Adult acne, always coming back

Adult acne, always coming back

I'm 24 years old and my Dr. has had me on Bactrim for years now. It keeps my face pretty clear,I still get a few break out while on it. Every time I stop taking it, within a few weeks my face is totally broken out again. I feel that my body is used to the bactrum now so I have to keep taking it or else I will always break out again. This has been going on for years. I asked my doctor to let me try the accutane. I know it has harsh side effects but the misery of dealing with this acne for so long makes me want to take the risk. I know people that have taken the accutane and then never broke out again afterwards. I get off the bactrim clear, and then I break out worse than ever. Why does this happen?

What kind of skin care are you doing? You need a good water soluble cleanser like cetaphil and a good beta hydroxy lotion to exfoliate.Moisterize only where you are dry.And be very gentle with your skin.I am 50 and I stll get a breakout but not like I did before I stared this skin care routine.2 x a day  am and pm
Oh and dont forget a good sunscreen.
