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
Are you absolutely sure? What would the cause be?
To me its really sad when people say they want to die or they hate their lifes just because they have acne 
.
They don't realize that alot of people don't care and are not so judgmental like they think. I mean and if they are so what??? If they say something about it of if they stare, so??
Stay positive 
Xoxo

My skin makes me feel like shit right now. Had a month where I was completely clear, NOT EVEN ONE PIMPLE, felt so good an confident and now I'm the lowest Ive ever been.
Was so happy until last tuesday I started to breakout again, the worst thing is its only on my forehead nowhere else. Could anyone help me thats had something similair? I only get pimples or cytsic under the skin acne on my forehead, the rest of my face is totally clear.
I am a 18 year old male, with short hair so no hair on my forehead, I exercise regualary, drink 2l+ of water a day and eat pretty healthy for someone of my age.
The problem is I only get them on my forehead, like right now Im sitting here and have about 4 LARGE cytsic type pimples on my forehead and arounf 10 smaller ones that arnt as noticeable and are more like bumps than spots, probably one tiny spot on my right cheek and my left is completely clear as well as my chin. It kills me becuase I feel like absoloute shit and havent been out all week due to my forehead and it gets me seriously down. Like I cant even face my family members thats how ugly I feel
I used to take a multivitamin but stopped and thats when my acne seemed to stop for a month, but now I've broke out again for no apparent reason. I change mypillow cover and bed sheets a few times a week also. I just dont know what to do anymore as the spots look so bad all in one place on my face and especially as Ive been clear for some time now, it just feels like I've gone back to stage one
Ive got university tomorrow as well after a week break, and thinking of skipping becuase it looks so awful ARGHHHH fml.
Well, it seems like the mark has maybe faded slightly since yesterday, which is good. I do feel like I should be grateful that this is only one mark (although it's big/moderately sized) and not a ton. I dealt with this last year--bright red marks all over BOTH my cheeks, which eventually faded to pink, then to light brown, and finally faded away. That all happened in a span of about 6 months, with visible fading happening after about 2 or 3 months. If I can just get through the hardest part, which is now, when the mark is brightest--it'll only go up from here. Thankfully it is easily covered with makeup, and no one would ever be able to tell it was there. I just need to do what I did last year, put on some makeup and go out into the world with confidence. With each passing day it'll get better and better. Eventually there will be no remnants of it at all. I just need to keep remembering that. It sucks that I feel like I've backtracked, but it's unreasonable to think I'd never get another mark again. I got through this last year with even MORE marks on my cheeks, I can get through this now. And with the rate my past marks seem to be fading with my Clarisonic, who knows? This might fade even faster. I just need to stay positive. There's no use in regretting because it's already done. It could've been a lot worse.
Back on here after a couple weeks of having pretty much perfect skin. The other day at work, I noticed a purplish flat bump on my cheek. I immediately freaked out. It's now day 3, and its big, red, and it hurts. Its an under the skin pimple/cyst. It's the first one in my entire life that I have ever had. So it's obviously super noticeable, because the rest of skin is virtually clear. It's amazing how this has completely crushed me, mentally. The only thing that is helping me is a girl, my sister, who had perfect flawless baby skin, and she told me she's had these cystic pimples before on her forehead and chin, and she just goes about her day and laughs it off. She calls it a Zelda. Hah. I've been using a neosporin ointment, but tonight after reading numerous things about tea tree oil drying out these things, I applied it. Well see what happens. It's not something that can be popped. It has no head. It's just super red and hard.
I know this is caused by stress, and I can thank for lame ass aunt for that. She's kicking me out of her apartment because she made some stupid promise to my cousin, her son, that he could have his room to himself when he gets home from college winter break. It's a long story, but this lady has 0 logic, and is fucked up in the head. So I can thank her for this.
The good news is, is that I'm finally getting my own apartment. My parents are gonna help me out because they know how expensive it is here in NYC ($900 for a studio) which is just one big room with a kitchen and a bathroom. Not even considered a 1 bedroom. So that's a big thing that's keeping me going, and not letting something like this control me, which it has the last few days.
.....soooooo..... had an examination at a district hospital for training near my place yesterday.... and i was like WTF? the professional nurses licensing exam is easier even (yep i am a nurse) ..... soooo i think i might FLOOP the Exam Big Time!..... but my interview is still on tomorrow......
i hope i get in.... ....also waiting for the rest of the places i applied to call me.....
All ok with me, except it is currently 4:50 in the morning UK time, just woken up and can`t get back to sleep!

Murph, what you have said in the last paragraph is great - that is totally the attitude you need. Sounds as though you have loads of good stuff going on right now so keep your chin up mate.
still breaking out like a mofo. I have to go into my work today to give some paper work and I am so ashamed. I've been clear the whole time I was working there, and I'm gonna come in and it's gonna be like "wow, college is really stressing you out I see". I've got so many places I need and want to go to, but I don't think I want to have everyone staring and laughing at me. Hmm, but I shouldn't let acne and my face dictate my life..
I started applying MSM lotion and hopefully it doesn't break me out. I am treating my acne scars, so I've been applying aloe vera for a while and now decided to try MSM lotion. Let's hope my scars minimize! As of my skin, it is very smooth. I don't have any active pimples, but I am getting just a few small zits, nothing to be worried about!

Aw!! you're still beautiful and that's all it matters! I am sure they won't care at all. I'm glad you're not letting acne control yourself! Take care! ^^;;

You should wear a hat. I would do that. It might be bad though. Make sure it is loose. This happened to me, but I broke out on cheeks too. I had cysts (very ugly ones) on forehead. Luckily, I had lots of hair to cover them. Meh, they were so ugly.. I remember lots of pus coming out when I popped it by accident. Stay strong!
still breaking out on my lower cheek and jaw, but hopefully they'll dry out and die >. went to my work today and everyone was happy to see me so that made me feel less bad, but then i went to the mall and started crying because of anxiety lol. esp at sephora. boy, i did not wanna know what those ladies were thinking about my foundation and breakout!!
on a side note i am a little nervous though because i am home for the holiday, and it's a change from tap to well water. sometimes that effects my acne. guess i'll have to see how it effects it. sometimes it is good, other times, bad.
hope everyone is doing well =))
Well it's been a while since I've been on here. Most of my dark marks are gone and new ones are quickly fading. I'm ALMOST clear.. I have almost no more clogged pores and about 3 small zits. This is the clearest I've ever been but I went through hell and back to get to where I am now. I think after 8 years of struggling with acne have almost found my "cure". Or maybe it's just my hormones not being all crazy now. Idk. Either way I've been so busy with work.. And school. The holidays are here so hopefully everything goes well. Hopefully everyone is doing well

That's great it works so well for you How long have you used it for / have you noticed any side effects with using it? I used it a few years ago for about 3 or 4 months and, like you said, it was great while I used it but things started to go bad about a month after stopping it. I'm starting to think about going back to it or another medication though...
Extremely depressed! I'm new here. But I have been reading many posts. My main problem at the moment is that I have this deep scar right next to my eyebrow. It's a fresh deep scar. I popped a pimple that I know I shouldn't have and now I'm left with this. To make matters worse I'm leaving this morning on a family vacation to Florida. I'm so embarrassed I don't even want to go. I feel everybody will stare. I fee like just locking myself in the bathroom and never coming out. I'm so depressed I often think of suicide but I don't think I would ever actually do that. I have my kids to think about. I'm embarrassed for my husband to see me when I'm like this I wish I could just run away. help please! I don't know what to do to try and fill in the scar for now?
Noticed over the last week that my emotional state regarding my skin has really deteriorated. I was doing ok - I was somehow still feeling good and smiling even though my skin was pretty bad. But over the last few days especially, my skin is making me feel really down. I feel and look ugly, I can't help but compare myself to others who are so lucky to be beautiful and have nice skin. I know that's not helping things though.
I think part of it has to do with being on holidays at the moment. I don't have anywhere that I HAVE to be like I did when uni was still on. I can get away with staying at home if I want to and not letting people see me - and to be honest, on one hand, I don't mind that. I almost feel like I'm doing people a favour by hiding away so they don't have to see my face and skin. But on the other hand, I still want to be out there and seeing friends and looking for work - I do need a job. So I guess I'll just force myself to do that and hopefully go back to worrying less about my acne and feeling a little better about myself...
My skin hasn't really been improving a lot lately either. And I haven't been able to stop picking completely yet though I'm doing it a lot less than I was when I was stressed with exams. Taking it all just a step at a time.

Hey Lilly, I've been off and on Doxy for maybe 4 years. When I first started it way back when it made me feel really sick but not anymore.
