IT just occured to me after reading here I might have this. My mom has a bright red face all the time, it really upsets her. Mine isnt like that, but its pinkish most of the time and splotchy, and always irritated directly above my lips. Those red marks have been there for years, forever. My skin is kind of thick in places, not a normal texture, one of the symptoms.

But then again could be 'post breakout redness'... all these symptoms run into each other. good thing you guys are experts!

Oh, and these pics are after using ACV for 5 days so skins quite calm, but after jogging or being hot Ill get bright pink all over. ive gotten heat stroke before.


Ill save you a few clicks and post pics from my other post since I dont know how to link em.

your right about your second guess its just acne related, compareded to alot of peoples your reddness is not that bad, well doesnt look that bad i know that in your mind it will look bad, because we all strive towards a perfectly clear face,

some of the redness may have been caused by the acv as its slighty acidic, if you apply it neat you should dilute it a little (you said you have thick skin so you wont need to dilute it much), as that may have helped towards the redness

sadly acne from redness can stick with you for your entire life.... most people heal up after a year or so... but others find 5 years is the mark..... as a rule of thumb the worse your acne was then the longer it will take to heal.

to help your face heal try to use less harsh products for example if your using the amount of bp dan's regium reconmmends then your face will take longer to heal as its more focusesd to people still trying to stop acne also just use it in the areas needed as bp does not help already clear skin, this will help speed up your recoverey a little

You don't look red at all to me. I'm a little jealous, actually!

It just looks like acne to me. AVC will probably help the red marks over time.
