Hey all,
I've just recently started my 5 month claravis treatment. Right now I'm on day 15 and I'm looking horrible. I've had acne since I was in middle school, but it wasn't until about three years ago that it got really, really bad. I'm 23 years old and I'm just so tired of dealing with this crap, you know? I've been coming to this website for a while now and it really does help to read what everyone else writes. I decided I wanted to be a part of this, so here I am and hopefully this stuff will work because nothing else has. I'm the only one in my family with severe cystic acne. My two sisters have flawless skin and it's like, what the hell, how did I get stuck with this? But I wouldn't want them to go through what I go through. I won't let anyone see me without makeup. The only person who does is my fiancee and honestly I don't know how he can stomach it. I've been reading that the first two months are the hardest to get through and that my acne will get worse before it gets better...is this true? It seems like a long, long road ahead. What I really hate is the way people stare at me, especially at school. I try to keep a positive attitude, but its hard when I wake up and see my face in the mirror. What I'm really worried about is if I'm one of the people that this doesn't work for...that would really suck.
