Getting some new pimples, don't feel like worrying about it.

I see some new bumps under skin. It's been 2-3 days since I search my face for bumps. Ignoring them does help a lot. They grow small instead of big.

So I will try my best not to look at these bumps under skin.

The only explanation I guess I have more me having a few new pimples if I've been smoking weed the past few days, and just the past day I've gotten pimples. I'm gonna cut out weed for now knowing it may be effecting me. I mean fuck. I just looked in the mirror, and my skin looks worse than it did this morning when I woke up. Seems more red and I see new pimples maybe coming up. Skin seems more oily too. OK. Im stopping smoking. I feel like I just got punched in the gut.

I make progress for a week, then its all taken away. I dont fucking get it. Ive had 4 pimples in the past 2 days, where as for the past week I had no new ones and red marks were fading day by day. I am considering adding sugar to my african black soap for a natural exfoliant because my skin is smooth, but has some rough dry spots on my cheeks and it seems those are the spots that are forming pimples, so maybe its just dead skin cells built up and needs to be exfoliated.

Not too bad. Well, my acne is almost completely gone. I still get a few pimples here and there so it doesn't really bother me too much. I have uneven skin tone and post-acne marks which I know how to get rid of because I've done it before. What happened was I stopped using the products like an idiot thinking I didn't have to apply anything on my face anymore. Now I'm back at stage 1 prepping my skin.

I have one active pimple, simply not worrying about it. I did a turmeric mask for the first time tonight. Hoping it helps my pimple, plus some of my scars. Wish me luck! Im going to buy this African blk soap, I heard works wonders. Im going to order it tomorrow, hopefully it works. I'm excited to try it. :) having a great weekend with my bf despite my skin being crap.

Having almost no acne and some PIH really makes a difference in my life... It's such a relief not worrying about my appearance for once..

I see lots of bumps just on left cheek, but trying not to worry about it. I think if I keep looking at it , I will stress which they form big. I hope I manage to forget about it. My skin is still very smooth though which is good.

Nothing too bad blemish-wise today for me. I have one big one on my right cheek that is drying up and dying, and I have one small one on my left cheek that I don't think will amount to much. The blemish I had on my forehead has finally cleared up, thankful for that because that one was annoying me most of all. I've been taking my probiotic doses 2 hours from when I take my antibiotic now so I think that is helping me. I noticed yesterday that towards the end of the day my skin gets pretty oily, but a quick dab with a tissue along my t-zone takes care of that and the oil doesn't seem to return for a long time. It's funny though, if it's not blemishes it's oily skin...can't win for losing lol.

Seeing people you havent seen since you've had your biggest breakout of your life is the worst.... their look on their face. like WTF happened to you. No words need to be said to tell what they are thinking.

I'm feeling a lot better about my skin as of late. Had a chat with my old therapist today on the phone and she made me feel a lot better too. My skin may not be perfect but it's looking a LOT better than it did six months ago, and if I got through that, then I can get through this! I'm just worried about sun exposure now....I don't want my face to get any darker, but I still want to go outside and feel the nice warm sun!! I put on SPF 60 and everything but sometimes I just get worried it won't help! Plus I'm going to Florida next week...I'm planning on re-applying SPF often and wearing a hat. I'm not taking chances anymore with sun exposure. Not only cause of PIH but cause of other sun damage/skin cancer too.

Annoyed......as soon as one goes down, 3 or more pop up with no rhyme or reason (not related to my cycle or identifiable foods). I'm tired of worrying about what i eat, when i sweat, etc, etc, etc. Wishing acne would just go away. Just started another regimen on Friday and have to wait another 3 months (maybe even longer) to see improvement. Just tired of fighting with this. At the same time, i am grateful to be alive and have the resources to continue this fight so thank God for that.

I got out tonight and went to a Yankee game with my aunt, cousin, and my cousins friend. It felt good to get out and do something different. I enjoyed myself. I had a couple beers and 2 cheeseburgers. I fucking deserve it for the lockdown ive put myself on for the past 6 months...and god knows I need the calories. Well see what happens with my skin. When my insurance kicks in, im going to get allergy tested to see if my body is sensitive or allergic to certain foods, so I can once and for all stop worrying "if I eat or drink this, will I wake up with new pimples?"

 

Does anyone know how to go about that? Do I need to go to a specialist and get blood work?
