I'm trying very, very hard to feel positive.

(One look at my skin in daylight and it's all gone, haha )

sick, disgusted, tired and angry from everything, including fucking acne obviously. bitch just neeed to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

TERRIBLE, I have a big red mark on my nose from removing all the puss from a sub-dermal pimple.

Overall I'm glad I did it since there was a lot of crap stuck in my pores and it was beginning to hurt like hell plus I would have otherwise had to live with this for a LOT longer but I'll be staying in all week until this clears up.

My skin seems a bit dry but nothing too bad and currently the rest of my face is 99% clear (minor imperfections on my neck)

*sigh* How tiresome...you finally seem to have some more control over the redness/dryness and you're clear and suddenly this BS happens

Luckily I know my acne like the back of my hand so it'll be fine by Friday, (I hope I have enough food in the house...arg)

I'll be staying in all week until this clears up.

Big red nose monsters are the worst! I had one a couple of weeks ago and when I crossed my eyes, I could see it on the end of my nose!

I'm past caring these days to be honest. Although I have the odd relapse, I just try and go about my daily routine and carry on as best I can.

Don't let it make you stay home all week, get out there! Wish I could go out in the sunshine, but I'm stuck in the office!

I have been stressed for the past couple days because I went off BP a couple weeks ago and I am starting to see the effects. I have semi-large inflamed pimples on the right cheek nearer the nose and a bunch of little new white/red pimples above my eyebrows because I thought it would be smart to get my eyebrows waxed :/ Also a couple newer ones near my chin, where I never get them anymore X( i thought..

And I thought it would be smart to pick at a deep blackhead Sunday night and its still a large flat scab at the end of my nose, like 2mm around. FML!!!

And my bf is coming over in two hours and I'm all inflamed with this nose scab. We are a new couple but he already says he loves me after this month going out. He has perfect skin!!!! How can he not be a little freaked out or curious enough to stare??

I'm just going to hope for the best and hope his love for me will make him not even really notice. <3

My acne has been mild today

but i want my scars and dark spots to go away!! >.<

Horrible. I've been breaking out like crazy, like never before. I have a bunch of cysts that throb and hurt immensely at my cheek area and jaw line. It's just not fair. These wounds on my face. Last weekend my mom once again made me feel like it was my fault my skin is the way it is. I got angry and left the house to drive back to my apartment. I cried in the car.

Not very good. It's better than when I last posted though... for the moment. It's funny, my acne used to only be on my cheeks, now it's everywhere else. I've cleared up the pimples around my chin (thank god). They've left nasty red marks though. I've semi cleared up the pimples around my cheek bone. I've got one pimple on my nose which is seriously unheard of for me. No matter how oily and irritated my nose looks, it never breaks out. I've also started getting pimples on my forehead.

lawlz so done with this

I'm feeling a little better. When my bf visited I kept it pretty dark with movies and stuff. Lol

I'm seeing him tonight and I just feel so blah but luckily everything is healing a little. Just slow. Why do I heal so slow??? Not fair I say!!

But I'm going to brave it out. Prob not going to go to my last class tho before he comes over so I can try relaxing. I hope this f**ked up scab at the end of my nose heals, he's seriously a great guy cuz I know he notices. How can he not??

I'm just going to be super positive and nice and smile and that should cover up how insecure I am about the nose scab. If anything I can say it's a sun burn because it actually looks like one LOL

The scab on my nose healed completely...unfortunately I still have a sub-dermal pimple on my nose. it's slightly raised and pink/redish hue.

makes me think I didn't get all the crap outta there

I actually considered puncturing it with a needle but screw it, I'll leave it alone for now and try attacking it 'gently' with benzoyl peroxide for a while.

I'm done worrying for now...besides it's time to go outside again

It's been two months since I've had several breakouts for nooooo reason.

I still have a bunch of scars from the acne I had a few weeks ago... Some of the acne won't even go away. And some are itchy... >.< I think I grew some new ones too.

But... I am glad a bunch of my pimples aren't feeling sore anymore. I can finally wash my face without feeling a lot of pain.

I think I am going to visit the dermatologist soon and hopefully get all of this cleared up.

good! my jawline is infested but I don't give a shit! I am going to heal! Positive thoughtttttttssssss

going to drink my vinegar water now with honey! care to join?

Pretty horrible. My forehead looks like shit. I just shaved and realized my red marks were a lot worse than they were. I'm considering hitting them with lemon juice for a few weeks. I did it about a month ago and got awesome results...just within a week. Thing is, I'm not sure if it made the pimple situation worse. DECISIONS. I've got a party to go to tonight also...so not up for it. I really don't want cameras to be there. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Feeling better. My scab fell off and the pink skin is healing. I don't think I got any new pimples today Also my skin is healing from being off BP and from a clay mask I foolishly applied which broke me out.

I'm just chillin most of the day at my parents house and then going home to do hw. Prob do a sulfur mask later after a walk )

wondering if I could have developed some kind of bad reaction to lemon, itchy bumps all over my jawline ever since I started using it again 🙁

Slightly broken out on either side of my mouth. No big deal, I can live it with it. It just always amuses me when my acne likes to be symmetrical.

I just feel disgusting. I am so sick of waking up and wanting to go straight back to bed. I just don't know what to do anymore. Nothing works. I've tried every cream there is. I've tried every pill there is (even accutane). I just want all of this to end. My forehead, which was once the clearest part of my face is now a red, bumpy mess. I'm planning on skipping university today because I won't be able to focus anyway.

Seriously just so upset.

Trying to stay positive

even if my acne is coming back

After having mostly clear skin for quite a long time, I broke out again right before I had the absolute worst menstrual cycle ever in April to the point of almost passing out from the pain of the cramps. I think the two may be related....

It's not worse today and doesn't look too bad thanks to my makeup skills, but I'm pretty angry about the fact that I broke out in the first place. I've been lashing out at almost everyone today and sleeping the rest of the time.

I'm just frustrated and angry.

i see it & feel it.... but i know it's not going to scar me, so i'm feeling good about it because it's very temporary

Really bad! one of the worse experiences

well..its weird..ive had acne for 25 years..past year has been the worst ever...but finally have gotten a break for almost 2 months..nothing new but dealing with hyperpigmentation on left cheek that will be there for long time due to huge cysts. in some ways i feel great...i cant believe i have been "clear" for almost 2 months, after 25 years did i finally find my "cure"...it consists of doxy,finacea, and sulfacetamide..and i take zinc and turmeric pills, drink tons of water..is this my "cure" finally??? i feel great bc ive been enjoying life...but yet..wake up every morning..wondering...scared..is it going to come back? its so weird not to be enjoying this...its like im waiting for it to comeback...i think acne stays with you even if its gone

Hopeful. Finally got the courage to make an intro post here!

doesn't matter what i have on my face, or what i don't have on my face. i'm f!@#ed in the head.
