A member asked:
If you've been struggling with acne for over 10 years and have already taken accutane, could the reason be diabetes or a kidney problem ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All acne is an individual reflection of genetics & environment. While most consider this a ritual of passage for the teen years for some it will last into their 30's and beyond. Treatment must be individualized to the person after an exam & review of past treatments. Find a dermatologist and develop a daily skin care plan. Your diabetes or kidney issues are likely of little importance to your acne
