I for one wouldnt judge you. I am not that type of person especially if the person treats me well. Its nice to be pretty but it isnt THE most important thing. There are plenty of people who are pretty but they are mean on the inside. Id rather have a respectful person over a person who is gorgeous but has no personality to show for it. Looks are not everything. Ill be :praying: for you that you get your differin. I know how physically painful pimples are so hopefully you will get something to help you too 🙂Aww, thanks, Molly! And I hope things keep improving everyday for you! Speaking of which, how are things today?
Youre certainly welcome! You are quite the benevolent young woman 🙂
Eh its okay. I have those small white bumps on my cheeks still and I am getting them on my chin and along my jawline. The only place I dont have them is on my nose and on my forehead. I have a new nodule next to my nose on top of my blackheads =/ I also have a new pimple under my lip blaaaah! Im so tired of these lip pimples. I dont know wtf is causing them but they hurt like hell!
Things have definitely improved for you over the last few days. Your skin tone is so even now! The breakouts you're experiencing may be your pores unclogging from the sulfur product. Do you know whether or not a bit of purging is expected with Clenia?
I havent the slightest idea
I'm seeing definite improvements Molly! That means your products are working well for you. I bet in another week you will barely remember what your skin looked like when you started the sulfur! I would say continue doing what you've been doing because it's been working. 😀
Its sort of working. There are some papules on the right side of my face though that have not made an improvement at all.
Doesn't picking your face hurt, anyway? I don't usually put my hand in the fire just for fun.
Im going through a very hard time right now. I dont need you preaching to me. Just because you dont pop and or pick your pimples doesnt everyone with acne doesnt. I am on a medicine, I wont say the name. My dr and I are gonna discuss a dosage increase soon. He thinks I should have it increased because the doseage might not be high enough for me. It is causing me to have OCD and mania, bipolar disorder and bodydysmophoric disorder and also ADHD symptoms which is something I dont have. I do have a learning disorder but not ADHD. Its giving me that 😆
Great, just when I thought my face was getting better from the antibiotics and less washing, its getting worse! I have three pimples with heads along my lipline and I have a bunch of papules on my chin and along my jawline! I am so fed up with this stupid skin disease! I fucking hate this! I am starting to lose hope and worry I will have acne forever! My face looks like a freaking rash! Im about to upload pics in a minute
Okay here we go
sorry this one is kind of blurry but I am too exhausted and stressed to retake it
Maybe it's just the pictures, but your face isn't looking much different to me... How long have you been using Clenia now? I think the first few weeks of using a new product is a lot of purging, which may be what you're experiencing right now.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time right now, Molly. =[ Most people I know do in the first month or two of using a new product, but usually it starts improving dramatically from there. Try to stick it out, the results will hopefully be very worth it!!
I wasn't preaching. If you had read it properly, you would have seen that I asked a question. I don't mean it with offense, I just being direct with what I'm wondering and feeling.
No that seemed like a rhetorical question you knew the answer to. I didnt know you were actually asking me that as a real question you expected me to give you an answer to. Of course popping pimples hurts but it hurts more when the puss just stays on my face. When I pop them I feel relieved because the puss and blood comes out

Ive been on both the clenia and the Cefadroxil for a week and a day. I started it them last thursday after I had my derm appointment. I hoep the purging goes away because the purging with spiro didnt end. I was on that for two months until I gave up because I didnt have a period for a long time and I just didnt like how it made me feel either. I was going to bed at 8pm which is too damn early! Usually I got to sleep at eleven which is in couple of minutes. Thank you! Please :pray: for me that these products work and I will too
Goodnight Deadbeat007! Hopefully, we can chat on the org tomorrow? Do you have a facebook account by the way? I am addicted to that site! Id love to add you as a friend there and we can chat on there as well as on the org but not via pming. I dont like pming on acne.org. My inbox gets filled up sooooooooooo fast!
No, I don't have a Facebook account. I might make one, but I don't know if I can be bothered to keep checking it. xP
I hope things start improving for both of us. I've been very down lately, too -- I'm avoiding leaving the house and I just feel awful now that I might have Rosacea or something like that. Things will hopefully get better.

I didn't know the answer to that question. Our type of acne is different, as well as the type of acne we have on our faces. I'm guessing pus-filled ones hurt less/more than skin-colored ones. But that's the thing, I never tried for all of them so I don't know what types of acne hurt more to ich or pop.
I do wish you luck. I do hope you know that, I'm with you! I'm just a little blunt with things.

Well on facebook there is a place where you can set it so you get an e-mail notication when someone sends you a message. Its like acne.org
Yeah I hate leaving the house too. I dont really care what strangers think of my face but it really gets to me when I like someone and they degrade me like that. "What happened to your face?! What are you doing? You have so many rashes!!!" That is really hurtful and not only that its humiliating. This one LVN has said that to me three times on three different days and I keep getting really angry and lashing out at her. Im like, "THIS IS NOT TO BE A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION ANYMORE! I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE! STOP IT! YOU ARE HUMILIATING ME!" No one likes attention drawn to their flaws or disability or anything. Its embarressing and Im embarressed to work with these ignorant people who dont know how to act polite.

Its okay. I understand now! I am very blunt with things too. No I have skin colored pimples too. I have a lot of papules and pustules.
Poor Molly
I like to pick too, pain just makes it more satisfying when the stuff comes out for me.
Hopefully things will start getting better for you with this new stuff then. Sorry to hear about the problems your having with your medication, I hope your doctor sorts out the right dosage for you. A lot of people think stress has an effect on skin so who knows, getting the dosage right might have a positive effect for you?
Do you find that when your feeling more relaxed your skin looks better?

Thank you for comforting me! I really needed that! My skin looks like such crap, I cant stand peoples commetary, and I am just going through a really difficult time with life in general lately. Yes, but Im not relaxed very often. I have had anxiety problems most of my life, severe anxiety. I wouldnt be surprised if that is the main cause of my acne
I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face. I will not pick my face 😀
Keep going back to http://www.stoppickingonme.com/ to renew your resolve.
It must be tough for you, I think sometimes doctors don't really understand how stress and anxiety can make even the most simple everyday activities a challenge.
Sometimes it can be a vicious cycle, you feel bad about your skin so you get more stressed and the more stress you feel the more your skin looks worse. But at least your doctor is willing to try new things with you and hopefully the products will start working for you with regular use.
I'm sending my good thoughts.

I dont understand what you mean by renew my resolve. Please paraphrase

Thank you! That is exactly how I am feeling. I have become so dependent because I do not trust myself and dont feel I can do things on my own. I wish I could be independent but I lonely and feel like I always need feedback to help me get through things. Depression isnt something I want to be through alone; neither is acne. Im glad my derm is working with me and not against me. He couldve argued but Ive tried everything on you and you cant even take accutane. He couldve done that but he is really nice and patient. I do not need anymore stress than I already have. Thank you so much for understanding me snoopyismyimaginaryfriend
Im not ignorant Wynne. I just didnt understand your sentence because I cannot read. The way you worded it sounded funny to me and I couldnt comprehend it. I am going through a mid life crisis with this stupid Celexa Ive been on for almost five years and I also have a learning disability. Im having a difficult time concentrating. I know what renew means and I know what resolve means. You dont need to teach me that :rolleyes:
