Hi there,

Sorry to hear it's still going on for you. At the moment it's pretty much gone. The best it's been in a long long time for me. I remember reading in one of the threads I posted in (might even be this one) that a guy said hydrocortisone cream is the solution.

And stupid fucking me, I actually have a tube of it from a couple years ago when a doctor diagnosed me with mild eczema and acne. What's more, I have a similar but stronger product I believe called eumovate, again which he prescribed for the same reason (one to use in morning, on at night). 

I can probably say with a lot of confidence, this helped. I also like to use cold green tea just on the patch to help soothe it (I read up about this, basically something about red skin, green products counteracts red, and voila)

My acne seems to have calmed down recently a lot, even though I've had a fair few unhealthy weekend and stuff recently (eating rubbish, being in rooms with several smokers etc)

It's funny you mention the hammer and arm baking soda toothpaste. I feel like such a twat for admitting this, but I used to use that on individual spots I got, which were always around my mouth and jaw. I'm guessing I shot myself in the foot there and have no excuses, but it probably caused my problem. 

So that's what I've been doing the last month or so, and I think I could be finally over it. Unless it decides to comeback randomly of course!

Good luck with your problem, hope I helped somewhat.

But if i wanted it to be red and do the 'healing process' I wouldn't have applied it. It made it worse, no two ways about it. 

If tomorrow morning it's like it was before I applied it then I'll agree with you.

But the reaction was not normal. This has happened all so often to me to know when I'm reacting badly, and when something is healing...

Thought I'd put some recent pictures of this problem up. Since early december when this happened, it has never completely gone. It flares up overnight, calms down after a week or so of hibernating and treating it. Give it another week and it's back.

Last thursday, it looked good. Friday morning, this:

I just don't understand. Completely destroyed my life over the last few months. 

 

How do you know such things? Can you read their minds? Even then, who cares that they do that anyway? I think that people talk about me too, but that does not stop me from being outgoing, because they are not avoiding me even when they think negative about me.

 

 

 

.

This is what fucks my confidence up too. People very rarely comment on my face or ask me what's wrong directly to me. But I KNOW that even if they're not saying it, they're definitely thinking it. And even probably talk about it with other people when I'm not with them

It is a problem when large groups of people are avoiding you, because then you are being bullied. That is when you have to get out of there and search for new people.

 

Not many people know this, but I am actually the World's most efficient mind-reader. I could even tell the forum what you're thinking right now, but I won't go into that

 

Anyway, this week I've been feeling good and confident about myself. I'm on what I like to call a peak, but inevitably it will change soon and I'll be on a downer soon, so gonna enjoy it while it lasts

Why does it go down soon?

Why? I think's it's pretty obvious. I've not been able to sustain a period of being confident about my skin for longer than a few weeks in years. If it starts to look better, I don't get my hopes up because I know it'll soon look horrible.

And would you look at that, it's exactly what just happened. I had a good week with not many problems and I felt good. I said this in tuesday. Thursday night I went to bed feeling good, woke up in the morning, the SAME PROBLEM had returned. Big red patch of itchy skin that covers the whole one side of mouth. Appears for absolutely no reason, and I literally look like I had a disease of some sort. In fact I'm starting to think I do actually have something genuinely wrong with me. 

Why so desperate to lose your virginity?

 

When ever you see a young woman or a young man push a pram, do they ever look happy?

 

Now, don't quote me on this, but I think I heard there's something called a contraceptive? Also, there's something else called having common sense!
