well i feel like total shit but i think that mainly is becuz i have a cold lol...

But like this morning i had to do my makeup and i had the flakeys and i tried to get rid of them by rubbing them off really hard but that just made my skin worse and irritated it so im pretty sure that by tomorrow i will have fcked up skin lol:)

but yeah i feel bad about it ecspecially since i have a date on saturday!

well whatever im just gonna hope for the best and ofcourse expect the worst lol:)

My chin has broken out due to that time of the month. My skin was looking so good a clear right before this, and I hate it now. In one day it went from like..one active to a bajillion. XD Blaagh. Hopefully it'll be cleared up again in a week for my Spring Break. I'd hate to look crappy for that..

I feel your pain i fckn hate it when i break out on my period and you know what i hate worse when i break out when im not even on my period....well i have my period coming up in like 1 week and i am dreading it

My face hurts.

This is by far the worst my face has ever looked. Discouraging.

Starting a whole new regimen today. Retin-A, Doxycycline, Benzaclin & Cetaphil.

i i told my family that i cant take this anymore i have to do something NOW

not very well, destroyed one cist on my left cheek, and there are few bumps, probably some retarded acne that are waiting to f... me up

I feel ok I guess exept for the 3 bigish red bumps all near my nose, I feel that my face has gotten alot better since Ive been caring for it the best I can. Its hard work trying to keep calm and relaxed aswell, I useualy get spots when I stress out and they are the big red ones that hurt when I touch them and some spots randomly appear from nothing no stress or anything like that guess my hormones are still healing.

The Regimen is keeping me clear - so I'm feeling pretty good about my skin at the moment - smooth and clear.

Thanks Dan,

i i told my family that i cant take this anymore i have to do something NOW

What did they say?

i quit...im not doing anything anymore, its already ruined my life, im just gonna let it do wutever more it wants and become a complete hermit

Ive got terrible Back acne at the moment, have no idea why, and im breaking out on my face worse than usual. I have been drinking a lot of alchohol and eating lots of junk food and i think thats the reason why....

My acne is worse lately bcause I've been really stressing out lately... Mainly over feeling inferior to everyone else and thinking that I'm never even going to have any friends in my life, let alone anything more. I wasn't going to post here anymore because I felt like everyone disliked me for some reason, but this board really is my only social outlet. Anyway, just had to get that off my chest.

How do I add a new topic?? I can't find anything anywhere giving me the option on any of the catagories?

that i need to take another course of accutane it was the only thing thats keep me clear.

it was raining all day, i went to my favourtie spot deep in a nearby park and read a book for about 4 hours straight, it was nice to get lost in it and not think about anything else, i love this time of year when the rains are turning everything green and therer's little buds on the trees...

Its the worst its been in a long time! 3 Angry inflammed nodules all under right side of lip lined up in a row. Very attractive i might add. Two more on lower part of chin. Left and right side. Have not felt this bad in forever. Feel like a walking disease.

ive broken out very badly from the last week, i was using bio-oil and it made my face break out horribly, i couldnt talk or eat properly because the left side of my lips was almost sealed with a painful zit...thats why i left home in the rain to go away in the first place

I'm sorry you feel so down JayQ, i really hope you feel better soon

I feel pretty hopeless. I mean, I have been battling severe acne for too long. I broke down today really badly. I couldn't stop crying. I didn't smile once today that I can remember. I just woke up dreading getting out of bed and having to put on my mask so that I can look somewhat normal for class. My face hurts bad. It's bumpy and red and discolored and a bit dry too. I am at my wit's end over my skin. I really like this boy and want so badly to be intimate with him, but there's no way in hell that is going to happen when I feel and look like how I do. I hanged out with him yesterday, and it was just really awkward for me to kiss him and such. I wish I could be a flirty teenage girl. Acne is in the way.

Hi,

Feeling terrible - Chicken Pox + Accutane

Im 27 and have been on Roacuttane for 2 months (between 20Mg-60mg for the first month and 80mg for the second month. Im 85kg so I think the 80mg dose is needed for me. I feel I was just starting to see results then I got Chicken Pox... Talk about a bad combination of afflictions. So I had to stop taking the pills for 10-14 days. I have since been back on them for about 2 weeks but its like Im breaking out again. My pores are so open they are merging with each other and creating red/purple marks, they are not like red elavated sores just really open purple pore marks.

Has anyone else had to stop taking Accutane for a short period before starting again?

Does stopping taking it put you right back to where you started from? So effectivley I am going to have to go through all the IB again before it gets better?

Will these pores unmerge with continue accutane treatment?

Thanks

i am numb about the whole thing

as usual

i am itchy as hell

as usual

today is a fine day

terrible............just like every other day. a better question, when is someone feeling good about their acne??

terrible, ive got breakouts on my shoulders right now that are very painful, and im so cranky that im lashing out at everyone...i hate acne

I've had a mingin' reaction to tea tree oil which has made my red marks go bright red, and areas of my skin where i've never really had acne has gone all red and blotchy.. and you know what makes it worse?.. this happened exactly the same the last time i used tea tree oil, but i managed to convince myself that it was reacting with other products.

Nope. I'm just an idiot.

I haven't had a new spot for over 2 months, but in my obsessive, desperation to clear up these remaining red marks, i'm going to end up breaking myself out again - i can just feel it.

less is more.. less is more.. less is more (repeat)

My face feel inflamed and I have allergies so I have to keep blowing my nose and that wipes off some of the make up I plaster on every day so basically I feel the same way every day.Ihave to decide every day if I'm going to let my appearance and emotions control or not.Today I am not! I like who I am,I'm not that bad looking but I'm humbled which makes me flawed but approachable.

went out for lunch with my family. wear my specs, head hung low and walked to destination.

my bro being a kid, asked my mum wad is those red stuffs on my face loudly in the food court.

I got dishearted and feel like crying as people are looking at me.

Suppose to be family bonding time, but i eat my food quickly and asked for house key and leave the scene asap.

cried while looking at my reflection.

cried while banging at the mirror.

but still.. everything will improved tomorrow.

going to say this sentence again tomorrow night

I feel so depress right now. 3 to 4 pimples came out. Another bad day again for me.
