About a month for me. BP left my skin all dry, red and itchy. Actually I helped it along by applying honey and eating healthy.

So happy you found what works for you. Just out of curiosity how long do you plan to take sprintec?

You are a normal kid, acne or no acne. Remember that. However, it made me feel really sad when you said you practice basketball only on Sundays as that is when the court is empty. You are a young boy ...

So I was not a very healthy eater until I realized that my acne is connected to my diet. I then cut out sugar. It was really hard initially and I slipped back a lot. The only real motivation came one ...

5 months cycle of antibiotics seems a lot. Just to tell you my experience but my system got messed up with even a 10 day dose and my acne got worse after that. What might help right now is probiotics...

Think when I was on birth control

Try dabbing honey on it so that it heals and does not scar.

No, not really. It just made my skin red and irritated but did nothing for my acne. As I kept using more I developed an allergy to it and ended up with hives and itching.

Try applying a thin layer ( to start with) of Benzoyl Peroxide. Start with a small patch to make sure you are not allergic to it or it does not cause any reaction. If not you can apply organic honey,...

So sorry to hear about this. Here's hoping that your son is ok now and he continues to get better.

So I had these bumps on my forehead a long long time. More like 3-4 years. Nothing I did ever got rid of them. Lasers, peels, antibiotics etc. Nothing ever worked. One day I was frustrated and decided...

Sounds like me 5 years back. I had all these bumps on my forehead so long. Even peels and lasers could not get rid of them. Here is what worked. 1. Cutting out all sugar from my diet 2. Applying a ...

People looking at my pimples is common among those of us who have acne. Trust me you are 14 and I have been exactly where you are when I was your age. You can try home remedies for acne such as honey...

To clear acne fast try and cut out sugar and also take a vitamin C supplement. Pretty sure your acne will clear up when you are on holiday. My acne always gets better on holiday, sun or no sun.

Hi Alisha. Sorry about the people who tease you. I had acne when I was 14 and I understand how you feel. Acne is not your fault. Ignore what people say. Sorry to tell you this but it may or may not go...

Confidence comes with practice and it's more a state of mind than state of your skin. I have seen people with really bad skin with killer confidence and people with great skin with zero confidence. It...

Relate completely. But you know what I learnt, that if I keep quiet about comments, people just make more of them. I was brought up to never comment on a person's appearance. But other people obviousl...

Congrats to you both. I had horrible, severe acne from the age of 14 till I was 36 and told my husband some of the same things. He never had acne and does not know how it feels. But like you, he made ...

You're amazing and someone who has decided not to let acne run/ruin her life. You have posted in the right place. People need to hear you. It's like I always tell people, your life is in your hands, a...

People are superficial but guess what you find them all over the world. You will also find genuine people just that you have to look a bit. You suppress all the natural instincts of people and put the...

Maybe. When you think about acne it is by no means a pleasant thought. Rather it stresses you out. More stress can cause acne. Try and relax and do not fret so much about everything. Also your diet an...

I know right now you seem to be in a really bad state, but if you want help please listen. Please do not pop any of your pimples. That just aggravates your skin and the acne and spreads the acne. Fol...

I've had bumps for months like you do. And nothing worked not even a cortisone shot. However what worked for me was raw honey applied to it for about 2 hours a day for a week. Even the most stubborn b...

You're right, antibiotics are never the answer for acne. However you do seem to have tried it all. My best answer would be spiro. Both BC pills and Accutane cause a lot of problems.
