Hey, Im Nick - 27 and from the Midlands in England.

I suffered a batch of acne in 2004 but it cleared up pretty quickly, but sadly in 2010 in came back really badly and I have been suffering with it ever since, I have good weeks and bad weeks good days and bad days.

Ive struggled mentally with this as I went through my teens with literally nothing. The thing about my skin is that its only on my forehead, my GP was a disgrace at best and eventually I paid £160 to go and see a Dermatologist, After being prescribed many different drugs and lotions and creams,

Tetrasycline
Differen
Duac

Even trying my own remedy of Arnica nothing helped and the grease just got worse and worse and the spots just got worse. I work in hospitality management which causes such problems, and in the senior role I'm in its disgusting and I honestly repulse myself.

My Derma advised my mum that stressing about it constant looking in the mirror will make it worse, this is fine in principal but is that honest or just a load of utter nonsense?

Im currently on Accutane about day 20 now, seriously dry face apart from you've guessed it my forehead which is still greasy, any advice please?
