My face is pretty good right now but today while I was cleaning the house I hit my forehead against the wall, exactly where I got a huge pimple. Ohhhh the pain. :shock:

 

AAAH!

I can relate.

My mom's car is in the shop, and is using the mechanic's car ..it has an automatic seatbelt and i got it and it hit me on the chin, where I have a cluster of small cysts ... i yelled OOOOW! WHAT THE...?!

I can't wait 'til we get our car back.

Haha it sucks! I want the right of hitting my face without feeling any kind of extra pain thanks.

Geeking, maybe you are seeing things from a wrong point of view. Maybe your chin get better before the car get back. :D

I was able to pop one of the many large zits I have on my face, and let me tell you, the excitement I had once the puss squirted out was overwhelming. It's gone down tremendously and it feels a hell of a lot better. It hurt so fucking bad, now it doesn't hurt barely at all!

 

Ahhh so happy. :boogie:

 

Now if only these others would go away :(

My face is in a bad state currently.. to pop or not to pop, that tis the question constantly. Either you get a big filled up white zit on your face or you get the after effects of it.. which is worse? It's always a gamble how well it will go. Those ones you get on your upper lip area take forever to go away.. and I got two of them now...

 

There are too many things going on right now to keep stress free which is something I hardly know anything about. Having the acne causes more stress.. the vicious cycle. I'm planning on working out today at the gym.. but its discouraging to do something like that when your face is in a shit state.

 

Looks like a hormone raging teenager on roids or something.. bah.. I'm 24.. hope I grow out of this junk. I think the dept has been payed for already for having this junk for 12 years.

Good.

 

For the first time my do nothing approach is working really well. My diet is terrible at the moment, not much fruit and veg and quite a lot of fast food and yet even my angriest acne seems to be healing before they their worst.

 

Red marks still a bitch, but i'm hopeful i can improve even more.

I'm trying not to pick again, AHH! I hope I can make it. Usually keeping a log makes me feel more official about it so quitting is harder.

& I'm going on a diet, we'll see how well that goes... :doubt: Need more water too.

 

My acne hurts like hell. I've never experienced painful acne before. I knew the stress was gonna break me out, but not this bad. :cry: It hurts just to wrinkle my forehead! Ahhh :(

So i'm almost 8 weeks into accutane, and my skin is a mess. I got these really ugly scabs at the corners of my mouth from all the dryness. Now I know you are not supposed to, but I tore them off and now my lips look like Heath Ledger's in the Dark Knight. This is in addition to all the spots and blackheads already present on my face. I really don't want to go anywhere right now, but I've got to go to the hospital in 2 hours for my derm appointment. :wall:

Shitty. Two new huge cysts. Gonna have to shave my beard because it's making me breakout, and I never break out anymore. When I shave my beard all my scars along my jawline and side of cheeks will be visible again. Damn it, this sucks.

My steroid induced rosacea, acne is a lot better, healing day by day and have got a bit lighter towards my normal skin colour. Not red anymore and also all the whiteheads have died down and going back to smooth skin, just a dark colour but is noticeably healing well.

No real new zits, my skin is still recovering from a massive break out last week.

I have a white head or 2 and of course constant redness. I'm pretty happy 'bout that.

 

Though it is a roller coaster, next thing I know I'll break out and be upset, then clear up a bit & be happy and so on.

Still ok.

 

Some minor spots forming, but the healing is still going well.

 

It's the red marks which take forever. Slowly but steadily should get through them though.

I have a couple of clogged pores on my forehead. Some red marks here and there but all in all my skin is the best it's been in about 5ish months. I'm..still have some psychological problems though..Acne was really just the tip of the fuckin iceberg.

I just started my third round of accutane (Low dose 10mg/day). It's been roughly a decade since I started getting acne and treating it, and accutane is the only thing that's ever worked. Today its actually looking better, and I'm so happy about it :)

A lil off topic, but:

 

"Last of all HArin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew HArin cried: aoeAure entuluva! Day shall come again!a Seventy times he uttered that cry ..."

 

Oh, I really love Tolkien.

Feel decent about my acne today, it looks slightly less red, but that's probably only because it's cloudy today with no sun out :(

I feel great today! I've been trying out a new method, and it is clearing me up FAST, and it's gotten rid of all my flakes. I'm so happy! :D Who knew something so simple could work so well?
