The SOLUTION



I was prescribed the following to TREAT and RID me of my Cystic Acne:
Solodyn 80mg aka MINOCYCLINE HCL {pill}
Retin-A 0.08% Micro Gel aka TRETINOIN MICROSPHERE {topical}
Onexton Gel aka CLINDAMYCIN PHOS-BENZOYL PEROX{topical}
&
I was told NOT to consume DAIRY.


What about Pizza? Cheesecake? Pies, Cupcakes and other assortments of baked goods?


Hold on! So, no ice cream, yogurt. macaroni pie {mac & cheese}?
So after almost 30 yrs of consuming dairy, I'm supposed to just STOP.

Began my treatment on Aug 25th 2015.
In conjunction to my Rx'd meds, I went dairy free and pescatarian.
Scheduled my 2 month follow up appointment for Oct 27th, 2015.

After seeing Dr. Emineth my skincare routine got remixed a bit
