This is a problem with Drying herbals as well. When treating a Dampness
condition, it is critical to avoid ‘Harming the Yin’ by over Drying.
‘Anti-Wind, Drying herbals’ (like Peppermint) especially have this tendency.
May I recommend you consume a little American Ginseng to help counter this
effect of the drug you are using?

Accutane is something you take orally, not something you apply to the
skin.  I suspect you’re thinking of Retin-A; the liquid can really
burn (I had great results with Accutane, but the Retin-A, which I’d
tried a few years earlier, was more than my skin could handle, and it
just shrugs off 10% benzoyl peroxide).

I had a nasty problem with acne on my back (bad thing for a woman, bra
straps hurt like a bitch). I started keeping my bedding washed every other
day and using Pears glycerin soap to wash my body. I also use Zinc
supplements. These all help greatly and I avoided the cost of
prescriptions. I was given samples of Acutane, for me it made the problem
worse, apparently I am allergic to it. Burned the skin and stung like you
wouldn’t believe! If you’ve tried everything else, tho, I can only say I
hope it works for you. Another option is cutting all oils out of your diet;
it’s difficult, but the less oil that goes in, the less can come out. Of
course, if you live with someone who cooks for you, this can be even
tougher. Good luck finding something effective for you.
