kinda sucky.... especially when you see old photos of yourself when your skin was once mostly clear & scar free.... and it was only a few months ago!!!! grrrrrrr.

 

note to self: do not look at old photos.

 

 

Amen :/ I have some photos where I had completely clear skin. Gah.

 

Oh well, on the road to recovery!

LOL Bunny, you never cease to make me laugh.

 

Acne has been getting better! I just hate though how my family continues to buy pizza, hamburgers, and all these other foods that I told them I can't eat, and they try to make me eat it :/

These horrible red marks that have been covering my face for quite a while are almost finally gone. They are 80% better than they were 3 months ago. These results are astonishing and I'm so happy that I'm finally over this problem that has turned me into a depressed, anti-social, wreck.

 

I never thought I'd ever recover from this, ever!

 

Even my acne (Which I've never had much of) has died down a lot.

 

Once I feel the time is right, I'll take pictures of how my face looks now and attempt to find some before pictures (If I can) to compare the two.

Well, I woke up feeling horrible as usual, went for my door to head to the bathroom, doesn't help that I have a full length mirror on the back of my room's door! Saw the acne, felt depressed, but then had a HUGE venting session, came up with ways to make myself and my acne better, and now I couldn't be happier! Time to conquer this damn acne since it's overtaken so much of my life already.

Tell me the secret! What have you done for your marks!

 

I've been applying Apple Cider Vinegar and Cetaphil moisturizer to my face, two times a day.

 

I've also been taking several vitamins/supplements (Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, and an Apple Cider Vinegar tablet).

 

In addition to those things, I also use a red light therapy device that I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I try to use it three times a day on all of my marks.

 

Drinking a lot of water seems to help too, as does applying globs of moisturizer onto fresh red marks, over and over throughout the day.

 

Good luck!

Anxious but clear! I'll be off accutane 3 weeks on Saturday and I haven't had a zit yet but I'm still freaking out. Once I hit 2 months I think I'll be ok in terms of anxiety if I stay clear but if I don't then I'm going back for another course!!! Why is it that acne still makes me anxious even though its all gone??? Pain!

I'm really tired of the up-down-up-down of the state of my face.

My face still looks better than it did a year ago but my chin is always broken out.

 

I am actually thinking of going back to the derm and asking for Accutane even though I'm scared to death of it.

Feeling depressed mostly, not wanting to do anything that I'm supposed to do (like paying bills) and avoiding eyecontact. I also try to cover up my bold spot in my hair (acne keloidalis) which is taking 90% of my thinking and doing if I'm not alone (aka having class at University).

 

So mostly sad and with a huuuuuggggeeee lack of selfconfidence. :(

Currently feeling even more depressed than yesterday because when combing my hair, I lost an awful lot... and I don't want to get bold :( It really sucks and I checked it today in class where there are about 300 people and not even one of them is bold or has acne, my two problems... it sucks to be the only one :(

On the down side. I hate when my family says to stop thinking about it or "it's not that bad". Well of course its easy for them to say, they don't have to wake up every morning to another zit. Plus, I'm always surrounded by perfect skin people. I hate going to the mall and seeing all the pretty girls, all happy. Is it just me....It took a picture of my acne w/ my new phone and it seems worse in the pic then in reall life. I'm starting to fear that's what I really look like, but I'm in denial.!!! Just so bummed out!! :(

I'm sorry. I know the feeling.

At least you have a place to express how you're feeling. Are you on a regimen?

I know I know what you mean!

I often wonder how other people see me, cos I see myself a certain way [yes with acne] but when I take photos I look like a different person, [still with acne but different] so I often wonder how I look like to other people.

 

Yes my mom tells me it's not that bad, blah blah. When I first went to the derm, I told my mom that she may suggest Accutane to cure it and my mom said, WHAT?! DO THAT RIGHT AWAY THEN IF IT'LL CURE IT... I told her there are scary side effects and she didn't even care. no one gets acne except other people with acne or who had it.

Not good- a red lump on the side of the adam's apple appeared a day or two ago.

 

I read it can remain there a few weeks or even months.

 

No social activities til it is gone.

 

Oh, I'm new here.
