"i am a teenager and have been suffering from mild to now severe acne for a few years. i have tried so many creams and some worked for maybe a week or so and then stopped doing anything but make my skin irritated and dry. i&#039;ve been on minocycline for about 4 month now...it has cleared up my back and chest but has done nothing to my face. i still get acne on my cheeks, nose, and chin. next step for me would be accutane but i&#039;m hesitant to try that."
