Long story short, I started breaking out in October last year, so it's already been one full year of me with acne, but it's been both annoying and depressing at times, but now I personally don't care what people think of my skin. So, judging by the pictures, would you say it's bad enough to go on accutane? I don't know what to do anymore after trying several products and antibiotics.
Thanks.
Note: A few of the spots are actually freckles and have had them since I was little. Also, I just woke up, so ignore the hair and scruffy facial hair, as well as my groggy appearance. Went to a music festival last night, so I'm beat.
I agree with ^- great attitude- we should all be more like you. And yea, I def WOULD NOT call that servere- in fact I'd be more inclined to say mild before moderate. And if this just showed up in the past year-- I would try to think of major changes in your diet, stress levels, daily activities etc.. there might be a connection. Then again, there might not and it might just be an unexplained hormonal change. Try supplementing with vitamins and give it a week or two. If nothing changes I'd encourage visiting your local derma. best of luck!!!
Thank you all for the feedback.
Yeah, I got to a stage where I just tried my best to do what makes me happy, so that probably explains the positive attitude. It's not easy, but it's paying off. My lifestyle could be better though. I'm an athlete and play quite a lot of sport, yet due to unknown depression and sadness at times, as well as a bit of stress from school, I only get 1-5 hours sleep every night. My diet was terrible until around early this year, but it's improved significantly, yet still need to eat a bit healthier from time to time. About the scarring, I was an idiot and popped my pimples whenever I saw them forming from October-December, but I stopped all of that and try my best to take care of them, but I haven't looked into any scarring treatments as of yet, so I'll definitely take note of them. I just hope they're not permanent.
Again, thank you all for the feedback. Much appreciated guys.
Note: I'm only 17 years old. Not that it makes any difference, but just in case any of you were wondering.

Your situation sounds similar to mine. I have a lot on my shoulders as well due to school and work. I barely sleep. I stay up in bed literally trying to figure out why i can't sleep 🙁
If you really wanna eat healthier, i suggest you read the book Green For Life. You can find it on Amazon for like $7. It's literally a book (not boring) about eating healthy and these really delicious "green" smoothies made of veggies and fruits. physically & mentally, it's a great benefit. I just started reading it and I've been so inspired 😀
ANOTHER TIP haha, for the scarring there is this scar gel from Vietnam i think, definitely somewhere in Asia. It's called 'Hiruscar'. I've read some really great reviews and decided to order it. Should get here any day.
good luck with everything!
