Today was okay C: sorta mehh :/ Bangs cover forhead and makeup does okay ish. I see a small whitehead (the knid that can go anywhere frm 1-3 days and arent very bad) starting on my cheek. I dont care at all. They dont bother me one bit...well, yeah. My forhead, feels al ittle elss bumpy, the one between ym eyebrows is develping a head which means itll be gone this week. Others are drying and flattening out, still alot of bumps, some are high and scabbed over. Its al lthe process to begin getting better. S yes, in a way, improvemnt
I feel like a frigen snake!!! I'm flakIng so much it's like I'm shedding my skin : / if anyone could message me about strong and not acne causing moisturizer that would be great :/
@poi6, try anything Olay, they wrk well, and I have never had them break me out. Clinique dramatically differentm outsurizer is nice. I tihnk its preference. Laot of moutsurizers dont break you out, like Olay St. Ives. Most the stuff you find in the durgstore
Anyways skins gettnig a wee dry feelnig and it was a little itchy a few times today. But its not red or burning alot or peepling at all.
Duac though i have alt of hope for. Its already started drying up and lfattening pimples. Its acutally pretty gentle for a BP product. And there is no initial breakout becuase its an antibiotic. I realzie it may be a week of dryness until it adjusts a bit. And I can deal:) Done alot of resaerch and alot of people say that it doesnt really d any bad burning or peeling, and they adore the results. Im already gettnig some results after three days and really excited:) I can endure a week or two of dryness, but yey, I think I finally found sometihng that will work consistently. My forehead is feeling a a bit taut and warm, but nothing bad at all:) Duac<3
Good thing happened today. A doctor finally took me seriously about how my skin messes with my head, my life and the fact I'm scarring my face. They put me on Erythromycin 250mg once a day. Even if this dosen't work, I know I'll find an antibiotic that will (tried every topical under the sun for 8 years)
Hopeful I'm on the right track now!
Happy Valentines day wonderful people <3

Sounds positive. At the very least, it will calm things down and give you a break for a while. Best case scenario is that it reduces whatever degree of acne you may have to something you'd perhaps be happier with. Fingers crossed!
I've gone through the whole list of antibiotics and back to where I started over the last thirteen years. Hopefully this current course of Doxycycline is the last one. Thing is, I've seen great results following diet changes and an increase in my supplement intake in recent weeks, just hoping that it carries on once the Doxy's out of my system. If not, I won't be too impressed. Into my last month of Doxy now, although I'm tapering off gradually, to the point where the last pack will probably run until the end of March. Hoping that that way, my body won't notice it's stopped.

I have some good and bad news pertaingin to Erymycin, just a FYI. Ery works GREAT <3 I loved it so much, totally lcears you up without drying you oout. Its magic. The sad part thugh, is a hear it stops worknig after a while and yur acne comes back. Like after maybe 4 months 
BUt enjoy the results, becuase they are fantastic.
Today was fine, alot are flattening out, cming to heads, drying out, leaving me alone. Its a cycle of clearing ut my skin. And its starting t get there:)

Yes I've heard that to now I've done my research
But hell if it works, I'll take that 4 months! My worst problem is i'm a poker/picker :3
I poke small bumps on my face into not nice, much more noticeable things
I have a feeling that alone is the reason I still break out at 22. It's the one thing I've never tried to fix (lol)
So, 4 months of no bumps, will help me break that habit! (I'm staying positive hehe)
I'm so happy your skin is starting to get there!

I'm sticking with my staying positive attitude that this will help me break a habit of a lifetime and in the end, fix my face
Last night I had maybe, 4? Ridiculously small bumps.
And I was starting at them under a mirror and thought Hmm..They are now huge...things I will not mention incase you're eating xD
So fingers crossed it clears me up enough that I break my really detrimental habit.
Haha! I hope so too, but your skin is looking fantastic. Considering you're also doing diet changes/supplements I have a feeling it'll stay that way.
On topic: Today trying to be happy. But gosh I broke my face ._.
Well, I thought i saw something small on my cheek erlaier, but nothing bad, like a 2 day thing, and i dont relaly see it right now, so thats just ognna go undocumaented. My forheads starting to heal the big ones, and letting the leftovers come out and into a head so they can heal soon too. in a way its better, in a way its a little wrose. But progress overall. VERY minimal flaking, as if none at all
At an all time low in all honesty. Pustules all over, horrible black PIH that is taking over my whole face so I can barely see what my natural skin tone actually is, I've been crying my eyes out staring at myself in the mirror and seeing other people's amazing skin...and so on. Acne sucks .

I guess the biggest thing is how we react to what our skin does, and also recognising that we can influence things in a positive way. When I always felt totally negative about my skin, my actions in response to that would be negative. That only made things worse and the negative cycle went around and around. So even the odd spot would be turned into something far worse, I'd be damaging my skin, and prolonging the acne in the process. Leaving it alone means that a spot is just a spot and it becomes an isolated thing that soon goes away.
For all the changes I've made, the biggest is being kinder to my skin, not picking so much or making a mess of things, and not obsessing in the mirror.
The next thing I think I need to work on is to learn to be kinder to myself, but I guess that will come in time. The acne is ultimately the cause of how I feel so the better that gets and the longer I go with clearer skin, the more I'll start to like being me. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.
Where antibiotics and so on is concerned, I reckon I needed this current course to get me started because it cleared my skin for a period of time and gave me a clean slate to start with. I don't think I could have done it without the antibiotics showing me what my skin could be like if I just managed to leave it alone. Difficult to break the habits but they all get easier when it starts clearing up as a direct result of leaving things alone. That also helps promote a more positive attitude, which is probably the hardest thing to find when you're struggling.
I feel embarassed to go out of the house this week because I got a huge pimple...I haven't had such a big one for a long time and I feel a bit freaked out that it could leave a scar. Well they almost always do -___- I had a similar one on the other side 2 months ago and now a line forms when I smile. It looks like a damn wrinkle!! I just want to cry.
Sort of pissed off because of this tiny spot I got. When my face was breaking out every week, I wasn't freaking out with every new spot, because I got used to them. Having clear skin was weird to me. But now, when my skin is clear with Spiro, I freak out with every new breakouts ( even tiny ones that are visible only to me). But other than that my skin was doing really good lately. Especially last week, it was CLEAR, healthy and nice.
P.S I can't believe we crave something that is usual thing for the majority of humanity. Most of the poeple don't do any efforts in order to have clear skin, yet their skin looks better and healthier than ours. Not Freaking Fair.
