"this medicine has helped bring cysts to the surface and clear them.  redness persists on cheeks though. skin will look completely clear one day and a large cyst like pimple will still develop and appear the next day.  i have read absorption rate increases by taking it with fatty foods so need to make a habit of that.  back of upper arms gets very red and dry and needed a steroid prescribed to help with that.  back and chest cleared completely.  dr. dan lip ointment worked wonders for dry lips."
