Really horrible. Today, I came over my cousin's place for lunch... and like our grandmother was there, I have seen her in a long time, and how she keep on commenting about my acne... its so horrible, she even comment how seem to have like a chicken pox, like the other kids at work comment so... and everyone from my cousin, uncle and aunt like got into forum and put me to hot seat and talk about it...
I dont wanna go back in having this low confidence and sadness like how it was 2 years ago before I used BP. Anyway what saddens me is for the past days I've been trying to be positive about it... I was even happy, about my right cheek, seem like all the acne are dried and what left was some marks... however my left cheek is just downright horrible... and all that can just be crushed in such way... today.
I end locking myself for about a minute in the bathroom coz I cant take it anymore, like idk, where shall I start again?

I saw your pictures and honestly, it isn't bad. You don't have scars at all and it seems that you won't have bad scars which is good.
I have scars on cheek 'cause I've been breaking out a lot on cheek 
;
Anyways, feeling OK about my skin, I thought I was clearing up, but ended up with 4 active pimples. 2 small ones and 2 annoying ones that are noticeable. ;\At least it isn't as bad as a few weeks ago where I had like 20-30.

Thanks Eddie for those word, yeah I talk it out to my mother about how my day went and she was encouraging too about matters, so am just like trying to renew my disposition that I'll eventually overcome acne. Oh btw, I saw an aloe vera at work, its like on the balcony I never notice it before, am like... walking and suddenly stop upon seeing them reminds me of your regimen.
20-30, yeah I feel ya, anyway hope you clear up soon. 
Oh me too as well haha

Aloe vera helps a lot with redness and scars. I do see improvement on scars and redness. I bet you're still pretty since it isn't bad

I try to feel more positive about my acne as I know that'll help in some way. Hmm eventhough I develop some more on my left cheek, my right is still ok. I might try using the aloe vera once they all dried out. Thanks, I try to be confident as I could.
Tell me to still go out tomorrow night even thought my face looks like shit and I would rather stay home.
OK.
I just need to rant a little bit so I don't need to make a whole new whiny thread, but what the hell face?!
I only get acne on my face (which is great but annoying because it seems my face is the only messed up part of my skin, in a way) and I had a good streak a while back and now I'm back to my ups and downs, 2 weeks ago my skin was doing pretty well in regards to new zits and now I just look terrible. I have 2 hurty pimples between my eyebrows and I'm red and splotchy.
I hate that every time I clear up a bit I think ok this is it, no more acne! but it always comes back. My mind is starting to think of all the reasons I'm breaking out, I'm thinking of food, product, maybe I shouldn't lay on the pillows on the couch anymore - which just is sad cos people without acne never think of this stuff.
I am nearly 23 and I feel like I'll have acne forever. it's been about 10 years I've been suffering, when will it end?
I'd also like to rant a bit. I was on accutane for 6 months and Its been 5 months post accutane. Everything has been great and I've been awesome...until last friday *sighs* I've been breaking out nothing big really just tiny pimples that heal in like 2 days but I'm worried and my hyperpigmentation has lightened but not fully. I was using a glycolic acid cleanser which worked wonders but I went for a month without using it because I didn't have time to go get it and then I started using it again now I think my skin is purging but I'm not sure. I'm just angry and frustrated because I really don't want to go back to having cysts and being miserable. I'm also using a glycolic acid moisturizer at night but I don't know if i should use tretinoin instead.
Like Geeking I think about where I lay my head also.. I never touch my face unless I absolutely have to.. I make sure other people don't touch my face and I follow the "rules" lol Like no tanning, putting on moisturizer with spf higher than 15, washing and moisturizing religiously everyday and is just so awful that we the acne sufferers have to do these things and still deal with this and the other people with nice clear skin like my sister can sleep with make up and still don't break out. I'm 17 been dealing with acne prone skin since I was 14.
My acne wasn't bad at the time it was almost non existent then at 16 it turned into severe acne and its just been an emotional roller coaster since then. The slightest blemish makes me freak out and is just sad because I recognize how obsessed I am to have clear skin and it makes me mad that I can't have nice even toned skin even after all I've been through. I just hope I can finally attain what I've been working for all this time.

I know exactly what you mean. I feel like I worry about so many things because I think "what if that makes my acne worse?" -- and people who have luckily never had to deal with acne don't realise that. They can eat / drink what they want, put whatever they want on their face and be fine. It's annoying to us but they're just lucky I suppose.
I also thought a few weeks ago that my skin was really clearing up - but maybe I jinxed it 
my face is a mess now. Might be due partially to exam stress... I'm really hoping it at least improves a bit soon though - I just got a phone call about a possible job interview 
but I know if I get the interview and my skin looks as bad as it does now or worse that I'll be so self-conscious and end up having a bad interview. I'll try not to let it get to me - and for now just keep hoping for a call
Geeking - you should go out tomorrow night anyway! It'll hopefully distract you from thinking about your skin. Go out and have a good time!!

Aw, I hope you get the job! And yeah, be yourself, don't let acne screw you up . I started applying for a CNA job which there are always job openings, so I should expect some interviews. I only have like 2-3 active pimples, 2 of them hurts (the ones I hate!) on cheek.. grr. I thought it was over 'cause my skin was looking great. I have new scars and some red marks. Oh well, I will try to ignore my skin , 'cause doing this works ;\ I just hope that my scars doesn't look like my Dad's scars. He has a lot of cheeks.

Even though I wouldn't want anyone to go through what we go through with acne, it's always nice to know there are other people who get it and completely understand.
Thanks Lily, I am still going out even though I don't feel very confident, I don't really go out and I feel I should! ha
Best of luck with the interview, let us know how it goes
So, natural or non-natural, it stops working before you're halfway through the bottle? That makes sense
I guess with skin's ability to learn a routine or adapt to an ingredient we'll be provided with with a "broken" product and or regimen, without fail, every time
Guess it's back to 3 splashes a day for me, and leaving my skin the hell alone. So not going through another full breakout.

Thank you both Good luck with finding a job too Eddie and hope you did enjoy the night out Geeking
The 2 new pimple I got is kinda ugly, but one is dried and the other still active.. probably a cystic, it is one of those with no whitehead, that takes a while to heal and it hurts.
I did expected it anyways as I saw small bumps, but I gotta stop looking at the mirror and searching ^^;; Just when my skin was getting better, I break out.. I used to rarely breakout on cheeks.I've been breaking out on cheeks for a while now... I have to deal with scars after I am clear. =\

why dont you go on accutane?
Accutane isn't good for us because of bad side effects, plus I am into all natural. I am a vegan raw and I only apply all natural product on my skin.
It is really not worth it going on accutane, plus my skin isn't that bad.
I feel pretty hopeful about my acne today. Had a pretty bad breakout last week and it was awful! The left side of my face looked like some bumpy mashed up potato. And I had to use my hair to cover but it just made things worse. My fault i know! Thankfully I didn't have to go out much this week so I can get the hair off my face. So now my face is much better. It looks mostly even, instead of the bumpy mashed up potato last week. Hehe.
May be because I'm using honey mask. Helps me calm my skin. Ahhh now that I don't have any significant active acne on my face, I want to get my red marks/scars off so bad before another wave of breakout hits me. ):
Anyway, I started drinking lemon juice just yesterday so hopefully it will help in healing and preventing breakouts! Sucks when I'm mostly healed and bam another breakout that will take months to heal. Oh well, but I still see some hope now that my face ain't mashed up no more! All the best guys! (:
I hope no more big pimples after these >__<. I really don't want to break out on cheek anymore because it leaves scars. I'm still doing research and trying different things.
I ordered Lavender oil which is good for scars. I'm going to mix this with jojoba oil and apply on face, or just use lavender oil as a scars treatment. I only use jojoba oil in the shower, I don't use it as a moisturizer. I want to try sweet almond oil next. I will use it in the body only and see how it works. I do get zits on my back, just tiny ones that disappear in a day. I don't have any pimples on left cheeks.. just red marks, but on right cheek, I have like 4 active ones.. 2 little ones and 2 big ones. ;\
Update: I think one of them is a cystic because it is itching now which will be a big pimple ;; this is the wrong time to get it as I should expect interviews next week. Let's see if i can minimize it
My face has cleared up really well over the last week, my left side of my face is smooth and clear - the right side is more bumpy and red, especially where the cysts were. At least now make up will cover it so much better than how it's been the last few weeks - either a gigantic bump or a scabby nasty mess.
I have to go to two parties tonight and then a night club - I avoid these places at all costs because of my skin - but I think today I'm going to be more confident about myself. It's just for one night. I think I can do this. So I guess I'm feeling really good for the first time in a month.
I decided to use the webcam to take a picture of my shirt to post on FB, but I looked at my face and it was TERRIBLE . I looked worse than the mirror.
This is a HD 1080p webcam. I remember using this before when my skin looked good.. skin looked great, xcept for scars. Now it is a lot worse. Oh well. As a male, it is hard to cover red marks and scars. It is time to ignore my skin.. skin is screwed, so why should I care if I get new pimple. As long as I am eating healthy and exercising, I should careless.
