Hi there Subhashree.
I hear your issues & understand your anguish.
How old are you? Is the mental pressure purely on account of your acne or are you under some sort of stress either in your personal or professional life?
Are you married & if so, on any contraceptive & will you be willing to take a tablet for 6 months or so & not conceive for this period & for 2 months after you stop it..ie 8-9months in all?
Which part of the world do you live in?
I suggest you take a second opinion on the ground & if in the Bangalore region, feel free to look me up at Vikram Hospital or Sita Bhateja hospital in Bangalore.
Should you care to answer my questions or source me out in the private section on this HCM site, most welcome too.
It is a matter easily resolved & wish you a clear complexion soon.
