today was a miserable day with my skin. I've been on ziana/Biacna for a month now and don't see any improvement.
And today I had a child point out my acne ...straight up said to me "your whole face is covered in red dots!" I know kids don't know better and have no filter to what they say and I don't hate the kid I hate myself. That really hurt. I cant belive after ten years of this crap I havnt got it under control. I've tried everything. Every doctor I see prescribed something else, has another idea and for the next couple weeks I have new hope but nothing works. And I'm starting to feel that way about Biacna/ziana as well. As always I will wait it out till I'm told by the doctors it won't work for me and they'll prescribe something new. I just feel so low. I don't want to be that girl with acne. That fat girl with acne. I remember a time not long ago an older man asked my age. I said 21. He kinda laughed and said he would've guessed 15. I said I didn't know I looked that young. He pointed at my face and said well, you know, it's usually around 14, 15 you get all them zits... Ouch my self esteem. Oh wait . I don't have a self esteem. Nevermind
Sorry to hear nothing is working for you. I also had a little kid point out my acne the other day, she asked if I had chicken pox! Lol. I just want you to know that your acne in my opinion doesn't look THAT bad. I also have acne all over my face, mine is really deep rooted and in large patches and super red. I hope you find something that works soon so you can start feeling better.
This makes me so sad to read. I also have been struggling with acne since third grade (I'm going to be a junior in high school this upcoming year) and I know what it's like to try what seems like every product possible and then to have none of them work. My dermatologist tells me different things every appointment and it's just so frustrating to be spending all this money and all this time to just have zero results back. It really bothers me and makes me angry. It seems so unfair sometimes, looking at people who have never had to even think about having a single pimple in their whole life. In fourth grade I was basically the only one with acne. I would get called "acne girl" by some kid in my class, and it's been YEARS since then but the damage from that simple comment still sticks with me. Acne is easily one of the biggest confidence killers known to man and it just sucks having to deal with it when some people will never have to.
Hey girl, people suck sometimes. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. First off, your acne is not that bad at all!! Remember that your worth is not defined by acne. You will find something that works for you eventually and once that happens, your confidence will skyrocket. You need to have low lows to have the highest of highs! Keep your head up and remain hopeful. You WILL figure this out. Have you tried Retin-A Micro? It was the only topical that worked for me.
Accutane will get rid of all that. It's a long 6 months, but it's worth it. I'm on my 5th month and only have a couple spots left. Also, I started using sea salt spray and saw a lot of improvement. Just boil a tablespoon of sea salt in a bowl with 1 1/4 cup of distilled water, let it dissolve, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it on after you wash your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and then put on moisturizer. I do it every night before bed now.
