I use a 2% salicylic acid wash, and that helps to resolve active acne, but for me, it doesn’t keep them from coming back, so it’s a constant battle. I only have one small black tat, so I’m in the tan booth at least once a week to keep the acne hidden. I may very well have to go back on accutane, but when I used that as a teen, it made me suicidal. Now, admittedly, it may have been in combination with all of the other crazy shit going on with me when I was 17, but it worries me.
