it is so hard for me that I have been suicidal the past year. :(

I want to try Diane 35 but don't know much about it. Will it make me put on weight. I've always had to fight SO hard to stay slim (eat mostly veggies and walk two or more hours everyday). My depression has been so bad this year that I have already put on 15 pound since February. I cannot take the extra stress of putting on more weight. Does anyone know what might help my skin but not add pounds?

I was just given Azelex but, I must be honest, I have little hope. It is also only the 20 mil dose as the doctore felt the 70% would be too harsh for my eczema. :( I just tried Nizoral and it made me hot, bright red and I am still peeling horribly bad. I did not expect that at all. I stuck with it for three weeks..HAD to pack ice on my face at school and work to cope with the burning and swelling. But three weeks is all I could take. My acne is as bad as ever; :(

Please help if you can. I am so desperate. I wish the best for all of you.

Sincerely,
Cynthia
