You look so serious in all pics! ha aha. Honestly, I do think you're pretty. It isn't that bad.. they are small and won't leave scars.

OMG... you're one of the only people I have seen with the same type of acne as my son... It's exaclty the same type! He has more than you, but still... it's samll little acne, not cystic at all. He unfortunately has it all over his back as well. And some on his chest. We have tried alot of regimens, but it always made him alot worse. So we stopped medicating with prescribed meds and started researching natural options. It's been two months that he has stopped dairy, and lately we have switched to gluten free... Have you ever found out what type of acne you have? I would love to know, as it is not a common type... We are also doing the NAET allergy testing/treatment now. We will see.

Ghostunit - haha! I dont mean to look so serious, I was a tad nervous about taking photos of my spots as I never have done that before! Thankyou though, I really appreciate that. Ive been feeling a little down about it this week.

SonWithAcne - I wish your son all the luck. Does his acne seem to be mostly underskin? Thats where mines is concentrated on, at first I felt it looked for like an allergic reaction as it has gotten worse the past few months, however my period came back in April after being ceased for 2 months and my skin started getting bad from May so I kinda believe that its hormonal. The past 5 days I have given up milk too and Im going to stick with that and see if it helps a bit. What is the NAET testing?

Be happy. You're beautiful ^^

NAET is an alternative method of testing for intolerances/allergies... and treating them one by one until they aren't an issue anymore. We went this way because I found that my son's acne looked more like an allergic reaction over the years than actual acne... I will keep you up to date. You can look it up online, if you type NAET for acne or something similar, you will get some hits that you can check out. Hopefully, yours will resolve on it's own. It's a real struggle trying different things and nothing seems to get rid of it. Oh well... Keep smiling, you're a beautiful girl!

Thanks for the exlplaination I will look up NAET testing. In my earlier comment I meant to say that my period was ceased for 2 YEARS! Not months, my doctor does'nt seem to think that mines is an allergic reaction though. I have actually given up shampoo too, I am looknig into an organic one that does not contain Sodium Loryel Sulfate as I know it can be an irritant towards acne, thats only been about 3 weeks without shampoo so we will see how I get on. I hope your son gets the answers and eventually gets clear, good luck to you both! And thankyou
