Day 1:

Age 27 (nearly 28)

Medication: co-cyprindiol lymecycline epiduo

Having had my meds and birth control changed I am now on a three pronged mission to fight acne. I hope by sharing my experience and photos I can help others and draw support from others in my position.

I have included a picture of my skin this morning. I mainly suffer cysts around my mouth and chin, blackheads on my nose and around my mouth. I have started scarring and have a lot of hyper pigmentation. Having finally seen a doctor yesterday who took my acne seriously I am eagerly awaiting changes for the better in my condition!
