Margox - where are those from? lol!
My face ITCHES. Like I've fallen head first into a cluster of stinging nettles, then been bitten by bugs, then been exposed to self tanning products (of which I am actually allergic). Trying to tap the itchy areas instead of scratching. It does noottthhiinnnnggg!
Also I think I randomly have some shallow scarring now. The people I've pointed it out to have called me paranoid. But it's there. I CAN SEE IT.
If your skin itches that bad, look into either candida or demodex mites.

It's from BP. I'm a first weeker.

I ordered MSM lotion from Sunfood by Davind wolfe. I started reading his book and i like it. He talks about raw food, nutrition, etc. I read that aloe vera mixed with parsley juice and spirulina is good for scars. He also said that MSM Lotion used with a vitamin C is good too. So yeah, I ordered the MSM lotion for my scars. I saw it helped some people remove deep scars. Hoping this works 'cause I don't want to do laser treatment
My acne is gone, but I'm feeling a bit self concious about my flaking, cracked skin. Apparently people are polite enough to not point out acne but everybody gets concerned about super dry skin.
Can somebody in favor of BP please reassure me that I'll adjust to it?
Apply a good moisturizer. When I used Bp, my skin used to dry, but when I started applying green tea moisturizer, it helped a lot. I stopped using BP a few months ago which I broke out pretty bad.. but now it is healing. I do have new scars because of that break out ;\. I hope the MSM lotion and aloe vera heal my scars.
Not feeling too hot, ugh. Had a great month skin wise--almost no pimples and if any did crop up they were small and gone within a day or two.
2 days ago a pimple suddenly started forming during the day....it was small at first then gradually got bigger. It wasn't really 'big' by any means just a moderate pimple, but smack dab in the middle of my cheek so it was more noticeable. Last night I held a hot wash cloth on it and noticed a 'head' forming so I was really happy, thinking I could pop it the next day. Went to sleep, woke up this morning and the 'head' is still there, although small. I tried to pop it with tissue paper and cotton swabs unsuccessfully. It started bleeding a bit and oozing a little bit of clear liquid, but no pus. Went back to sleep, woke up again and there's a big circle of irritated, red skin surrounding the pimple. It looks SO awful. The actual pimple has gotten smaller and flatter, which I find weird, but there's still a bump there. It looks so bad though! I feel myself reverted back to how I felt at the beginning of this year...anxious that it won't heal, anxious that it'll heal badly, etc. Logic says it should be fine, at least it'll improve within the next few days, but I just feel so angry at myself. And furthermore, I didn't even really pick at the pimple and it still turned so red and irritated. Wtf? I'm just so sick of acne and all that it causes. I've had such a great, stress free month not having any 'wounds' on my face, and now I have this big one. But I guess I just need to suck it up, put on some concealer and face the world until it heals. I know it'll heal, it'll just take a few days.
My skin is not too bad right now. However, I feel in a kind of limbo as I am waiting to commence CBT. Really want to get started as I want to rid myself of my obsession with my skin, appearance and learn how to challenge the negative thoughts that I still have from time to time. Could be a few months yet though!
stillll not feeling too good. Stayed in my room all day today under the pretense that I'm 'sleepy'. I know my roommates are probably like wtf, but at least they're my good friends so they understand. I just tried popping the pimple again since its 'head' looks bigger now, and it did pop successfully. Now, though, I'm so frustrated - if I had just waited until tonight it would've popped so much more easily and I wouldn't have this big circle of red, irritated skin around it. I tried putting cover up on it and thankfully it does a good job of hiding the redness. I'm just really, really hoping it looks better by tomorrow, or at least better by the time break gets here. I'm feeling very frustrated that I have this wound on my face again after having such a great, stress free month, but I'm trying to not let it get to me. It'll heal, just gotta give it time, and I still need to focus on what's important.
. However, come monday i will have to reenter my life which i would choose living in the 9th circle of hell over. I ordered MSM lotion from Sunfood by Davind wolfe.

Cheers for the advice. I was slathering moisturiser on and it wasn't working - then this morning all my skin turned from feeling like a taut layer of film to flaking everywhere. I used a soft face exfoliation brush and the flakes came off. When I put the moisturiser on afterwards it started working right away.
I currently have no spots and very little flakes on my skin. If the redness would go away now it'd be perfect (although thanks to the help of an over night Vaseline mask it wasn't as red this morning as it usually is).
Okay, I'm actually feeling more relieved now. The red circle has now turned a brownish color and is very dry--it's clearly dead skin or a very thin scab-like thing. I'm feeling relieved cause I know now healthy skin is healing beneath it and this will probably just need a few days until it peels off on its own. The only thing that sucks is that since it is so dry, it'll be hard trying to cover it with makeup. And it's right in the middle of my cheek. But I plan on spending most of the day in the library studying anyway, so I won't be doing anything very social.
Soooo, yes. Good news. Just need to wait this out and it'll be gone within a week at most.
I made a thread about this but I just need to vent again. I really just feel like the world's biggest idiot right now. I've caused a bunch of accidental 'injuries' to my face when trying to make things better, and thankfully, they have always healed very well. And now even after learning the consequences of trying to 'step in', I've caused ANOTHER mark to my face--and it's pretty big. All because I tried to pop a moderately sized pimple too early. The dry, scabby like skin sloughed off after my shower today, but left a bright pink/red mark in its wake. The skin feels fine, totally normal, and with makeup on, you can't see the spot at all. However just knowing that this big bright pink mark is beneath my makeup makes me feel like a phony. If anyone saw me without makeup on they'd either think I had a scratch on my face or that I got the world's biggest pimple. I made things so much worse, completely on accident. I don't even pick my face very often!
I'm just so fed up right now. Now I have to wait God knows how long for this to fade, and I'm going to constantly be anxious as to whether or not my makeup is coming off of it. Who knows when it will fade. I'm going on Thanksgiving break in a few days and now my break is probably going to be full of crying sessions and breakdowns in front of my parents. I'm honestly getting sick of this kind of life. I'm so sick of constantly feeling self conscious as to what's on my face. I'm so sick of dealing with bumps and pustules and whiteheads. I'm so sick of no one else understanding because they've never had big scabs on their face or huge pus filled pimples. It's crazy how much can change in a span of a few days. Just last Wednesday I was thinking how good my skin has been looking lately, and then this happens. Brand new huge pink mark right in the middle of my cheek. I just don't know what to do, how to handle this, or ANYTHING. I'm so hopelessly lost and depressed. I just pray to God that this improves soon.
I NO LONGER CARE ABOUT ACNE. ................because something worse happened today...... I went to see my doctor, about acne as usual, and I was asking some questions. Then she stopped, looked at my hair and said something I always dreaded ........I'm going bald.
....I'm going BALD AT FUCKING 16 YEARS OLD! 16 YEARS OLD! !!! I JUST CRYED LIKE A FUCKING BABY...... I had this big speech that i was going to type in.... I'm too depressed to even type that much......idk what to say...... this is the final blow, the last straw, my last hope......I can't even speak..........say goodbye to any chance of a social life I had...... especially any girlfriend I might have had In The future ..............I don't know anymore ....I just don't know.....please kill me
feeling pretty horrible, my acne is getting worse and i can't stop panicking. i really dislike this. my jaw is just going blah! atleast it's not on my cheeks, but i don't know what's worse. it just hurts so bad and i can feel it on my face.
Aw, so sorry! I know, they can be painful when you move your mouth. I hope it calms down soon because you're a good-looking girl!
