I've tried Differin on the triceps portion of my arm before (where I get keratosis pilaris), but never for more than a few days. I pretty much forget I've got KP as it's not really visible to me, so, ...

Kinda average. Have this one spot which just doesn't want to die. It's been there for four days and even though it went down after the first day it's still hanging around. Just have to keep reminding ...

When you 'expel' this substance it weighs probably a couple of grams at the most, so you would have to be severely malnourished for this to have any nutritional effect on your body.

How exactly did you discover that masturbation was affecting your androgen levels? Did you do some type of A/B test and measure the levels of your androgen hormones? If Accutane is working for you ...

I've never heard of Accutane affecting someone's puberty, but no one here is really qualified to give you a definitive answer. Your best bet is the simplest option: ask your dermatologist.

Well there's definite improvement. It's looking a lot calmer! And you're bound to see lots more progress over the next 12 weeks, so good luck!

How many more weeks have you got on Accutane?

I remember a few girls making comments about me being ugly back when I was about 17/18. It wasn't specifically my acne they were getting at, but just me in general. But, hey, I did have terrible hair,...

Yeah, I've done loads of stupid things with my skin in the past too! When I was 16 I decided to get a wet bar of soap and smear a thick layer of it all over my face. I then left it on for about 10 ...

It seems a shame to restrict your life in this way due to acne, but obviously everyone's entitled to do what they want. However, your kids may not even get acne like yours. It's all a bit of a gene...

I'm feeling a bit up and down about my skin. Only one new spot in the last week which is good (although that one did come up yesterday, so it's still active), but feeling bad about the amount of re...

Acnecide is damn expensive for what it is, but it appears to be one of the only benzoyl peroxide available in the UK now. There used to be loads of different options, but now it's only the expensive A...

I'd say 6. A doctor would probably diagnose it as mild-moderate, but their rating always seems to be less than you consider your acne. For example, I've gone to my doctor before with much worse ski...

I'm in a similar situation too! At the moment I get a couple of spots a week, but I feel as though my skin is horrendous. It's been about 10 times worse in the past, but that's little comfort to me...

I've always put my acne down to genetics. I've just been unfortunate in the acne gene lottery. I have oily skin, so that's a good indicator of why I'm prone to acne. Obviously, some people with oil...

Sex is great when it's with someone you click and are both attracted to each other. This does, however, decline the longer time goes on though!

God damn awful. Again.

It's difficult to diagnose your acne any further than you have acne! My doctor has told me before that the seasons can affect your acne, but personally, I've never really noticed a significant diff...

I often wonder what happened to a lot of the posters on here. I first started regularly visiting acne.org in 2003, so I've seen a LOT of posters come and go. Have they cured themselves of acne? Hav...

I never ended up on Roaccutane (although I was supposed to, but a pesky liver enzyme level) put paid to that. My skins much better now anyway, but I always wish I could have got on the 'tane. The thou...

Hi! Long time user of Differin here - been on it since 2004! One of the earliest effects of Differin I noticed was that my skin felt smoother (where there wasn't acne) - have you noticed this? It m...

Ouch! That's all I can say! OUCH!
