You need to try accutane at this point in my opinion. Like you really do sound like you're incredibly depressed both from acne and from life in general. This is totally understandable and normal. Ther...

My old hyperpigmentation is clearing. I get a tiny little bump once in awhile in random locations, but they aren't really whiteheads, more like a clogged pore. They go away quickly. Redness from rosac...

Hey OP, I was on accutane twice and I did NOT have any major problems with it, besides some dry skin. So a lot of people tolerate it really well. However, my acne did come back, although not as bad. T...

Humans have been eating grains for .. well, since paleolithic times. They've found grains in the teeth of neandertal skulls. So I don't think grains (especially "older" grains like barley, teff, oats,...

Okay, I think your doctor actually has a point. I was on 20mg a day and it cleared me (for a while). Actually I started spacing them out so that it was every other day and I still maintained clear ski...

I personally do not believe that Accutane is necessarily at fault for any of the diseases listed above, because these diseases/illnessesare typical of the western population in general, and it is prob...

I know how you feel!! Sometimes it can also be annoying to hear people say "just live your life" because if it were that easy we wouldn't all be here in this group!  I understa...

I know when life has been hard it is very easy to slip into a cynical and self-centered viewpoint. I don't mean to say you are being selfish or that how you feel is wrong at all, by the way. It is sim...

I wouldn't have a single problem dating anyone with acne, even severe acne as long as they had a good personality. I really wish there was a dating site like that though, it would make things so much ...

When you say you avoid dairy, do you mean you just don't consume it often, or like .. ever? Some people are very sensitive to dairy and even the tiniest amount could break you out. Make sure to check ...

And believe me I KNOW it's hard staying away from those kinds of things, especially if people around you are eating them. And it's kind of hard to fit in and be seen as a regular person when you have...

I think it can, for some people at least. Nina and Randa (of youtube fame) can't eat any kind of oil or excess fat because it breaks them out horribly. I have tried eating their way (very low fat) and...

I don't look anyone in the eye because I'm horribly shy. xD

It looks like normal acne to me. If you haven't tried it already, I would give benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid products a shot!

OH. Okay I can understand that! I've never tried B5 myself because I've got thin hair already and tons of people report hair loss. ;o;

Having acne doesn't make you ugly. In my opinion the only thing that makes a person ugly is a bad personality.   We really are our own worst critic.

He sounds like a toxic jerk. I hope to the gods that you break up with him, because it sounds like he's bringing you down emotionally. Partners shouldn't do that! You can have acne and still be beau...
