"i&#039;m 38 and have acne since 13. i have tried everything and finally a few years ago, just decided to live with it. i had a spot on my forehead that never seems to clear up, so the dermatologist put me on this and my acne has cleared up, similar to the results i had years ago from being on birth control pills. although my acne is cleared up, the spot i was concerned about hasn&#039;t changed, and next dermatologist appointment i&#039;ll have to have it biopsied. the only side effect is that i have more hair loss than what i consider normal in a day. my dermatologist had a $25 coupon for the prescription. otherwise even with insurance it is very expensive.
