Hi all, I'm 23 and words cant express how relieved I am to have found this group. I have stress related acne that I've been dealing with for the past two years. It seems like a cruel twist of fate that I had basically flawless skin in my teen years only to end up with this!

My question is this: what sort of tips do y'all have for stress related acne?

I'm on clindamycin, differin, and OTC-lo. I used to get nodules and papules and they've done a pretty good job of clearing up my acne in that I usually have 0-1 actives at a time--but if I get extremely stressed out then I'll get a a monster or two on my face. Grr so frustrating (although Ill take it any day over my old complexion).
