Well, a couple days ago I only had one pimple and was complaining about it. I wish I had known how lucky I was a few days ago. Right now I have about 6 pimples and I stupidly just popped them and now they are bleeding and probably going to scab. So, I guess you could say I feel like crap about my acne.
I'm absolutely pissed off, atm I'm going through this purge because I couldn't use bp for 1-2 weeks. (My order was effing crazy 4 weeks late)
so now I'm stuck with all these bumps, redness and all that crap for the weekend...JUST when I have this important event coming up. ARG
i had to get a haircut cuz my hair gets oily quick, and i start getting little breakouts on the back of my neck at the hairline, i left it too late this time and got a few tine painful zits so had to do my hairline at home with a trimmer so the breakouts could get some cold canadian winter air and shrivel up fast, plus clearasil, and it worked, over 24 hours they were gone, i did a random evil laugh when i felt them gone and my friends looked at me funny(funnier than usual i mean)
I feel like my life has been taken over by my skin. I can't go to sleep because I keep thinking about my skin. When I was age 13-17, my Dad abused me and opressed me to the point where I wasn't allowed to hangout with anyone outside of school and I was living in fear every single day afraid of my father and what he was going to do to me, I was locked up in a closet an entire night so I wouldn't be able to go out and have a life, and felt so alone because the police didn't believe my stories. My Dad took away a very important part of my life that I can never get back. I never hungout with anyone as a teen or been to a party because I was never allowed to. My first date was supervised, so I just avoided dating anyone, even though there were guys interested in me, I never got to experience them. Now I have acne and I have no choice to not hangout with anyone, and now NO guy wants me because of my skin issues are so hideous. I feel like my teens were taken away from me, and now my young adult life is going to be taken away.
I really don't want to have acne anymore, so I'm going to force myself to eat plain healthy food. My Dad took away my early-mid teen years but my acne won't take away the rest of my youth. I'm going to destroy it so one day I can break free and be able to have a social life that I never got the chance to have.
It feels good to get that off my chest.
New low point, a full blown breakout that i thought i left behind me after a year of pretty successful use of differin. The stuff officially stopped working, that's for sure. I wish I could not care and ignore, and I sometimes can, but this breakout forced me back to the mirror and made me realize I'm back at square one, plain and simple. I thought I had my acne under control - clear: no, under control: yes, but it turns out that was all illusion.
I am feeling.....mediocre...eh, lame. So my my skin was all nice and clear all week, until Saturday and I got tihs massive zit on the center of my forhead. That ones gotten smaller now acutally and less red, but than another one about an inch under it still in the middle fo my forehead appaered and that ones crappy. And than a huge zit by my mouth but its al lred and dried out around it. Ugh, So i look pretty lame. Its all so dry though and im not postitive if the zits have scabbed over or not. But im putting my helanig lotion becuase it gets rid of the irriatiation so that should make the swelling go odwn a bit and definately the redness. But yeahl ets hop e that works. Im trying to wear less face makeup, becuase I feel like a mask wheni put 7 layers on and in the sun it loks ewwy and makes me look like I have wrinkles aorund my mouth. I only put a sheer amount on today and it acutally lookedp retty nice. But forheads one crappy picutre and so is the side of my mouth. LEts hop its gone by Sunday.
Meh. Alright I guess. Although, compared to this time last week when I wanted to rip my face clean off, it's sooooo much better!
Just frustrating that it goes up and down and the acne won't just leave me alone for good.
I reallly need to quit picking!
Same except for the picking.
I'm grateful that my skin doesn't break out like it used to....I REALLY REALLY am. But I'm sick of dealing with 2 year old red marks that haven't even faded. How is that possible? It would be one thing if they were few and far between but they're EVERYWHERE on my face and deep. How are red marks deep?!?! ugh. SO many things to be frustrated about when it comes to your skin, not just active pimples I guess.
Fuck you acne! Die you bitch! lol. On a more serious note, I think we need to stop criticizing ourselves so much. We are so cruel to ourselves. It's not like anybody every says anything about my acne! I'm the only one who makes fun of it! Why? Because that's how some of are wired. People have real problems. Acne isn't that big of a problem. Just putting things into perspective here. I didn't have anybody I cared about die today in a horrible tornado or car accident. I didn't lose my leg in Iraq. I didn't get cut off from unemployment. See what I mean? Acne isn't a real problem! We just make it out to be...
I'm very scared!
I was on a low dose of accutane those last few months and I just came off of it a few days ago. I was kind of clear while being on it.. And now, after just 3 or 4 days while I'm off it, I already got 2 new pimples. But luckily they are very small and I'm propably the only one noticing them, but yeah.. It's just so annoying and frustrating, I took accutane twice, I take birth control, I eat healthy and I always follow my skin regimen very faithfully... What else is there my skin would want me to do?!
I have really bad scarring on my cheeks. Before I started my regimen this March I used to pick on the acne a lot. Out of desperation I was stupid enough to use a push pin and poke on the acne. I'd sometimes let the push pin go in my skin and 1/3 of a centimeter but that was the only solution I saw since usually the pimples would dry out in a couple of days (but leave scarring which I never realized) compared to 1-2 weeks of leaving it on its own. If I hate something more than the acne it's myself for allowing the scarring to be this bad. Thanks to Doxycycline I'm clean right now. Occasionally I get really small pimples that usually go away in a day or two. I hate the scarring and the acne marks so bad. What makes me happy is that my forehead is 100% clean and always is. I never get a single pimple on it and I'm very happy for that (smiling IRL just thinking about it). How I wish my whole face was as clean and scar free as my forehead is
I have no idea where to start this. It's my second time posting here although I've lurked for so long. I don't have any severe acne nor have I suffered from it ever. The worst I get are just literally too many to count whiteheads on my forehead from wearing bangs.
My skin is an oilslick. I thought if we the world needed oil, I would gladly offer my services. I don't know if anyone's ever gotten this much oil production on their face but I do. I could easily use up 5 sheets of oil blotting paper in one sitting by the middle of the day. I have to say i'm glad it didn't turn into any of the red pimple thingy but just whiteheads.
Recently I got around 2 small blackheads in my nose that only I can see and I'm not bothered by it at all. I was already celebrating because I didn't break out at all before and during my period (which is the usual thing). Until a day after my period there are these pesky small bumps underneath my skin (which I now know are whiteheads that are yet to come to surface) that appeared. I wanted to get a peel to get rid of it asap but I didn't want to spend the money I saved for me to use during travelling in Asia (my flight is this week so I just really can't touch it).
My skin, no matter what anyone says, bothers me so much. A lot of girls are obsessed about their weight or their hair or their clothes or whatever. My obsession is my facial skin. I live in the Philippines and unlike most people in Asia, the girls here aren't big with make up. Only around 1/10 girls would even wear foundation. The most they do is put baby powder on their face! And a lot still got crystal clear skin even with all the pollution and heat and humidity. So I guess this is where my obsession came from.
Even without these, I'm bothered with facial veins. I have them near my jaw and although I got away with it by people calling me "Baby faced", I am obviously too self critical that I blew money off this month to get them lasered off for the first time. The derm told me I need more sessions for it and i'm okay with that. I'm just pissed that i need to blow cash on my skin like this while some people have it freaking effortless! It's unfair.
