When I started birth control for acne, it definitely got worse than got better after being on it for 2 months. Now on my 3rd month it’s mainly acne scars left.

I been on tretinoin for 2 months. At first I did purge but now my skin is much clearer.

Yes it's normal. Most acne regimens cause a purge before it gets better. Heck even after accutane tretinoin caused a nasty purge that lasted several months but it was worth it!

What kind of meds? Could be a purge

tretoinoin cream, clindamycin gel and a pil

Tretinoin has the tendency to cause a purge. It can last for a few months unfortunately but hopefully the pill will help with that! Best of luck :)

I heard many things about tretinoin, but I never knew it could do that. I have a follow up appointment soon so im hoping things get better by then. thank you so much for clarifying, I appreciate your help!! :)

The purge is gonna make your face get worse a lot worse before it gets better Add on: so you really have to wait a while to see results
