hi there

so im new, and putting on a brave face which i assure is different from how i really am atm!

and that is of course because of acne...else i wouldnt be here heh

buuuut like so many others im sure, its really....controlling and taking over my whole life.

looking back i had very mild acne only 6 months ago or something, but i thought it was awful. i have had acne since i was 12, and was given ISOTREXIN which helped a lot, so i had mild acne, maybe 2-4 visable spots at a time. i wish now i had just left it! but i didnt. it was bugging me so i went back to my GP at 17.

she gave me co cyprindiol and duac. i feel like i didnt see it at all, it was subtle enough that i feel like i simply looked in a mirror after 4 months, and had a breakdown. my skin was a lot worse. around 12 pussy spots were all over the place, mainly my chin. i was really distraught, so i went back.

the GP has taken me off duac and the pill, prescribing me tetralysal and differin instead. ive only been on this for 3 weeks but i dont know what to think. all my spots have become bright sore red marks, covering both my cheeks. im not really sure if their scars, but theyre certainly not healing in the slightest. the differin seems to be irrating my skin but i cant be sure if thats whats meant to happen...its making under the skin spots which i know in a bout a week will probably pop forward in pussy glory.

i dont know what i want to hear to be honest!i just... would like to know if anyone can recomend anything. do you think i should go back on to my first treatment, isotrexin? or is it too late for that now so i should stick with these tetralysal tablets...?

any words at all would be a great help. i just hate what i see in the mirror and would like to change that
