Well the NHS referral will mean they pay for it. but otherwise you can find a place that does it.

Cheers Jen.

Mind you I really don't think he has deep scarring as such, a little but he does have stubble, so I assume stubble then shaving could also aggrivate the acne as well?

Di they are better for your face becuase they contour and dont nip, they are less likely for ingrown hairs which contribute to acne.

Might the appropriate homoeopathic treatment be black holes - link?

I've no idea, though, what "potency" (dilution) would be needed.

Re: Acne Medication advice???

Thank you all.
Very interesting feedback and links.

Well we attended the appointment this morning and the doctor said what i said, its still early days, but although the main part of my son's face - the acne seems to be clearing, it's still a bit angry on his forehead, so what the doc did was change his meds and cream to something different and my son has to return back to see him in 2 months time.

The new meds:
Doxycycline 50MG One to be taken daily
And
Differin - 45g Adapalene 0.1 Gel - to be applied each day to the forehead area.

Re: Acne Medication advice???

Blimey, the Differin gel is absolutely fab up to now, within just days of my son being prescribed this it's done wonders, my son is chuffed up to now.
