Feeling really down, even if it is one pimple this always happens the week before my period and I'm on birth control. I had a panic attack about it yesterday when I was at work. I was worried that it...

I had depression before getting acne but it's definitely gotten worse. I also have an anxiety disorder, a little OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, and suffer from anorexia nervosa. So yeah, acne screwed ...

Ugh yes I have one right now. It's really really painful. These are the worst and take forever to go away

I was just at the mall today and I noticed the same thing! Seeing girls with absolutely no makeup on makes me so jealous! I really wish I could be like them and not have to worry about putting makeup ...

Well I was feeling okay earlier today. The one I had on my forehead and chin earlier in the week were going away. Later on in the day though, I developed two new ones along my right jawline. Ugh! I am...

It took about 2 weeks for my skin to get irritated and dry.

Hey I use CeraVe Foaming moisturizer in the morning as well as at night. In the morning I was prescribed Acanya gel (a form of BP) and Atralin (similar to Retin-A) at night. It's been about a month an...

I wouldn't necessarily say you have depression. I feel like being upset about having acne is normal. We aren't supposed to like it. With that said, acne does not make you ugly. Facial structure and yo...

I know it's really hard and it is extremely difficult to have a social life when we have acne but the truth is, a lot of people don't notice it. We are our own worst critics. Before I tell anyone that...

Personally the only thing I've found to help lighten my PIH marks is tretinoin cream. It's technically an acne treatment but it also helps heal marks faster. Also, make sure you wear sunscreen so the ...

Hey I used Mederma on some of my acne scars in the past. i did see a small improvement but it was difficult to tell because I was still struggling with existing acne at the time.

My skin is very sensitive when I use something like makeup wipes. Now, I just use CeraVe foaming facial cleanser and it washes the makeup right off without irritating my skin.

Use the BP in the morning and tretinoin at night. Be prepared for your skin to be irritated and dry for the first few weeks. After about two weeks though, your skin gets used to it so just remember to...

It just sounds like a temporary allergic reaction from what you described. Just stop using the product and I think you will be okay.

I am currently on Acanya in the morning ( which is clindamycin phosphate) and Atralin at night, which is apparently the same as Retin A. It's only been a week so far and I haven't seen any initial pu...

The only thing I can suggest is that you visit the dermatologist so they can figure out the root cause of your acne. It sounds like it might be hormonal.

Not feelin' so great. I'll be the first to admit that I used to be vain. I was never mean. I never pointed out if anyone had an acne problem, or a big nose, or maybe needed to lose a few pounds. I was...

I use Bare minerals but it's kinda expensive...

hey i looked at your photos and your acne is seriously not that bad. we are our own worst critics. i definitely think you could treat your acne pretty easily, just make an appointment with a derm. in ...

I agree the world really is a sad place. By that, I mean the people in it. People care so much about material things and physical appearance, that they don't care about anything else. In my social psy...

IKR! That stuff is amazing. I'm not completely clear yet but the Lerosett clay mask has helped so much! Congrats on finally finding something that works for you.

Hey I can totally relate. I've stopped therapy awhile ago but I was diagnosed with BDD (body dysmorphic disorder). Even before I started getting acne, I was depressed for years. Ultimately, because of...

I admit that it is reassuring to know that even models or celebrities can relate to having acne. At the same time though, it doesn't help because all the people around me DO have flawless skin And tha...

The past few days I haven't really thought about my acne at all. It seemed like it was clearing up. The left side of my face is close to perfect. Knock on wood. And my nose and forehead are pretty cle...

I really really wish I could help. But all I can say is that you are not alone. It's hard to keep up hope but that's what you've got to do. Just keep hoping. And trying.
