I guess it did get pretty bad probably about 6 months ago, and I was OBSESSED with a 'cure'. I only said things here and there, I'm kind of proud to talk about it. Idk.

Then today he sees something about something new for acne online, one of those things we've all seen a million times before that costs a bunch of $$$ and is obviously bs. But he pointed it out to me. Thing is, I'm doing really great right now, almost clear.

The few times I've asked him he said it doesn't bother him, he just hates that it bothers me.

I don't know what to think now. Maybe it bothers him more than he lets on. :(

It sounds like he just knows it bothers you, saw the information, and thought you would like to know about it. It doesn't mean it bothers him at all- it just means he knows it bothers you. Cut him some slack and thank him for the information. Now if he makes fun of it or berates you about it, that's a different story all together.

It probably just took him that long to "click" in his brain. You were obsessed about it for a while, he happened to see something on TV recently, and was trying to help. Don't make it more than it is. He's not making any judgement on the severity of your acne today by trying to help, he's just reacting to months of you looking for a cure.

Green Gables I think you are right, it does take awhile for things to 'click' in his head, especially in regards to me. I didn't think of that before, thank you :)
