Okay, acne makes no sense. Neither of my parents had it. As far as I am aware, there is no family history of it. My siblings (all older) never had anything more than minor breakouts, a couple pimples here and there. Why do I have it so bad?
I never even had it bad until my sophomore year of high school. All through middle school, when everyone was breaking out, I had no troubles. Then I just got it, and I still have it, and I hate it. Weird thing about my acne is that it's like all just white heads, and all around my mouth. I never got the severe types. But it's pervasive.
I've been on the regimen on and off, but I stuck to it really closely last summer and got virtually 100% clear. Then I went to college. A couple days after I got here, I just stopped doing it because I got tired of making time for it and I didn't want other people to think I was obsessed with my looks (spending so much time in front of the mirror). I also figured, hey maybe my skin will stay clear because I have no family history of acne.
Nope. It's been a few weeks now and I'm breaking out worse than ever. I hate my skin, I hate myself, I hate my society that says I have to be perfect in every way. Now I have to walk around crowds of people every day with all This on my face. Not to mention that I have this huge presentation tomorrow. I want to curl up into a ball and disappear.
Why do I have acne? Why does the regimen have to be 3 steps instead of 1 or 2 easy ones? How am I going to get through this?
genes are not just past down solely from your parents
i know you said no family history, but i bet grandparents or great grandparents or someone had it
also sometimes we just get screwed over
but really, if you found something that works like you said the regime, you should just do it
im sure you'd rather clear skin and people thinking you're vain, than having tones of pimples
and for those people that think you're vain, just explain your skin problem

Acne is NOT genetic..it can happen to anybody, at any age. There are several reasons for acne like Hormonal Changes, indigestion, blood sugar, stress, tension etc..
It's not necessarily genetic, but it would be idiotic to insist that someone would have severe acne when their whole bloodline has never experienced it before.
Dude, get back on the Regimen. You said you were clear while on it, so it apparently was working well for you.
I know it's frustrating and time consuming, but it's so much better than dealing with the hassle of daily breakouts and the insecurity that comes with them.
Sometimes we never know why we get acne, it just happens. Sometimes there is a familial component, sometimes there isn't. But it can be managed.

Wow, thanks for sharing your experienced that was helpful. Yeah, it's true sometimes maskcan cause skin irritation and can causepimples.
