Do you get new spots everyday?

Do you guys get new spots everyday?

Sometimes I'd look in the mirror in the morning and I wouldn't have any spots. Then, I'd look in it a good few hours later and I'd have some new pustules. Anyone else experience this?

I can't keep away from the mirror

So today I decided that I'd moisturise. Now, I don't know about you guys, but when I put on moisturiser my skin kind of looks worse for some reason. Not sure if anyone else gets this or if it's just me. Anyway, I couldn't stop looking in the mirror this afternoon!! I started to work at my face and I now have a few new red areas from my incessant picking. In the finish up I had to actually take the mirror out of my bedroom to stop me from looking in it. I hate days like these and I seriously wish I had some other obsessive and self destructive behaviour that I indulged in. I sort of look at this like self harm. I make my face look red and give myself spots then I'm miserable and I hate feeling like that, but yet I just can't help picking!!!!!

When to moisturise?

OK I have a question about moisturiser.

If I'm using Skinoren in the morning should I apply moisturiser then or should I use it at night if I'm using Differin?

Thanks!!!

Least Irritating Topical Retinoid?

Hey guys,

I was thinking about using Skinoren during the day and a topical retinoid at night, which I'm going to ask my GP for.

What is the general opinion here on which is the least irritating? I have VERY sensitive skin. I cannot tolerate BP at all as it gives me red itchy patches on my lower face.

Also, which is the most effective retinoid?


Thanks!

The way it is with me

Hey guys,

Ok so when I say breakout it's not quite as bad as some other people's acne and I appreciate this. But it's happening to me so it feels pretty bad.

Anway, I took this week off work especially as I have stuff to do and I wanted to go out with some people I used to work with. Now I've had a breakout and I've just cancelled the two social arrangements that I'd made. This sucks, the rare occasion I was going to socialise I can't because my skin is bad and I just don't have the confidence to do it!

Anyone here ever cancelled social things and made stupid excuses, like you're not feeling very well? This is why I don't have a girlfriend! She'd be wanting to go out somewhere but I'd be having a bad time with my skin and wouldn't want to. She'd then probably get all pissed at me not wanting to go out with her and dump me!!!!
