Heya everyone im a 16yr old male and I
have been suffering from acne for a couple
of years. I get it mainly on my face,
chest, upper arms and back. I was really
upset with how I was and was too
embarassed to talk to my parents about it.
One day I had had enough and told my mum
about it who was very understanding. She
booked me into my doctors and he has put
me on some tablets. They are called
"oxytetracyline" and I have been on them
for around 2 months. I am very pleased
with the outcome because I have already
cleared up very well and ppl often comment
on how it has cleared. I still have spots
on my back and arms mainly but because it
was so bad my doc said it would take a few
months to start to work and it has....I am
so pleased.
So my advice to anyone who is in the same
postition as me is to not be embarrased
about it.....You have it so its beter to
get it sorted. Its not like your the only
one...Nealry everyone gets it. Also u
will find ppl are always helpfull n kind
about it so it makes u feel better.
Good luck ppl

Yeah my dermatologist put me on something
similar to that about a month ago, but it
hasnt really kicked in yet. When did your
start to clear? At two monthes or was it
already clear at two monthes?

about 2 and a half months now and I first
really started to notice the change at

work but it will be worth it......Mine is
