I thought I would never post here, but I guess I need to vent. Im not a native speaker so Im sorry for all my grammar mistakes.

I am 18 year old guy (19 in 1 month) and my acne problems started in November 2012 (I was 17). I started to get more and more pimples. I searched on my local forums and bought couple of medicaments, but they didnt work any good. So in January 2013 I decided to go to my Dermatologist. She gave me some antibiotics, which worked for a couple of months and then they were getting weaker. So I went there again and again but all the drugs which she gave me worked only a limited time, or didnt work at all. Last time I was there (July 3rd) she gave me Skinoren and Zineryt, but I dont think they help too much. I also use every morning and night Bioderma Sebium Gel Moussant. I read that diet affects acne so I dont drink milk, I also dont eat chocolate and I try to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and also drink a lot of water. My acne might have a connection with celiac disease, which I thought I had, since I had a digestion problems (diarrhea) when I was eating gluten. But I got myself checked (panendoscopy) and they found out that I dont have celiac disease. But my brother who also has celiac disease was also negative from this examination, but they found out from blood sample that he has celiac disease. The doctor told me to eat probiotics which helped me a lot with the abdominal pain, but I still have acne. Btw I also take vitamins A and D and also Zinc, but so far it hasnt improved my skin.

In this article I am going to explain how acne affected my life.

Ive lost all friends and every day is a bad day for me. When I wake up I hope that my skin has improved, however the only thing which I see in the mirror is a new pimple. I have never been to any party. When my friends (when I still had some) asked me to go with them somewhere I always said no and told them some excuse. I missed a lot of weddings, family trips and so on. Its very tough to see other people with perfect skin, when my face is so ugly. I envy all the people with clear skin. They dont even realize how lucky they are. Its especially tough during summer, when you see all the young people having fun. I cant even find a part time job, due to my condition. When somebody talks about having problems with knee or arm I always say to myself: its nothing compared to acne, I would rather have that instead of acne. And also when you go to a doctor and you have almost any other problem expect of acne, it is not visible, but when you go to doctor with acne, everybody knows in the waiting room what your problem is.

Fortunately almost nobody in my high school pointed out my pimples. Its mostly because I have been using a little skin corrector and I always covered my pimples. But sometimes its very visible despite of the corrector. College on the other hand was so far more difficult as we had in the summer term mandatory swimming. And you can imagine how much I hated it. Fortunately it was only one term and wont be again.

To sum up:

I know I written this very chaotic, but what I meant to say was that everybody who doesnt have acne should be grateful and thank God that he/she has a clear skin.
