I am a 25 year old male, am about 5;10 175 lbs

I wouldn't say I have a SEVERE acne problem but DO have some moderate to serious issues at times with it. I have been going to a derm for about 10 years and it seems that not too much works to put the acne to bed.

My problem lately is i'll have a time wear I wont really have much.....maybe a couple little tiny zits around my mouth but you could barely see them. Then all of a sudden...BAM. I've got like 3-4 huge cysts on my face.

I have one on there now that is seriously the size of a dime....now I feel a couple developing on my chin....I just know its time for another horrible breakout. I can actually feel the one that I have now pulsating....so wierd.

Anyway....do you guys think I should bring up accutane to my derm? I am thinking about it but was really worried about this whole "huge breakout" thing that happenes during the treatment. I'm wondering if its owrth it.

Right now I'm on Minocyclin and it works for the most part---but I want to rid myself completely. So depressing
