Im not going to leave my picture up for very long but I wanted to show you my face at its best. Its a shame it does not always look this way. This picture was taken about a month ago and its the best ...

Thanks for your advice LeeLowe. I know I sound like an idiot, but its hard to cope with. I compare it to when someone wants to silently tell you you have something on your face, what do they do, they...

I know Ive mentioned it before but at this point especially now that Im being treated, it makes me extremely angry when people have to touch or rub their face when they speak to me or look at me. I ...

Jensweetone, you are an inspiration. Your skin looks so pretty. I lterally have a crater face. Even when I take a close up on my phone, it looks like craters. I dont think I will ever be attractive ag...

Thank you for your kind words..I'm not making the progress at the rate I want. I just don't want to have to see people react to my skin. Whether. It's staring or rubbing or scratching their face . I ...

I was feeling good until a so called friend mind you she is in her 40s, tried to be a smart ass. I was actually talking about my twists in my hair and how I hate them. She goes "What are you talking ...

I wanted to give you all an update. After nearly 16 years of untreated acne, (mind you Ive had it since I was ten) I am seeing progress. However Im still experience alot of discrmination. The good th...

I think the lines were temporary. I have not had them sense the first couple of weeks, although lately Im noticing some lines again.

Feeling uncertain. Some days Im feeling great. I know Im improving. This past Monday I felt not pretty, not good but downright GORGEOUS. My skin was damn near flawless. I even caught a male co worker ...

DarkHeart you sound like me and I wish I was like your co worker. I used to be that way when I was younger. I could not care less about my skin. Granted, I used a ton of makeup (made it look worse) b...

I cant bring myself to do this...I dont know why. I admire all of you that can. .Now that Im under a doctor's care for my skin maybe I can be more open. I just dont like to make a part of my conversat...

I would like to report a positive note,  Today I sat with not one but two co workers at lunch. We laughed talked. No one rubbed their face.  For me, thatis progress.

Wow..just wow such courage. I never speak about my skin. Ever. Its not that I pretend it doesnt exist. I dont want to talk about it in person. The closest I ever came was recently I said my skin is ...

GetSchwifty. I always enjoy your posts and replies. I try so hard to be friendly at work. I say good morning half of the people act like they dont see or hear me yet when someone more popular says hel...

Thank you for your words getschwifty. I hate going to work every day. It doesn't help that I work around 20 something's We Dont have much in common as it is but for me to be older with much worse skin...

I am considering taking action against my employer for discrimination. It is clear they are alienating me due to my skin. As I mentioned in my first post in this topic, whenever a co worker has to sh...

Excellent advice Beyond Infinity. Im also going to try to get my story out there. Ive made the decision that anyone who tries to bully me because of my skin will be called out.

Im feeling the same as many of you its inconsistent. Saturday I felt so pretty. I thought my skin actually looked pretty. Today I feel that I looked so ugly. Not so much the break outs but my face lo...

Hey Claydog thanks for your response. Im allergic to salicylic acid. Although my skin purged from the glycolic acid peel I liked the results better than with the tretoin cream Im using. I see some s...

Showing small signs of progress at least for today. My children are willingly kissing and touching my face. They rarely do. People are smiling at me. Not a pity smile but a genuine "its nice to see yo...

Alot of great advice has been given here. To tell you the truth I wouldnt want to not work. Seeing gorgeous, popular people gives me something to strive for. In the US trying to deal with any sort of ...

I feel the same way Geek Girl. I hate going to work with my ugly face. I dont like getting on the train and wondering if anyone is going to be brave enough to sit next to me or quickly move to the opp...

I know somewhat how you feel. Im not on accutane but I am on Birth Control Pills and a combination of topical treatments. I want real results and I want them now. Take comfort and confidence in the ...

Ive been using my prescriptions for about 3 weeks now. I know I have to be patient but Im not seeing the results I want. The huge cysts have dried up but my face is very spotty and I swear the tretin...

I have horrible skin. However my three girls dont have it nearly as bad. Even though people dont want to discuss diet it has alot to do with it especially in my case. When I was a teenager and in coll...
