So i just picked my face! Ugh! I hate when i do that. sad.png I hope I don't scar.....can't stand having clogged pores. Fml!

 

 

I have been picking lately. For me, it's those blackheads you think you can get but they are too deep - so I try and give up and they turn into a zit. I usually never pick but since my skin blew up I have been. NO MORE NOW.

I usually try hard not to pick due to my scarring, I scar easily. Lol and i have Whitehead's under the skin and if I see a chance of getting it out, I definitely take it! Lol but yeah if u mess with blackheads too much, they turn into pimples, worst feeling ever! Have you tried Indian healing clay?

I'm going to the Dermatologist today for follow-up, am not sure though if she'll give me anything for the marks and all.. but yeah I'm hoping, I mean that sure is a sign that somehow am getting progress with my current state since last time she didn't advice me its like too early to treat on the red marks since my acne are all like active. =/

Isn't acne just so exhausting? Always having to buy stuff, go to doctor visits, etc. Its never ending....well I hope your condition gets better and your clear soon. We all deserve to be acne free and happy. :)

I feel ya, yeah but I guess we do have our own battles in life that we need to overcome... a matter of time and good judgement to get there. Its just hard when you get down, getting sad when you feel like missing out things you should and others are enjoying in their young adult life because of acne... but life do moves on from then, as we I read over awhile ago haha over William Faulkner speech...

 

 

 

"I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail.

 

 

 

...he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance."

 

 

Though Faulkner may not be pertaining about acne or so haha, I mean its motivating. Oh sorry I ramble, but thanks for the support, I'll post an update on my condition whenever I can so. =)

Murph, maybe try turmedic? It makes your skin yellow, but the results are great if it works for you. Since you're gonna see a derm soon, you can't yet. I hope he can help you.

I hate blackheads.. I never had them and then got a lot on my forehead and every single of them turned into pimples, very bad ones.. cystic, it was awful. Now I have some ugly scars that it is still red and lots of little ones. I don't wanna show my forehead anymore. All the blackheads have vanished since I used Indian Aztec healing clay and some SA 2%.

 

PS: I never tried to pop blackheads.. they were deep anyways.

Its basically for everything, pimples,blackheads, irritated skin,even acne scars. Its a clay mask, and its great for taking our all your impurities and stuff. Plus its super cheap. Like 5 bucks!

I actually want to try turmeric! I want to order is soon. Lol but yeah blackheads are the worst! If u can't get it out overtime it will turn into a nasty pimple that hurts! I get the occasional clogged pore that doesn't have a blackhead or nothing, just a white bump. :/ they are worse. Indian healing clay is great, I'm trying to use it like 3 times a week. Do u still use SA?

I liked Turmeric, but it made my skin yellowish. My mother noticed it. I love how my skin felt. I add a bit when I mix Indian healing clay. I also add 2-3 drops of tea tree oil. I did more research and learned a bit more. I do use the clay like 3-4 times a week. I don't use SA anymore because I don't like the ingredient. It has alcohol.

Gotta be strong and drink it with coconut water! I just drink it fast.. ha ha. It taste so bad, but I am starting to get used to it.. still very bad.. but oh well.

It is good for you. I am trying to drink 1-2 tsp Turmeric at least 3-4 times a week because I hate the taste :( I hope to increase my intake.

I picked up some pills. It's tumeric powder just in a pill. Man does this stuff stink. I've read reviews that some people got really good quick results with it with their rosacea. Man that'd be amazing. Even if it doesn't work it's at least healthy and good for my immune system

Just keep applying it. It should fall off before your school starts or a day later. That's the best thing for scabs or also try honey.

a cluster of zits is turning white - which is always good cos you can pop them (or in my case now, I don't really go anywhere hah, I just let them dry out) and it means they're coming to the end of their cycle. So I am feeling okay!

 

My face looks calmer since stopping the aloe. I hate to think that was the culprit but I guess it was.

Ughh - As soon as one area seems to clear up, another decides to break out badly...

I'm wanting to go back to BP because at least when using that my acne wasn't as bad as it is now without it... but I'll wait a while longer

I'm taking zinc supplements again - the brand I'm taking has a small amount of vitamin A in them also - and I also take vitex agnus-castus (herbal supplement)

I've been taking both for a while now - probably 1-2 months - but there hasn't really been a difference in my skin I don't think

 

I've also started looking into light therapy for treating acne (not just scars). I don't really know much about it but there are some light devices you can buy and use at home. If anyone knows anything about these it'd be great if you could let me know :)

 

Hope you're all finding something to smile about (despite the annoyance of acne)

I woke up the other day to a couple of small but painful cystic pimples near my sideburns on the left side of my face. Other than that, my skin's clearing up in some parts, but I tend to get one or two tiny whiteheads on my forehead and chin. I'm on the right track, I guess.

I have to take this turmeric the worst way.. ha ha. Well, at least it taste a little better with coconut water. I saw people take it with water.

I dunno how long I will be taking turmeric, I should at least try to drink 1-2 tbsp 2-3 times a week.

I have my prom in 5 days and my face is looking awful, I feel like crying every time I look at myself in the mirror. Despite having the perfect dress and accessories, all I can think about is how crap my face is going to look - black marks all over my face from pimples (I have Indian skin so PIH is so hard to cover up ) and tons of spots everywhere.

I don't even want to show my face to anyone; I hate how much acne affects me. I should be happy and enjoying life, but no, I'm sat in my room feeling sorry for myself and trying random things like ACV in the hope that some sort of miracle will happen. Not likely.

Im so sorry you feel bad. please dont skip your prom you will always regret it.

Just cover up the best you can look cute in your dress/hair and remember your friends love you for YOU .

Anyway probs are usually low-lighting anyway 😉

 

I didnt have this problem at my proms, which I am grateful for. I didnt start to get seriously botherd by acne until I was older. yup, 30 year old with acne its getting SO old :-I

Will say prayers for you to heal very fast!
