I am so tired of having a fucked up face. I used to be beautiful and confident. Always have been quiet but girls would approach me, I have nothing now. I can't live like this anymore. This all happened so quick. How can I still have problems almost 3 years after finishing accutane? My skin is so red and nasty It fucking sucks. All my life I had this perfect view of myself and then one day I woke up with cysts on my face and everyday I would watch them multiply until my face is fucked.
Does microdermasion do anything? Like the home kit at walmart? Laser treament? I'll drop whatever money. I don't have anything else to live for anyway, the anxiety, depression, mind fucking this acne had created has been part of losing tons of friends and my self. and I blame these god damn doctors for one. you make six figures a year for what?
Should I try and do a chemical peel? What's the best option for scarring, redness, lines, all that bullshit.
Every dermatoligst I've spoken to is so unhelpful. I got into heated arguments with one for giving me these nasty topicals that make my face even more red. My new one stands on the other end of the room and prescribes bullshit that probably makes him more money. I'm sure he has some sort of contract through differin and says that no matter what.
There's a user on YouTube who did Accutane and it didn't work. He did laser and it was ineffective too. He said his solution was chemical peeling but he still has the scars from his acne because he had SERIOUS acne. Like probably some of the worst I've ever seen.
read the caption too. I know nothing about chemical peeling at all but if this guy said it works maybe you can look into it if you're that desperate
Acne is still not well understood. It's largely a "first world" disease that only has become epidemic in society in the last 50 years. (My grandparents don't even know what acne is.) In medical school terms, that is no time at all to research and develop and test a cure.
Anyway, don't hate on the doctors too much. I know how you feel, I've spent around 30 grand trying to cure severe, debilitating acne for over ten years. I only cleared up my face less than a year ago using a medication that most dermatologists have never heard of.
I can't tell from your post if your problems are scars (like boxscar scars, rolling scars, indents, etc.) or redness or if you still have active acne. Many people get "Accutane-induced rosacea", which is basically permanently broken veins on the skin. For either bad scars or redness, though, the only cure is laser treatment. Laser is pretty effective assuming you just have scars left and no active acne. The vein lasers will heat up the broken veins so they coagulate and disappear. Fractional lasers basically resurface the skin for indented scars.
I feel for you man. I may not know exactly what kind of acne you have( I like to look at pictures to make good suggestions), or exactly your feelings on it (although im sure they are negative) but I just want to simply say I know some of what you are going through and that there is always hope.
Im so sorry. I know you have probobaly heard this before but you aren't alone. I too have huge issues with my skin and self esteem. I want you to know that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. I once had the most horrible looking skin ; red; flaky ;oliy; bumpy; 30+ whiteheads allover. There were times where it would literaly hurt to smile because of all the bumps I had on my cheeks. But through +7 years of trial and error I found the right balance of both knowledge and treatment to make my skin bearable - not perfect.
If you want help finding good products(i have darn near tried it all) or just someone to talk to, im here for you, as are many people in the Acne.org community.
