Wow. I am very sorry to hear that. Look, if she left you, then she didn't care about you which she's bad and evil. She don't deserve you. Did you change diet or something? It is weird that you suddently broke out with cyctic acne. Hang in there and try not to pop your acne 'cause that will lead to scars. I am sure you'll have clear skin soon.. just don't stress too much.. try not to think about acne and try eating healthier.

hey there

you should be happy because she left you, realize she was never for you. The love of your life will accept you the way you are. Why would you love someone who breaks out with you when you start getting acne?

btw, its weird as eddie said to start breaking out in cystic acne, has something changed? how old are you?

What does your dermatologist say about this? I assume you're going to a dermatologist for the accutane. The accutane should work. It may just be pushing everything out at once. This will pass. I've done it twice.

I agree with above. Your girlfriend is not worthy of you!!! Lucky for you her true colors were revealed during this crisis before you invested more time in her. Believe me...a good woman would never treat her man that way. A good woman is nurturing and would help you find a way to deal with this. Don't let one woman or snide remarks get to you! Think about how you would treat others and look for people like that. They are out there and they will be true friends.

Everyone in life has crisis and this is when we can judge who is good for us or not. Go for good people and don't blame yourself when others fall short. They are shallow or ignorant.

Will be thinking of you and hope this time passes quickly!

Well, best of luck figuring out what triggers the acne and here's hoping you can get it under control.

As for the girlfriend situation, the others are right - if she's not the type of person to stick with you through the bad times then she doesn't deserve to be with you through the good times.

that girl was not cool for you.you deserve better.Its been 6 months having bad acne.I dont know what is going on either.Im 36 years old.PaulH how old are you?

[HapaMommy]

Ahhh, hang in there. You're young and any girl leaving you over acne is not worth having. I've been with my husband since we were 19. He's been there with me through mild to moderate acne and more recently pityrosporum folliculitis. He loved me when I was 60 pounds heavier when I was pregnant. Love has to extend beyond looks. You need someone to be supportive when you are going through this.

About your skin I would talk to your derm about how long it should take to see the effects of your meds. Hopefully, you might jet be going through a purge as your skin acclimates to the meds. I've heard great things about Accutane (aside from the side effects). Good luck!

[callendula]

I agree! Totally crappy she left BUT her loss! You need someone who will see YOU, not some external factor. My husband has been so kind and sweet and NEVER says one thing about my face, although I feel awfully ugly sometimes. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, but that is just my pity party. Acne does get depressing. I know! It doesn't help when you have no support, so I am praying you find that. For me, it really lifts me up when I know I have someone who loves me for me, despite my insecurities and imperfections (both real and imagined lol). *hugs* I can't give any advice on the meds as I have never tried any but OTC, but maybe it is the course of the meds? Talk to you derm to verify and let him/her know what is going on. They can't help if they don't know about it.

[TheSavyBanana]

A girl left you beacuse your skin changed? Wow, she is a cold-hearted woman. You deserve much better and I'm sure you're an amazing guy. Keep your spirits up, Accutane is going to clear you right up!

[mm..Brian..]

IF she left you over the acne, then it goes to show what a shallow, heartless b*tch she is, I'm sorry but it's true. And a person like that ain't worth loving or hurting over.

Don't hate your life. embrace it. Remember life is made up of so many wonderful experiences, don't let your skin ruin it for you! We only have one life, let's enjoy it no matter what obstacles get in our way. Acne is temporary, don't let something temporary and superficial ruin your life

If there's one saying I abide by, it's "don't rely on people for your happiness." People come and go, my friend, it's a fact of life. You'll learn that through experience because I assure you, this isn't the last time you'll have your heart broken. As for your former girlfriend, farewell and good riddance. Seriously, there's really no loss from your breaking up with her. She has a lot to learn if her only care in the world is how her boyfriend looks, as if that's the end all be all in a relationship.

And hey, you're on Accutane. I finished Accutane about five years ago and man did it clear me up. You'll be glad you went on it, beliiiieeeve me.
