Wow!!!! This thread is old but it has got me annoyed enough to comment. Comments like this do not help those coming to this Forum in search of help, support and advice. All you are doing is making the...

I think we all have got our share of comments and blame for our acne so we totally understand how you feel. However just cause some idiot cannot keep her mouth shut please don't think you have to go o...

Liam, I was where you are now about 10 years back. There was not a patch of clear skin on my face. So I feel for you, I really do. I would not normally say this but I think you can visit a doctor and ...

Accutane will not cause birth defects after you have stopped taking it. But there are other major issues with the drug which you need to be aware of. As TheBean says it is the last resort. Have you tr...

Vitamin C has actually helped heal my acne rather than trigger it. So go ahead and take vitamin C.

One of the first things to heal my skin was honey mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg. Before that I had never touched any kind of spice to my face. Here is an article that explains what spices can be used...

First I want to tell you that you are not alone. I had exactly the same problem. My then boyfriend ( now husband) had the most beautiful skin while I used to never let anyone see me without makeup. Wh...

As much as you feel you have no hope right now that your skin will get better, remember that there are many lovely people out here who have found a cure for their acne. I understand from reading throu...

Actually leaving my face alone to heal helped me as well. Acne products just made my skin dry, sensitive and irritated. I stopped using all acne products in May 2012. I can honestly say that the very ...

Please do not think about hurting yourself. I had acne since I was 12. At the time there was no internet where I could get access to a wonderful community like this. You do! Your boyfriend is with yo...

I understand completely what you are going through. Acne is HORRIBLE, not life threatening but a horrible thing to deal with. Many of the people here have gone through the same and understand you. Don...

The symptoms you describe do not sound normal. That sounds exactly like the reaction I had to BP. My skin got itchy and I had to go get an anti-allergy tablet to stop the itching and burning. To sooth...

I am not sure what supplements can be used but I once heard that spearmint tea is a great natural way to balance your hormones.

If you say that the cysts are healing quicker I would take that as a good sign. One thing I've figured from talking to people is that everyone heals differently. Also from my experience even eating a ...

Sorry about your struggle with acne. That's a lot of treatments you have tried. Just one question, is the Paleo diet not helping at all? Are you seeing no results?

Thanks for sharing. Glad you found out what caused your acne. Mine was sugar. I suffered for about 20 years before I figured it out.

If you feel your skin looks better without makeup, stop using it or use on alternate days. However, for faster healing try not wearing makeup for a week and see how your skin responds. As for people, ...

Looks like you already are the envy of your friends because of how smart you are. And you will find someone who loves you. In the meantime remember that this community is there to help. I have no idea...

I really feel for you. Sending you a lot of love. Remember we are all here to support you and help you whenever you feel low. Clear skin is possible. Many of the people here have cured the most sever...

That is a lot of products!! I would recommend stopping all of them save for one or 2. They seem to be doing you more harm than good. Get your makeup off with a mild and simple cleanser. I used to use ...

BP tends to do that. Cure some breakouts while others are totally immune to it. For me what helped was applying honey on the breakouts that BP could not cure.

BP never worked for me either. Unfortunately, I thought if I just used it consistently my breakouts would heal. Ended up with a chemical burn. It was so bad that I had to visit the derm. My advice is ...

Try avocado oil instead of jojoba. Jojoba tends to be a little astringent. Maybe you should take a break from the regimen and see how your skin responds to it.

I had the same problem with BP. Got a chemical burn. I had used it for about 2 years before with no problem. Guess it was too much for my skin. Same thing happened with tea tree oil. Till today I can'...
