I don't think I've ever actually had a cyst, but I have had a few nodules. Most of my acne was just superficial/above the skin. I only got like 1 painful zit a month. Once I stopped the BP I've never ...

Thankyou, that's exactly what i am experiencing.. skin that's so damaged it doesn't want to heal or moisturize. Can I ask what you were or have been using for your skin that helped the breakouts, sens...

I have!! I quit BP in March of last year. I had been using it pretty consistently for 2 years when I quit. Idk if there is really a way to avoid a breakout when stopping BP because it messes with your...

Nope, but I have two uncles, a brother-in-law, a cousin and a grandfather who are doctors. I'm glad your school recognizes alternative medicines but many do not. Practicing doctors, of course, are dec...

6) Disconnected attitude. There is an attitude in medical school that you are a great doctor if you give out great bandaids. There is no sense of working with your body to help it heal itself. Natural...

It's possible to get pimples on the top of our hands, although the skin on our hands is much different than that on our face. It is much less sensitive and in general less prone to breakouts. The bott...

What was the condition of your skin prior to using a cleanser? Any cleanser, no matter how gentle has ALWAYS given me forehead acne. It wasn't until I stopped using a cleanser that my forehead actuall...

I joined a swim team at 8 years old and was on it until I was 18. That means my face was in chlorine for 2 or more hours almost everyday for 10 years. During that time I NEVER had any skin problems. M...

I have those stupid bumps on my forehead too. You can't really see them but you can feel them. It's really annoying and it always seems like whatever I put on them just makes it worse. But yeah your c...

Yeah after I did the caveman thing I've been just washing my face with water everyday in the shower and I've been fine. No new breakouts. It was all the products that was causing my breakouts for me t...

Yeahh I think diet is really important, not only for clear skin but just your body in general. So many chronic illnesses and debilitating diseases can be linked back to diet. Keep your updates coming ...

haha good. I hope it helps. I feel like you fell into the same trap I did with the skincare industry. I had a minor breakout once and freaked out and bought proactive. It just made my face red and wor...

Hey I don't think you really have a problem with acne as much as you do with irritation. Your skin just kind of looks irritated and red in the middle of your forehead and on the sides of your cheeks. ...

Hey I'm glad to see you've stuck it out for the full 30 days and more! I think I did around 47/48 myself and then finally took it all off. I was at the beach at the time and just dumped my head under ...

Okay so an update! Well it's been a little while now since I've started using baking soda instead of toothpaste and it's definitely reduced the amount of breakouts around my mouth. So yeah that's good...

i still have some bp left on my hand so i put the rest on my forehead and chin. T_T Oh i sound so stupid..   lol that sounds like me when i started the regimen 2 years ago. i never had acne on ...

Question for you...if you didn't have acne on your forehead or chin why would you use the regimen on those parts of your face?   Also, the new pimples you are getting isn't really "purging" stuf...

yeah I mean I had my ups and downs over the three months but near the end I really hadn't gotten anything new for a few weeks so I was pretty sure I was in the clear. But yeah it did leave me with ...

hey to be honest I didn't really read all of this but just wanted to let those of you know that are struggling with it that it does work! I was on epiduo (BP + differin) from december to march and ...

Okay, so here's what's been my routine the past several days. I really feel like its working. My skin is starting to feel normal. It's sucks because it's almost that time of the month, so I'm afraid I...

I find it funny how almost every single person with acne gets upset easily. Rude remark, oh well I find it funny and sad at the same time how much emotional baggage acne creates. Oh well, good luck ...

This is a bad thread, I will start a new one, one that is dedicated to COLD WATER ONLY, NOTHING ELSE. okay bye

It's getting better. I'm breaking out less. I used to get pretty bad pustules, but have been getting less of those. It hasn't been that long but I'm noticing an improvement. I still have a lot of r...

I just stopped completely. I was out of BP once and forgot to make an order in advance so there was a period when I just didn't have anything. I used cleansers and moisturizer during the time but th...

I feel your pain. I'm 27 and I should be past having it but adult acne happens to people. We're just one of those unfortunate ones. I think your mom is right. Stop applying things on your face and...
