Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Completely cleared resistant adult cystic acne that had not responded to any topical meds or to Accutane. |
| Side effects: | | None. I had regular blood tests to check liver function, but had no negative reactions of any type. |
| Comments: | | Fifteen years of dermatologists, peels, topicals, Accutane, and nothing had cleared my cystic acne and constant breakouts, though a few treatments lessened the severity. Flutamide 125mg b.i.d. took one month to take effect, and within 6 weeks completely cleared ongoing resistant acne that had lasted more than 20 years and was worsening in my late 30s. AFter one year, we tried weaning off the drug. The results lasted for about 5 months, before the acne gradually returned. Went back on flutamide, and a month later the acne had left. We are now trying to see if a lesser maintenance dose is possible. |
