Hi Everyone =)

I've had acne since I was in fourth grade. My acne has been through cycles, I feel like slowly it's receding down my face. At first I had it only on my forehead. Then I had it really bad on my cheeks, and now it's moving down towards my jaw. On a good day my acne is mild, and when it's really bad it is moderate- to slightly severe. I mostly get nodules and cystic like acne that leaves indented scarring and can sometimes last for months. I have tried just about everything, and the only thing that worked was a combination of spiro and bc, but unfortuntley I had to go off because I had a blood clot in my right subclavian vein and pulmonary embolism.

Since then, my acne has died down a little and the only medication I was on was Finacea. Yet for the past couple of months, I've just been using dove soap and my clarisonic, and it's been mostly clear. (except around that time, or when something touches my face D:) I have not been on accutane, and I've been thinking about it. But I have a lot of medical problems, and my derm is iffy since a) i can't go on bc. b) i'm diagnosed with depression and bdd, and c) i clot easily, and my lung has collapsed from a spontaneous pneumothorax in the past year. So accutane is pretty much out of the question.

What I could use help with are good scar treatments for hyperpigmentation and shallow rolling scars. I could also use help with finding a good moisturizer and sunscreen that won't break me out. Sorry it was so long, and thank you for reading =) You can message me anytime if you have a question about related skin issues, or bdd problems =)
