Today is the first day that I just broke down and I haven't cried in a while. My acne isn't SEVERE but we all know it still sucks to not be comfortable in your own skin and have to look at it everyday. 
I have a bunch of new pimples showing up on my cheeks for some reason??
I am embarrassed to go out and feeling depressed. I hate it when my mum & my cousins stare at my acne and I don't like the way they say about what went wrong on my face then I feel more insecure instead of comforting me. My face is improving little by little but my self-esteem does not.
As for today i feel really depressed. Making the wrong move of applying grapeseed oil to my face and ended with comedonal acne. Been crying a lot even though i know it is mild. But it's different when you made the wrong decision of products to use. I have whiteheads and blackheads all over my face. After years of not having this issue it came back just because of gso. I feel like i dont want to do anything. Ive been obsessed with my face and don't know what to do with my face. I have used many products but they seem not to work. I just went backnto using my old soap which solved my problem years ago. But now i dont know even uncertain if it will work. I felt bad making the wrong choice of using gso. Huhuhu
I just want normal skin that is clear and free of blemishes. I've been on isotretinoin for about 24 weeks and it has stopped my acne, but the damage has been done. My skin just looks dull and blemished, it doesn't look right. Other guys my age have clear skin that just looks "normal". I don't know how else to describe it. When will it be my turn? I am sick of wasting time and effort on my skin. I've been self concious about my skin from 11 years of age and I need a fucking break.
I has a severe panic attack.
got a very itchy spot past night ok my collarbone. Woke up at 8am this morning because of the unbearable itchyness. Look in the mirror and I have a huge rash from my collabone up to my jawline...
This is the third time in two months i've had some kind of rash appear (the first two appearing behind my ears). I'm taking antihistamines but they don't seek to help... But surely this is an allergy to something? But nothing touches these areas! Clothes maybe? It's unbearable.. One thing after another it never ends
Strange enough I'm feeling pretty good even tho Yasmin breaks me out like crazy. I'm so positive because if it will stop breaking me out in 3-4 months I'll have for the first time clear skin during the summervacation! And if it's not gone I hope I still feel as comfortable as I do now. Yay
@jasminevtPlease dont give up. Ive been using birth control (Junel) clindamycin and tretinoin. Its been working out pretty well. I got really upset in the beginning because my skin got really dry. I felt so old and ugly. I was glad when my skin started looking oily again lol. When I looked at my skin I see overall that its improving. Heck it even looks clear from far away or less than harsh lighting. Before even in the lowest lighting it looked horrible.
well lets see for about 2 years of my life from 7-9 I've had to deal with these upper lip acne dark marks. But recently within the past 5 months it was beginning to clear up. For the first time in 2 years i could look in the mirror and not feel like there was so pedphile staring back at me. But in the last 3 days all that hardwork of eating clean and trying to keep my face clean went to heck bc i broke out. 5 months of hard work..... and i still end up looking the same..... words do not describe how frustrated i am. words do not describe how done i am.
The frustration when progress is not linear is aggravating. Im coming up on 6 months on spiro (1 months @ 50 mg 4 months @ 100mg) and i'm still breaking out very often. Some days are better than others but there is always some blemishes on my skin. The days before, during and after my period are the worse. And as fate would have it, i am smack dab in the middle of a nasty breakout and i am day 2 into my period. How do people deal with the up and down of acne treatment? Emotionally, i am dealing with it much better but in all honesty my nerves are frayed. The day to day of not knowing what to expect of my face is ___________ (fill in the blank).
I wish for the days when i first took accutane and i was crysatl clear.
I feel like shit cause.... My face is so red, I got 4 new pimples on my cheeks and I woke up to see my right cheek has dried blood (have the habit of touching and maybe scratching my face when I sleep) :(( I just wanna skip college today but I know I can't
Ughh life sucks or my acne sucks
Wouldn't you know it...just my luck!
I have been clear for a while now and now that I am attending my brother's wedding in less than two weeks I have a mini breakout of three really red cystic spots by my chin. Not really something I should complain about but what timing right? Hmp!
It's unreal to know there's so many of us suffering and when I'm out and about I feel like the only person plagued with acne. Everyone else has perfect skin and then there's me. I have tried to be positive and I've tried to not obsess about it. But the truth is I never stop thinking why does it have to keep happening and keep scarring. Like alot of you have said my social life is practically gone. Confidence and self esteem are at an all time low. The constant acne breakouts has ruined my life. But I want to claim it back im 25 these should be the best years of my life instead of hiding away! Sorry for the rant but the offload is needed
Not good... Last week I was so happy with my face... I even rang my mum and told her...
Over the past two days I have come up in 7 spots. 4 around my chin/lips and 3 on my left cheek (an area that NEVER gets acne)
And just to make matters worse... In the past 6-7 hours or so an under-the-skin cyst has spawned on my right nostril... it has swollen it and is painful/making it hard to breathe...what did I do to deserve this? I'd honestly rather die than live my life in this constant state of anxiety/depression/fear and pain.

I know how you are feeling.... Last week my skin was crystal clear (not a zit in site). This week I have gotten 4 new pimples including what looks like a cyst in the making on my chin. I never get zits on my chin and this is turning into a cyst. I am so depressed and on top of it I am sick but have to go on a work trip for the next 4 days. I am so embarrassed about my skin that I just want to crawl in a hole and die. This is like my worst nightmare coming true.
I was feeling good until a so called friend mind you she is in her 40s, tried to be a smart ass. I was actually talking about my twists in my hair and how I hate them. She goes "What are you talking about ..pimples ? You mean your best friends ?" I told I dont have any pimples..but I was so pissed that she even went there because she struggles with her skin also and she knows Im now under doctor's care.
@Nansunnan -I remember in High School some chick that worked with me was like "You got AIDS on your face ?"
I saw my dermatologist a couple days ago and she thought my skin looked a lot better, and I hadn't had a breakout in a few days so I got really excited and happy thinking that I had finally turned a corner and was on my way to clear skin...and of course I got hit with a new breakout today. 5 new zits, just like that. Sigh. I don't know why I even get my hopes up anymore. I guess my skin is still doing better overall but consistently clear skin seems so completely out of reach for me. I'm just so sick of never being able to relax and actually make plans to go out and socialize because it's impossible to predict how my skin is going to look.
