I've been reading the boards and learning a lot. Started breaking out when I was 12, now 37 and still an issue. That's 25 years of struggle. Face, chest, back. Never went swimming, never wore tank top. Went through dermatologists for 9 years, went through Accutane, but that was 13 years ago, nothing lasts forever. Proactiv was a big help, and I still use it, but these days I"m focusing more on diet - eliminate coffee, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, and adding in fish oil, chromium picolinate and vitamins, after a very rough fall and winter season. Tried BCP's and perhaps they helped but I gained ten pounds so just quit that last week. I am hoping the clearing I'm seeing yesterday and today is the result of no coffee, beer or wine, and not those BCP's that I just gave up after two and a half months. The coffee headaches are only worth it if it works!! But from what I"ve read, it's a matter of getting some things back in balance. I feel like I am very close. I look good with a little make up, but I want to shine from the inside. Thanks for the boards. What a wealth of information.
