Blissfully Unaware

I've started avoiding mirrors as much as possible, not putting on the light in the bathroom (always the mirror I look in most) and if I get an urge to pick or pop I pick up my phone and play a game on...

Feeling pretty down again... seems like i never have a day where my skin doesn't break out lately, my back and chest included. Does anyone here have experience of going to see a doctor on the NHS (uk)...

My mum once looked at me and said "are you getting chicken pox?" It was just all the leftover red marks she was looking at...   Unrelated, a few weeks ago I was talking to a guy on the phone and...

What right do you have to judge others when you don't know them? That comment you made to that girl could really have affected her, it could still be affecting her, how would you like it if when your ...

Let's hope this acne nightmare ends soon for both of us. I feel worse then ever right now. Coming on here seems to help because I know I'm not alone in how I feel

Terrible yet another breakout, I really thought I was getting somewhere... Just want to curl up in my bed and eat junk (which I hardly do because I just want clear skin) but when I feel like this, I ...

I know it's annoying but sometimes you need to just leave them alone and they will come to a head eventually. Benzoyl peroxide helps if you are really desperate, sometimes makes mine come to a head fa...

I use sudocrem after popping, usually reduces redness and helps it heal faster

I hate judging people on how they look, and especially considering how much I go through with my own skin, I would find it hard to judge them when i know what they are going through. Working in custom...

Just witch hazel, I've never been to a dermatologist. I've tried treatments like BP but they just don't work!! I recently bought freederm overnight cleansing serum but that's just doubled my acne and ...

Since I started wearing no make up I have seen an improvement in my skin overall, but if I am having a breakout I'll apply a bit of bareminerals blemish remedy on the reddest spots, I say do whatever ...

I've started sitting in the dark in my room watching movies and rubbish tv and feeling sorry for myself a lot lol

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel! I just don't want to do anything anymore, ya know? I know, even when I go out to the shops or something not too big a deal I can't bear to look anybody in the eyes ...

Feel the exact same way as you. I make plans with friends but if my face looks too awful I make some lame excuse to not go. I've hardly seen anybody apart from my parents lately.. and they always say ...

lol at least were not alone in the struggle! hopefully someone here can help you out

I haven't a clue, i used to get similar breakouts to you but now my forehead is clear and my chin still breaks out, I know chin breakouts are supposedly hormonal but apart from that I have no idea. Ac...

My chin is looking better now I've controlled my picking habit, so I'm feeling better overall hope I can keep it up.

Both my parents had pretty bad acne and so did my brother, so makes sense to me. They all cleared up so I hope I will too.

Pretty bad, breaking out in whiteheads on my chin again. Always my chin, as my forehead and cheeks are clear? anybody know why?

Ouch! you should complain to them, that is not good. I doubt it will cause any permanent damage, i had a huge bruise on my face recently and putting metal spoons in the freezer for a few minutes (no...
