Acne is very much genetic as well as hormonal - so if your mum had acne at your age, you are very likely to be in the same boat. Hormones fluctuate all the time, but it's worse for women [generally ...

If you ask me, 2 out of 10 people is a lot, for any illness. What other chronic illness is so common as acne? Almost everyone is affected by it at least once in there lives, everyone has had the occas...

You don't suffer from kidney disease, do you?

I know how stubborn non-inflammatory acne is, because it's mostly what I have. I have blackheads that have been there for 5-7 years! I don't know about your beautician, as most will agree that it is i...

Bloody hell! So that is another thing that I greatly enjoy will have to give up! So what else? No working out! No sugar, no diary, no take-aways, no bread, no pasta, no rice! No sex, no masturbation! ...

It's not a lie. Benzoyl peroxide is one of the oldest and most effective treatments there is for mild/moderate acne. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but no one said it was a cure either. How is diet...

Looks like mild acne to me. Are you still going to be using the Proactiv? This is how you do a skin routine: 1. Cleanser 2. Toner [if you use one] 3. Treatment cream/gel/ointment -s so whatever t...

Yes, there is always someone who is worse off than you. But does that mean you should be 'grateful' that you don't have it as bad and just stop complaining? No. Others' pain has little to do with your...

I've used this before, it's a good, basic cleanser when you don't want any extra treatment apart from benzoyl peroxide. It won't prevent acne, it just cleanses.

Yes, it will help it, but cystic acne often needs internal treatment as well as external. Antibiotics would be a good starting point at the same time as using Dan's regimen. Nevertheless, no treatme...

If you were insane, you wouldn't have typed all that. If you were insane, you'd have no idea. It sounds like you have some kind of depression, most likely clinical depression. Avoidant personality d...

Olive oil is very comedogenic, I wouldn't use it. What about hemp seed oil? Apparently it's almost identical to human sebum, even more than jojoba.

it's a waste of money, don't buy it. it really doesn't do anything. in fact it made my skin worse! the best thing to do to clear up your face is eating healthy!   I'm not going to use it to get...

Yeah, I have a cyst like that. I'm having it surgically removed. My doctor said it's pointless trying to treat it topically, it's too deep.

I think you already know this one but I'm gonna say it anyway: Stop picking. Seriously, you are making your acne a million times worse by picking. Do you have any kind of skincare routine at the m...

Hey man. I don't know you and you don't know me. Everyone's experience after this drug is different. My point is that I would trade anything in the works to undo the damage it's caused as would anyone...

I have above average levels of B9 [folic acid] and my skin is crap. I wish my acne had something to do with a vitamin deficiency but apparently I have perfect levels of everything. Here are the symp...

Do you eat a lot of the same things/meals? Do you have any food allergies? How restricted is your diet? Though it could well be your body 'purging' all the nasties out...when you start eating health...

What other tests are you having? Update us on the results!

I'm considering asking Santa for a Clarisonic. If any of you have one, or a very similar product, what do you think about it, how well does it work, etc.

Because people with troublesome body acne are covering themselves up.

It looks like you have clogged pores or little papules, and not cysts. They should go away with exfoliation.
