Althrough my acne is still present and its not mild yet... its still getting milder and milder after each facial and althrough I'll keep gettig zits between each facial, they are nothing for me to wory about. I have acne under control.

I had a huge confidence boost yestersday when looking at the mirror even though I had an acne-flare up and took some pics. I have all the confidence to take on the world, I consider myself good looking, and also I look back and look at the only good thing acne did to me ... humbled me.

I'm happy that all the money, hard work, pain, time and dedication from facials have finally paid off ... and I'm also happy that while facials help my face, benzamycin is working great on my body acne.

with confidence and a good look (maybe just because of confidence), I realized that girls are getting more and more interested in me. I also find myself more sociable and I'll repair what was broken in my social life and I'll reform it anyway I can.

I wish you all for the time you could feel like I am now, and I'll stay here and be helpful in anyway I can to ensure that.

I thank you all for your kindness and your help on the times I felt sad, insecure, and angry. I thank all for helpful advices and sweet words. I wish I have found this site earlier in 2003 or early-mid 2004, where my acne was actually severe and getting worse. Besides my mother and a friend, you are the only people I could talk about acne, my pains, my thoughts, my anger and insecurities. I thank you all for defending this site from people giving hostile and/or not constructive comments. I thank moderators for keeping this site friendly for acne sufferers and helping in keeping it this way to attract new one, so they can stay and be supported. I also Thank deeply my parents for giving me the financial support for facials. I also thank my mother for her support on my depressing days.

I love you all. wub.gif

I'm also happy that I have only 1 scar in my entire face ... I'll look flawless by summer.

I got recommended by a derm a special old lady who does these 'facials' (even doctors go to her). you can find them by asking derms, or also beautians can do it which can be found in barbershops.

my kinds of facials are like this:


1_drink a couple of tylenols to reduce the painful 70-minute nightmare prior to it
2_meet the lady, pay 50 bucks, lie down, get put a bunch of creams and get exposed to steam for 30 minutes
3_start poppin' ... extracting successfully whiteheads with a needle and fingers and also with care, sucessfully extracting cysts and even nodules (oohhhh the pain!) without leaving a scar (my only scar was before getting facials). popping usually lasts for 50-80 minutes, she stops once I feel dizzy and sweating because of pain and pressure.
4_she puts a mask on me and leaves it for 15-25 minutes. meanwhile I drink orange juice and sit up and recover from dizziness
5_she removes the mask
6 (optional for girls) _ wear make-up since the skin will look reddish and all scarred for 3-5 days
7_ use hydrocortizone and neosporin twice a day for 3 days and stop using topicals ... this is to help the skin look better and recover fast and remove the temporary scars as soon as possible
8_ resume BP, be cystless for a week, then expect it to come back a bit and go to another facial ... keep doing it , you'll have less cysts after each, and slowly cure it.

My acne was very severe and I had THOUSANDS of whiteheads (you could not see my skin, it was all whiteheads) , and severe cystic acne which lead me to no GFs, so don't expect to have so many facials as I did (around 15 in a period of 7 months and I expect to get around 5 more till june and also get monthly facials to control)

Its very important that you take a good topical and an antibiotic to fight it easier but never NEVER DO FACIALS WHEN TAKING ACCUTANE

Hope that helped.

Thanks, you too are very nice.

I highly doubt that I will leave acne.org soon. Expect me to hit the 1000 post mark and probably 2000

C'mon ... my slang is nice wink.gif I nigga love you sweet funky homies. lol.gif

If you need anything PM me ... I'll be sure to respond. I wish you the best of fortune for you, and accutane. and remember, as cliched as it sounds ... confidence is very important and try to cope the best way you can to live the best life possible.

not my song ... but read the lyrics. its from a 23 minute long song that I love from YES (Gates of delirium)

its about war, standing up for something, courage, and a good result. you can interpret it as a war against acne. the 'soon' section is beautiful.




La la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la.

Stand and fight we do consider
Reminded of an inner pact between us
That’s seen as we go
And ride there
In motion
To fields in debts of honour defending

Stand the marchers soaring talons
Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom
Fighting we know,
Destroy oppression
The point to reaction
As leaders look to you attacking

Choose and renounce throwing chains to the floor
Kill or be killing faster sins correct the flow
Casting giant shadows off vast
Penetrating force
To alter via the war that seen
As frictions spans the spirits’ wrath ascending to redeem

Wars that shout in screams of anguish
Power spent passion bespoils our soul receiver
Surely we know.
In glory we rise to offer,
Create our freedom, a word, we utter a word.

Words cause our banner, victorious our day
Will silence be promised as violence display
The curse increased we fight the pow’r and live by it by day
Our gods awake in thunderous roars and guide
The leader’s hands in paths of glory to the cause

Listen should we fight forever
Knowing as we do know
Fear destroys?
Listen should we leave our children?
Listen our lives stare in silence
Help us now

Listen your friends have been broken
They tell us of your poison
Now we know
Kill them give them as they give us
Slay them burn their children’s laughter
On to hell

The fist will run
Grasp metal to gun
The spirit sings in crashing tones we gain the battle drum
Our cries will shrill the air will moan and crash into the dawn
The pen won’t stay the demon’s wings, the hour approaches
Pounding out the devil’s sermon

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
