I'm becoming more paraniod. Now that my skin is clearing up, I'm constantly afraid of it breaking out. Even more than when it actually was, which is sad.
One thing for sure I know....is that I'm making it super irritated from touching it so much. Maybe I'm annoyed that my skin is persistantly dry all the time (yes, I know, it's winter).
Not good. I am breaking out again. Luckily, I only have a couple of whiteheads. Better than a couple of cystic pimples. Regardless, it sucks a lot. Confidence has been an issue for quite a while now and I have only been back at school for two weeks. I'm still doing my thing and getting on with my life, but it's definitely not easy. I hope my acne passes, because I have had enough of it.

Honestly, that will pass. I was feeling the same just over a month ago. I knew that my skin was changing and that I'd been eliminating more and more triggers from my diet and so on. I could tell that things were healing faster and that my skin was clearing up. Then for the next few weeks, I was checking it more than I did when I was broken it, to see if it was still clear. I was just scared that the acne would come back at any moment and that I was just being tricked into a false sense of security. Fast-forward five or six weeks and I reckon I can safely assume that "any moment" has now passed and that fear isn't in my mind now. If something were to happen and I broke out, I guess I'd deal with it (read as, 'freak out' 
) at the time, but the fear that it might happen is no no longer there and I no longer feel as if I'm essentially willing it to happen or tempting fate.
happy birthday!
Ive been kind of numb through my whole entire forhead fiasco.But Im finally just totally losing it. And I have some confessions and I would really apreciate input.
So, I have this bottle of stuff called Traimcinolone Acetnoide its a steroid for eczema. Well when my zits got super dry, Id put it on and would get rid of redness and swelling and it was like magic. But its also a suspect to why my skins being....blehck over and over. But I really odnt want to quit it:( It just heals popped zits so nicely. And my TTO is just not working very well, well sort of. My foreheads just a disaster right now, comletely. And Im just.....ugh, really tired of covering my head with bangs and caking on the concealer everyday.
Tonight I really want to leave it alone, and just put a little TTO on the actives, but I dont know If I have the will to trash my Triam Ace shit (which I know breaks down skin barriers over time 
) Ugh, why do I stil lhave the perscription for that stuff?! My exzema has been gone for three years. My skins freaking horrid (okay no, its moderate right now, just my forhead and theyre small, varely even papules, just little red dots but alot), and this TTO and Triam thing isnt doing that well. Looking for new options (THAT arent the regimen, Im not slapping BP all voer my face, which is already excessively dry)
Officially trashing the Triamcinolne Acetonide ( for my facial acne atleast).
Tonight Im just going ot leave me skin ALONE. (well im gonna wash and mousturize but ALONE) And tommorw im going ot try that Dauc gel I have yet to try due to my gaint fear of bruning my face off with BP related products. ANY ADVICE? For other spot treatments that wont hurt skin? Much appreciated <3
I cant feel half my face becuase of novacaine ( had teth extracted) And its not fun, my friends.
Anyways Imm aleave my forhead alone tongiht and if it shows me it can begin to heal on its own, I think I shall let it do that (maybe with some TTO)
Otherwise I mgiht have to man up and finally sue my Duac prescription. Buttohles. My mouh hurts and my foreheads sihtty :/
I was feeling kinda down about my skin today because the past 2 days I keep having whiteheads pop up on my cheeks....it's really frustrating because no matter what, they always leave red marks, and I'm trying to get the red marks on my cheeks to fade! Luckily they are not huge, painful, or really noticeable pimples, and they seem to come to a head immediately. So all in all, could be a lot worse I guess. I just don't get why I'm getting them. I think it might've been because I missed a day of my Doxy, but I'm not sure.
Other than that, I still think my skin is gradually getting better. The red marks seem to be fading. Especially when I get up in the morning for some reason, they always look a lot lighter/better....anyone know why that is? But anyways, I just need to keep trucking along I guess. The other day the guy I like said I was gorgeous, which really did wonders for my self esteem since it's kinda bad right now Also, my makeup is still going on pretty well, which is great! Not too much dryness.
Just done. So pissed off.
Kay, just s0 everyn0e is clear when I pimple c0unt I c0unt every littel bump (clear 0r n0t, small 0r micr0sc0pci, bbecuase heck theyre all g0nna be pimples s00n anyways) Current c0unt 0n my f0rhead is 30. And im bey0nd mad. 
Ugh, they jsut keep multiplying. I darnk 2 HUGE glasses of water last night, did my TTO but let it alone. And now this....... I want to cry. Its spreading all over my forehead. Still my cheeks remain out 0f the game. Ugh, I guess Im going to have to start Duac. I dont want to start Dauc. I hate BP, so much.
I have a few questions and if anyone on here could answer them that would be great.
0nce, you start using BP (I plan on just using it the spotty areas not my entire face) and y0ur acne clears, d0 y0u have t0 c0ntinue using it f0r like ever? Becuase i d0nt think I want t0 use that stuff that l0ng
I'm feeling super today!! My skin is very smooth. I only have 2 active pimples. I remember having like 25 active ones 2 weeks ago. They're all gone and the redness also vanished. I've been using aloe vera. I was also playing games while I had a lot of zits.. it helped a lot not to think about it. Now I don't think about my skin problem. I used to always look in the mirror or kept touching my zits.. not anymore!
Like my forehead, its furstrating ,they keep mutliplying. Like a billion it seems. More and more and Im not even ding anything. its so frustrating. I hate acne, so much. I now seem to be developing a big one between my eyebrows. Kill me please. Right now.
In depseration im ding Duac now. Fuck you acne.

try SA 2 or even 4% for your forehead. i had a bunch of small bumps, clogged pores not inflamed and SA helped me alot.
Well i over did it with retin-a early this week and my skin is still "remodeling" as they call it. remodeling faster than exfoliating hence what the people at EDS forums call "case of the uglies" any way im dealing with that. my face hurts and is easily irritated. using emu oil from SB to treat that. hope it gets better soon otherwise i'd feel pretty good not great. but content
After a nice shower where i took my time and did things gently and a nice mousturizing, my skin looked less irritated and more refreshed ( dont get me wrong, it didnt get rid of all those pesky spots) after about 5 mintues after mousturizing I applied little tiny amunts of Duac gel and lightly rubbed them in on the cluster f zits (pretty much spot treating, although not very concentrated) My face hasnt turned red or started tingling and burning at all like it used to when I was an idiot and concentrated high amounts of 10% BP on my acne. Well:) Lets see what the Duac does, ill give it some weeks and hopefully it will at the least NOT get worse. Im hoping to see a bit of improvem ent. I can still live with a few spots, its just alot right now :/ Ive decided to keep pstive, becuase I figure gettnig al lworked up is just a wast f my energy and i mean i have bangs covering it anyways, its far frm severe and rest of my face looks like a freaking rainbow and a unicron 
Maybe its too soon to say but I really like Duac so far. My zits already look less red, the sweeling on most of them had gone dow alot, all the under ones have stayed dormant, and my skin isnt irritated and dry and flakey:)
I never thought I'd like a prdcut with BP in it, but it utrns out if you use things right,...well:)
Ill see how this all goes, and see if it continuess improving. But Ifeel like a slight improvemnt has taken place, just overnight.
I dont expect an "initail breakout" (which has never occured anyway when I tried a new acne product) but I mean, if your justu sing to spot treat on your current zits and nowhere else on your skin, how could you get a breakout? Does your zit grow zits ontop of itslef like a tree? Nahhh:) Well, I like this prodcut so far and Im glad I got the balls to try it out. Im still using TTO to treat the unirritated wihteheads that occasionaly pop up on my cheeks, becuase I think Im just leaving the heavy duty Duac for the warzne up there on my forhead. Anyways Ill see how this goes:) Not a huge improvemnt, but I ntice a slgiht one...and wlel, its only been one inght

Thanks for the advice:) I tihnk since i just tried Duac and Im liking what I see, I think Ill try that, and if I dont cntinuee god results iwth it Ill consdier SA in the future. I think my face wash has like 1% SA in it. Thanks alot:D

I touch my zits alot too, well, not during the day becuase of makeup, but I guess I do at home when I look the mirror alot......but I guess it good atleast that I use a lgiht touch and dont rub r dig my nails into them? Ahaha, I know its bad :/
Also, the last two days i have been pounding water and snacking less...on salty/sugary stuff. And I think I almst puked eatingl iek half a plate of THE worst spinach I have ever tasted. COMMITMENT:D ahaha. well

I prefer making a smoothie that consist of Spinach. I found a recipe for salads spinach and didn't like it at all. I will stick with the smoothie. =\
It doesn't taste very good! I would say that it taste OK. During breakout, I was drinking green smoothie, but I stopped now since I'm nearly clear.
I should still stick with it just in case.
Yeah, ahaha, I can handle spinach acutally, but this stuff...just tasted weird. Vegetables I cant eat are prabably arugula, aspargus, peppers ( bell or anything) ...and idk. Ahaha, so nastyyy. Ill look up green smoothies. Im currently working on cutting back dairy. I was never a big diary eater, I hat milk and wnt drink it, but I do eat Greek yogurt and the occasinal ice cream. I guess moderatin is fine, especially if its the organic crud. Aha. And sugar, alth im nt biggest sweet tooth ever....
No zits on my face right now, just redness...the only thing bothering me is the dryness/flakiness, but with my gentle exfoliator and moisturizer, I'm pretty good. I think my skin is steadily improving now that I'm a month into my regime. Really excited to continue to see results.
Gr, I broke out with 3-4 new acne, but my skin still look smooth. I was so clear like 2 days ago, until yesterday.. 3-4 new acne isn't a big deal. They usually vanish in 2-3 days. But I did miss my skin 2 days ago.. was so smooth and clear I;'ve been stressed though due to a test, so that could be it.
