Hello there, my name is Andrew. I'm 22 years old, and I've been battling Acne on and off since I was 12 years old. In Middle school, had some facial acne, wasn't too drastic. I overcame that without scarring, through high-school it was primarily back acne, and a few whiteheads on my face. I thought all was
primarily well, and good till I moved to North Carolina in 2013. I then had a major breakout that I've battled up until recently. Past 3 years have been hell, I started out with the Dermatologist method, anti-biotics, shit like that, all of that just suppressed the problem, and made my next breakouts much worse. For the past year I've been going the natural route, eating better, cutting out synthetics, Genetically modified foods, and most meats; sticking to mainly alkaline Fruits, Berries, and melons. Overcoming this hump, I feel a lot better, but like most of you here, we have to deal with the scarring side-effect. That's why I joined this site. So, I'll begin chronicling my scars. Feel free to give me perspective about my scars, and tell me how you treated yours!

These pictures were taken a few days ago, I've been trying to grow out facial hair off and on. I have some bald patch problems in some places, but it's steadily improving. I find growing some facial hair helps with the scarring, I shave when I go through heavy exfoliation.
