Not breaking out at the moment, but I have two large spots on my forehead that I popped and now they're peeling and all gross. Urrrrrghhh.

Just breaking out a bit on my left side. It might be due that I changed my regimen though. I sure do hope that my dry skin stops though. I thought I had that fixed.

@acnevme red marks are still better than active pimples, by far. They don't hurt or get whiteheads, etc.

 

@gyro well, who knows what's truly normal. Since I was 13 I've always had at least 1 pimple on my face. I'm 21 now so... I guess it's our 'normal'...sadly.

I'm feeling good :)

I have really noticed, since some of my red marks are fading after MONTHS! ..that I have quite a few indents on my cheeks. It kinda sucks (only because I can REALLY see them at a certain angle 'n stuff) but I like to think of them, so far, as my battle scars, all the stuff I've gone through and have been trying to resolve lately.

 

If I was a guy it would make me look more attractive for sure! haha I'd be rugged 'n 'manly' XD :P

Today, it's decent.

I might have just jinxed that though.

Hopefully, I'll get the go ahead to have accutane in a few days. >_<

 

I'm so broken out that it's not even funny. My right side of my face hurts, and I didn't even change anything. I just woke up, and bam, my face was a mess again. I'm tired of this.

i've always wondered how vampires would react to a drug like accutane.

keep us posted.

I am breaking out EVERYWHERE, including legs and arms, due to a med. The doc's stopped the med due to the risk of SJS. The new med shouldn't cause that risk of SJS. He's only had one other patient with this response to the med and she had to stop it, too.

 

How do I feel about breaking out everywhere in the worst acne I've had in YEARS? Absolutely fine. :P It's far better than the alternative of not treating my condition! AND I'm supremely grateful that the doc's taking good notice of these issues and watching out for worse side effects; SJS would be hell.

 

It doesn't bother me except for the pain of the individual lesions. I'm icing and polysporin-ing them. Otherwise, still going out without makeup, no foundation, don't care who sees me like this. They can kiss my patoot. :D

 

No one treats me any differently either. I actually had two sales clerks today in two different places thank me for being so nice; I guess they'd had bad days so far and were grateful to have a customer who said please and thank you. :lol:

 

So....you, too, can do this. It's not so bad, really. :)

Thanks for your post, Wynne. It made me worry a lot less after I read it.

I have been ok over recent weeks, my acne has died down a lot and some red marks have began to fade.

 

Still get the odd spot though which is annoying, but i'm slowly getting better. I just need patience.... even more patience

These days I base how I feel about it on how it looks with makeup on, so generally right now, it's a "good week". Without? certainly feel kind of bad. August was my best month this year, I dunno what happened.

^^Summer/August was good for me too :)

Now i'm kinda stressed with finals (thus broke out a bit) and this is my first winter on this new regimen, and I blow my nose a lot now cuz of the cold, so my skin is getting dry. That's my biggest complaint right now.

^ that's great!

 

Geeking wow I really do believe that alot of it might have to do with stress, etc. definetly emotions atleast.

 

and for some reason im having a bad day and the next day I wake up feeling great...today i'm listening to music and getting ready to go out and just generally in a good mood. I'm not sure my skin has improved so much, infact it feels worse but my happiness today makes me disregard it completely I suppose!
