Horrible. I am actually sitting here with bandaids all over my face to prevent me from picking at my SCABS that were once zits because I can't stop picking. I look like I'm addicted to meth or something with all the scabs and red marks on my face.

watch out sometimes the adhesive stuff on band-aids can irritate your skin. I get an alleric reaction from most of them.

Ive heard of people using milk of magnesia mask on thier face in order to not pick.

Try to avoid looking in the mirror when you feel like this (sorry Im sure you know this already)

Im kind of frustrated today:(. it seems like everytime one pimple goes away a new one right next to the old one magically appears ugh and now im even getting baby zits on my scars ugh!!!! when does the cycle end!!!!

worst thing ever happened today.

my rugby team and our rivals decided to have a "friendly" game cos the seasons over and we're bored. so in the game i supposable stamped on someone and the other teams prop punched me in the face right on a spot. i don't know if any of you have had a big red spot punched but i can tell you it absolutely kills, still hurts 10 hours after. anyway i then got a load of insults about my skin and was picked on for the rest of the game we won though

ugh what jerks!!

Ive been there

gooooood

My forehead, nose, chin and the left side of my face are almost clear. But the right side of my face is a mess. I have maybe six or seven huge pimples which have appeared today. Strange.

Hey, right side! Take a look around you! Everything else is clear so behave and clear up too!

Annoyed. My breakout of little bumps is taking foreveeeeer to subside. My acne doesn't bother my as much as my uneven skin tone and red marks, though.

I'm using the sheer type bandaid, not sure that makes a difference but it's less sticky. I only start to get itchy from bandaids if I wear them 24/7.

I'm not wearing bandaids today, all yesterday I had minimal picking and I didn't pick while trying to fall asleep (a VERY bad habit), and I haven't really picked so far today, which is CRAZY because it's my worst habit. Every time I need to scratch my face I use my knuckles or the back of my hand instead and I am being very aware of every time my hands go to touch my face.

Oddly mirrors have the opposite effect on me. I'm not the type of person who looks in the mirror and finds things to pick, instead I pick while I am at the computer, watching TV, or trying to fall asleep, times when I CAN'T see my face. When I look in the mirror after picking and see what I've done I completely regret it each time.

I feel really good! Changed my regimen a bit and it seems to be working.

Here's my new policy: "Screw BenzoylPeroxide when I'm outside".

I'm pretty much completely clear, I have a bit of an uneven complexion, my neck has some bumps or whatever but overall I look really good now.

It's good to be home again where the air is cleaner and I'm wayyy more in control of my skin.

i feel pretty crappy and anxious. my skin has a bunch of crusty zits along my forehead and hairline:(. and i feel anxious cuz these are just dying to be picked at but so far i havnt picked this day so im gunnuh keep goin and hopefully wont give in:)

I know the feeling! I keep accidentally scratching my face and feeling a dry zit that is BEGGING to be scratched and picked off You should cut your nails if they are long.

yeah thats a good idea

Feeling miserable, confidence is zero. When I go out into the sun, not only i get tanned I also get sunburns which makes everything so much worse. sigh..

Literally just got up around half hour ago and feeling a bit bleurgh. My break out feels like it's taking forever to go away and I've obviously gone a bit OTT with the bp as around my mouth is bright red and painful. D: I think I'm feeling more low because I've got lots of stuff to do today/this weekend so I know there's no escaping seeing people. ;p

depressed. i was acne free for the past week with only annoying scars left. i swear i was on cloud9. i started going out with my friends again and feeling like a normal teenager. but yesterday i started breaking out again.God knows what went wrong, maybe i've been using too much makeup. this feels like a never-ending cycle of torture! i even avoid dating because i couldn't help feeling sorry for the guys who think i'm pretty , when what makes me pretty is all that makeup . i just feel so. unworthy. of anyone.

Have had a Pilonidal cyst (huge golfball sized cyst near my tailbone/butt) for 4 days and i cant even move without extreme pain.

and i thought i had gotten over my acne/cysts until now. FML

Bad. Picked all last night and today. I didn't pick at all for 1 day, and now I just undid all of my hard work. This sucks.

Terrible. My skin is so jacked up ugh

I'm losing hope. Even if I get clear, my skin texture is terrible. I wish there was a magic pill to permanently shrink pores

Great. Vigilantly stuck to the DK regimen for the past three weeks after a bit of a break out caused by slackness and once again I have more or less completely clear skin. The huge zit I had a while ago is virtually gone and doesn't look like it's going to scar, so it's happy days all round lol

Why do you pick it's not going to look better red and inflamed.

OK I guess...my breakout from few days ago is easing down, although I have a big pimple on my forehead, kinda sucks ;-;

Pretty shit! I had a pizza a few days ago and I thought I had escaped a break out. Apparently not. I usually never break out on my forehead, or when I do it's not obvious. It's verrrry obvious in this case. I'm also breaking out on my cheek a bit.

Feeling better about it today than I have in a long time.

I started birth control recently and it already is looking more clear. Its mostly PIH spots and healing spots on my cheeks right now. Which sucks but at least I dont have any that hurt and/or are that really noticeable shade of dark red! I looked at my face from the front today and in the lighting I almost looked clear! Then I turned sideways and saw the marks. :/ but oh well! So excited. The pill was basically my last resort and I really hope I keep clearing up at the rate I have been.

Today is a good day.

Not technically acne, but I just stretched my face out in the mirror to see what I'd look like with small pores... OMG, the difference it makes. I looked so much better. I wonder if I can walk around with my face taped back.

Bahh. I feel horrible! I feel fine until I look in a mirror, but then it's like.. ugh. I'm having the worst breakout I've had in the longest time, and I'm not sure why. It might be because of my moisturizer.

My breakout is right on the right side of my mouth and there are about 15 papules/steadily forming pustules/whiteheads. I've never had breakouts there before! And my forehead finally looked better (it had always been my worst spot) but now it's back to its acne form.

And the worst part that scares me is that it isn't that time of the month, so I can't even imagine how horrible it will look when that happens.
