I feel like I should be going out to parties doing stupid young people shit, but instead i´m staying in after school doing homework(barely),eating,sleeping,wasting my youth thanks to  this garbage. I would like to hang out with people i know from school, but whenever they make plans I never ask if I can go because I feel like the'll just make some excuse to not include me. It's probably irrational, but that's what I honestly think.

 

Thinking about it there are a lot of things i've never done in my life like gotten drunk, high, or had sex. I know these aren't exactly great goals to have, like I said stupid shit, but as a teenage guy I feel like i'm missing out on something. I just want to be like all the other carefree dumbasses my age lol. Guess i'm just not that type of person.

I was in class today asking a girl for a textbook. She asks another girl to get the textbook. That bitch says ¨For who, the ugly guy with acne?" I just sat there quietly, how the  fuck do i respond? Had it been a guy i would of say something or maybe even hit him, but it wasn't a guy. I'm only used to this from guys so it surprised me. The worst part was that it really hurt me inside even though i always tell myself not to care, but i guess i'm soft deep down

Damn, sorry to hear the repulsive things your family has done to you because of your skin. If any group of people should be supportive it´s them, but sadly it´s usually always the family doing these things. I´ve tried many things as others here have, but to no avail.

 

To answer your question, i think diet plays some part in acne, but in my honest opinion it is a bit overrated. I say that because diet doesn't cause acne, look at the people around you. I think all acne is hormonal and ,of course, genetics play a role. Eating well is something everyone should do, but that alone won't cure acne, or it hasn't for me at least. You have to tackle the problem from different angles(otc meds,diet,stress control,supplements,etc)

 

Also, he's your husband.  I doubt he'll think you're ugly because of your skin. He's with you for a reason

Fuck man y cant i quit bp? Tried stopping before and i broke the fuck out. Trying again slowly another breakout. Saw Palmetto stopped working. Paleo doesnt do a thing. IDK what to try now

1.Clear skin(never happening btw)

2.Getting my driver's license 

3.Super bowl today lol RAVENS

Read that semen was good for the skin. Yea...

Salicylic acid +toner+BP 5% hurt like hell.

Antibiotics i guess are kinda crazy. Was on them for about a year. They do terrible things inside.

Oddly enough,  i don't feel complete shit about my skin today.  There hasn't even been a huge improvement either. Just concentrating on positivity and a healthy lifestyle has helped me emotionally and physically, plenty of energy, feel stronger. Things looking up *knock on wood*

To actually answer fatalalbert's question,the list of things i would do is too long to type. I think the first would be to go to all the asses who commented on my skin and be like LOOK AT ME NOW!!! That would feel amazing...

I agree with both opinions. Putting life on hold because of some bumps on your face is pretty fucking stupid. However i also think that getting clear would help tremendously with everyday common things like holding a conversation, confidence etc. I would kill to have the feeling of being free from this hell. Working on self-esteem now is the key though and its something i'm working hard at.

1 day away from the 3 month mark and it sucks.  Face is a hot mess - worse than it was 4 weeks ago (mostly due to the breakout from the threading).....sigh.  I feel like this will never end.  I'll give a full update tomorrow

As you like to say, keep your head up girl

Unfortunately many sunscreens seem to break me out no matter

This seems to be a good sunblock on the body. You could try CereVe am moisturizer with 30 spf in it for your face and neck.

"many years from now, we'll be sitting in a chair propped up with pillows in an old people's home, staring out the window and looking back over our life. and we'll think to ourselves, what a waste.. i let those lumps on my face hold me back from living my life the way i wanted to. we'll think of all the opportunities that may have passed us by, all the experiences we could have had, and all the good times we may have missed out on.. not just because we were affected by acne, but because we let acne affect us.

we'll look back and wonder why we let this happen, why did i stay home that night instead of going out, why did i keep to myself at that class instead of making friends, why did i let acne control my life bit by bit.. we'll wish we could go back to being 15, 25, or even 40 years old, because now we'd do it differently, we'd do it better.

we'll think that if only we knew back then what we know now, we wouldnt have sat back and let things unfold the way they have. we'll realise that in the grand scheme of things acne is trivial, it's nothing.. we'll realise there are far worse things in this life, we'll realise that it wasnt really such a big deal after all, and that the emotional harm we ended up causing ourselves far outweighed any physical harm caused by the acne. and we'll realise that not only did we actually know this all along, but that we also knew what to do about it..

only by then, it will be too late"

I was just looking around old forums and found this post. I think i'm lucky i found it.
I'm only 15 but I've been letting acne dictate my life for the 3 years I've had it, many people i talk to don't seem to care about my skin so why am i so shy and scared around some of them?

I just read your whole log right now and i just have to say AMAZING IMPROVEMENT!!
You must be eager to finish the course, huh?

BP may cause an initial breakout for most people.
Just remember to start slowly and gradually increase amount and MOISTURIZE!!!

I honestly believe i do more harm stressing over the food i eat than actually eating it lol
