Adding to my post. Theyre actaully (cept for the cluster on my chhek) not too noticeable. No one sees them at all. I barely see them unless im looking into a car window with the usn pouring down (HATE THAT!) And I can still smile, and think not too shabby...........I just think how far Ive come. And Im 13..........im gonna deal with this for YEARS. It curdles my stomach to think about it, but....Im not ognna let it rule my life. I dont really think about it at achool,...i only worry a bit when i get home and treat the bastards.
My point, your skin will be clear somedays, and the next it might be not so good. Really, not anyone but you cares, and most odnt notice (unless severe but they still dont care) YOure ognna deal with acne sometmes, DONT LET IT RUL YOUR LIFE...or you WILL be miserable.

Hey, at 13 there's a big chance that you will still grow out of it when your hormones level out. 
Today is ....goood. Ive had a SPECTACUALR weekend, regardless of zits.
The bad ones on my left cheek are calming down, although since theyve been there about a week or two, Im used to them and forget theyre there. Things on my forhead...are doing eh.....claming down atleast. No new ones ando ld ones are healing. My nose is calming down a bit. I only have one new pimple on my right cheek by my nose. Its not inflamed and is a slight bump in the light, but thats it. so, im not freaking out. My weekend was just GREAT, and Im excited for 2moro.
i feel very confident lately, lol, i keep getting pimples on my neck though, i think its cuz of all the collared shirts i wear at work, whatever they come and go it just doesnt bother me anymore theres so much more to me and my life than zits! take a hike acne, get a real job! 
My little ignoring this, its not bad hype has definately.....vanished a bit.
Okay, There has been an off and on cluster on my cheek, for 3 weeks now. Its hideous. and there are four together and one above them.....It hurts like FUCK! and they just dont go away. The skin around it is dry, but the zits...Nah, still sittin there, being evil peices of shit.
Than theres the one aove my eyebrow which suddenly decided to puff up outta nowhere. Theyre all inflamed acne now...papules......my cheek hurts....SO SO MUCH. And they just sit there, so red all together....been there forever, if i lose one I get another right above it. And the one above my eyebrow!!! OHMYGOD!...Well, this is Friday and Ive been chill all week, when it looked the same as this, cept less inflamed. Nobody noticed. Its still pissses me off they got all inflamed. I want my Erymicen (my abbreviation for that) back SOOO BAD. It all went to shit when I went off that med. But i need to cool it right now. Just Friday, with a bunch of other kids wih acne too and than a weekend to myself to demolish these bitches of redness at home. Eh, It'll go away.
Like its never going to end..Im scared & ask myself how do i deal with this? How do i let people see me like this?
I feel for you, my friend. I really hope you're able to find a solution soon, or at least peace within yourself.
While I'm here, might as well add my own thoughts...
I'm not really sure how I feel to be honest. My skin has dried up this week, my acne is healing and scars are fading. I've no idea if it's doing it of its own accord, if it's down to the fresh air and bit of sunshine I've had this week, or if it's the work of the Doxycycline I'm now taking. Perhaps it's all three. Only been on the Doxy a few days so I'm not even sure it will have kicked in, or indeed if there's a breakout to follow. I suppose I should just relax and enjoy the improvements this week.
I have had a frustrating acne weekend. I mean it stayed the same. One red papule 'bove my eye, one cluster of shit on my cheek thats been there for a fucking month. It looks pretty much the same as it did on Wednesday though, and I didnt care than.......ugh, it was actually amazing. On Friday this girl said i had "flawless skin" and im like thinking "Yore kidding? You dont see this papule attack on my cheek? Are you kidding me, right?" So, I guess I'm doing okay. Ever since I stopped Ery with my doctors prescription, my skin has slowly just been "eh, ok"
I remind myself of all the times people have said that dont have an idea what Im talking about. And acutally I have amaizng skin.
No scars, its super soft, no indents or bad pigmentation, no little bumps Its smooth and perfect except for a few odd papules. The papules are still annoying and bothersome. Specially when they appear reeatedly in the same exact place for 2 months striaght. Moms making an appointment with the dermatologist, and I'll see if we can bash this shit once and for all. Im getting a tad annoyed with my cheek. With makeup theyre just bumps in the sun, which arent that bad, I mean, yeah, noticeable, but not bad. I look around though, and everyone has the same acne as me, some worse, some not as bad. I have pretty mild, sometimes mild/moderate acne. I'll just be grateful its not severe and cystic...for now.
Hopeless. This cluster on my cheek, is turning borwnish but than agian looksl like some papules that melted and molded otgether ath there ends.....its been here since the begininng of September, it goes up and down. After trial and arror, Ive decided to leave it lanoe and hope that works, its SO disgusting looking, and.....frustrating, the swelling on it has ogne down since yesterday morning....but, UGH!
And the one above my eye, is a first class, stark red papule. I know, if I keep lickig it with Tea Tree Oil, it should hopefully diminsih than Ill leave it alone. I havent just let a zit alone.....for ever.
I dont know what to do about my cheek tohugh, becuase it comes back there for the past month. It never reall goes away. Oh, and I woke up with a little wihtehead on my nose. Hopefuly, If i put a dab of tea tree oil on it will die today, like usual.
So frustrarted with my cheek though, so frustrated. And the one above me eye has been there 3 times. They just love ot reoccur in the worst possible places!
Hopeless.
Never give up, you can win. I'm sure if I were to look back at my replies in this topic, I've had times when I felt like that as well. Some of them probably aren't even that long ago. Fast forward to today and I feel better. My skin's not perfect but is improving and I'm coming to realise that I've wasted so much of my mental energy on it for so long now. It's better just to try and let it go and relax. Easier said than done, but there's nothing to lose.
That being said, there are certain instances when acne can be really bothersome and indeed painful. I imagine anything around the area can hurt and it's never fun when the cheeks break out. Here's hoping the stubborn areas start to clear up for you really soon.
Mainly I just wanted to respond to what you said about leaving pimples alone and how you usually don't manage to let them heal on their own. I'm like that, until today, I've never had pimples do their own thing because I always attack them first and make them a million times worse. However, I did get a group of about six pimples to the right of my mouth a few days ago. When I smile and the skin curves around from the side of my nose down the side of my mouth, the pimples actually follow that line. 
I left them alone because I knew they would be a total mess if I did anything. This morning, two of them actually popped on their own. I've never had that happen before because I've never given it chance. Having cleaned them after they popped, they have gone down a lot today because I didn't pressure them or pick. Just goes to show, we are better off if we try our best to leave them alone.
I hope things start to clear for you soon and that you start to feel better in yourself. 
Today I feel annoyed with my acne. Two days ago I was completely clear except for like 3 that were starting to heal but then they flared up again, but I popped one. So currently I have 2 pimples that keep flaring back up that are seriously pissing me off. 
& I keep getting these weird bumps under my skin on my cheeks. They will look like huge pimples about ready to become inflamed and painful but I will go into the mirror and squeeze and all this stringy puss will come out. I think it's like maybe 4 clogged pores all around each other. I had the exact same thing yesterday and I squeezed the stringy puss and today it's gone. IT'S JUST SO ANNOYING AND WEIRD, and not to mention gross.
BUT, my face is getting a lot better. So that's a good thing. My boyfriend was over a couple days ago and he told me he can't see any pimples and that he loves my face without makeup, (even though I hate it because of all the hyper pigmentation marks.) But yeah, still annoyed.
Like its never going to end..Im scared & ask myself how do i deal with this? How do i let people see me like this?I feel for you, my friend. I really hope you're able to find a solution soon, or at least peace within yourself.

I think that relaxing and being in the air can only do you good!That goes for all of us when I was at the beach i had no breakouts in the sun and sea air. Just to note, when I took antibiotics of any sort they worked very fast for me--within 5 days could see a definate improvement, and I never got an IB from them, but I had to stop taking them as I got candida infections more than once(not nice!). However not being a girl you guys dont have to worry about that. Id still take probiotics at the same time though, just a note.
At the moment my skin is very good, no active pimples and very little red marks. I feel blessed...only I always fear it could all come back antime. Sigh, why cant I just enjoy the day?
;-P
TIRED LETHARGIC RAGE.
That about sums it up.
...like the Governator, shortly after the media found out about his secret love child? lol hope I got a smile...?
EXACTLY like that! Thankyou, Paul. I try not to let it get to me and yeah, I think initally hurting my skin iwth chemicals is what got it this bad. I wish my mom never let me play with face makeup when I was i 6th grade, I had such nice skin back then. Why did she let me fool around iwth her makeup? Ugh. I dont tihnk makeups never initially made a difference though. Im wash it off when I get home, and I buy clean porducts. I mean, I went a whole summer without it and it made absolutley no difference whatsoever. I think the error was back in June when I was getting a breakout and I started putting Clay Masks all over my face and than when they dried out I put my Eczema setroid cream on them. That cream seemed to work great for a while. It would make the dryness go away and drastically improve the inflammation and redness of the pimple...but, ugh, bad idea. I think part of the reason i blotted multicoloered creams lal over my face is so when I was home I didnt have to look at the pimples, just the lotions, and I would think "Theres onthing under those." Went on Ery from July thorugh mid September (topical) and it was amazing. Everything just vanished. But than I had to go off of it and all my zits just cmae back, in the same places. And although I took care of most of them with Tea tree Oil, my two worst places still have an issue. There this one zit above my left eyebrow that repeatedly flares up, in which case I will cut my bangs a little more, and not let anyone see my left eye for a week.
I remeber one week in the summer, after my parents told me they would only take me to the derm, if I would stop putting crap on mmy face. That was the worst my face had ever been. I had chemical burns form a combination of topicals, chlorine and sun all over my cheeks, which made it hurt to smile (and turned into scars, which have now just practiclaly faded) And oll over my forehead i had this red papules. It was....I put towels over the mirror in my room, becuase it just disgusted me. But after one week, of gently washing my face, mousutring and the arare aloe vera for the burns. The inflmmation and irritation went down, and it was getting better. So, yeah, I have this retarded need to combat my pimples. Im limiting myself to just Tea Tree Oil. I tried the Clay mAsk again for a week, and rememebered where I was going again so I threw it in the back of my droor. Sorry, for the year long story.
Today: I feel bleh-ish (im sick) But ok. The inflammation is gonig gown although theres stil lan active pipmple on my cheek cluster (rest are dried out of scarring bits {thats what I call light borwn and fading ones}) So I can deal. Yesterday, my cluster got so dry under my foundation, it literally cracked. Which was nasty looking proabably for everyone at recess. My friend always thinks im crazy and asks "Wtf, im tlaknig about. " I usually dont mind it all day long. The only time I seem to get frustrated is in the a.m. when I have to face the task of concealing them. Otherwise, I usually dont let it cross my mind much. SOmetimes, I try ot hide behind my hiar when were in the sun (hairs never irritated my acne either, i dont use any products in it and keep it clean) I usually just remind myself every other kid here has acne, and no one gives a rats ass about mycurrent flare up. Its nice when people look you in the eye. They never seem to ntice. Which is good:)
i had a huge pimple on my back when i woke up yesterday! im wondering if its cuz i just got a new heavier blanket out recently, its cold in Canada! anyways in true Canadian spirit i fought cold with more cold, meaning i put ice on the pimple and it went down quick, lol, then i put the clearasil stayclear cream on it and it was gone this morning thank goodness!
Good. Forehead helaed, everythings looking nice, the thing on my cheeks ,sort of the smae a littel better.....probs, cuz I dont care about it anymore, its been there so long its like a birthmark almost...(1 month) but yeah, Im not putting anything on it and letting my skin do what it wants to do with it, so far so good.
