"i&#039;m currently on my 5th week of differin. things aren&#039;t looking up. i&#039;m in college and i&#039;m currently interning before i get into med school - this means everyday practical exams and everyday patient evaluation. i&#039;ve lost all my self esteem - i wish i never went on differin in the first place. should i stop it? i was said it took 6-12 weeks to see results, and improvement right after the first month. that never happened and honestly, i no longer want to return to my dermatologist. it was an absolute waste of money and time.  my face is exploding with cysts, especially on my nose. and i hate seeing my patients like this. what should i do?"
