just wanted to vent my feelings.
i'm turning 18 and i still have acne. i'm supposed to grow out of this but it's only getting worse. thought my face was getting better then bam cystic acne everywhere. i have scars now whereas before i only used to have hyperpigmentation.
i'm on my 13th week on retin a and it doesn't seem to be working. i'm also developing bacne.
WHY AM I SUCH A PIMPLY PERSON HAHA FUCK I'M SO MESSED UP
i cleared up for a while in the summer of 2014 and everything was rainbows and sunshine back then. i was even supposed to model then BAM my acne came back.
all my friends have clear skin. even my other friend who had acne before is clearing up. I HAT ETHIS .
still hoping the retin a will work.
I feel you. I'm 18, too. It's hard going out and doing anything when you feel like your face is bothering people. I can't even look people in the face when I talk to them. Bothers the shit out of me. And then this lady today kept tryina talk to me when I was tryina leave this GED place. She wouldn't leave me alone! She had to see how insecure I was, cuz I was freaking out looking the other way the whole time.
I hope things work out for you. For me, I went natural and got some tests done to figure out what was going on. I know it sucks, but hang in there!
I don't think the retin A will get rid of your cystic acne, cuz it sure then didn't do much for me other than make my face even more red. Like Melloman said, try finding what's causing your acne. It could be your diet, vitamin deficiency, allergies, bacteria, etc. Trust me you want to cure your acne ASAP or else youll develop even more severe acne scarring, which will shatter your self confidence for the rest of your life.
thanks guys! i'm gonna give retin a one more month bc i'm starting to see some improvements. also i've been taking vitamin supplements and will try taking niacin as some people have had success with that. thanks for the support and it feels good that i'm not alone in battling this despicable skin disease. wish the best to all of us
Watwat sup lol. I used Retin-a and Tazorac, every day for 3 months. And was left with prolonged healing weak skin, red marks that I never used to have,pink discolorated skin. My derm said I could eat whatever I wanted and that diet and acne have no correlation. But sadly that's not true from experience I know putting toxins in my belly from unhealthy food causes acne. And toxic chemicals on my face causes inflamed skin that will tear,scar easily. Please stop using this stuff ASAP and just change your diet. I went all organic fruits and veggies with a gallon of water everyday and all acne disappeared. Once you change your diet and acne is clear. The immune system can now function by healing the inflamed skin over time. The sooner you stop retin-a or any cream or pill the derms prescribe the sooner you will have clear skin with no red marks. It may take a year or two but just change your diet and you will be amazed... Good luck to you
