I'm really glad you decided to go ahead and stay with him, I know it's hard letting your partner see you without makeup. I STILL feel self-concious about my husband seeing me without coverup, and we'v...

I've been feeling really down the past three days, my skin just keeps erupting in these stupid whiteheads that start out as under-the-skin red bumps that are sort of painful. I popped one this morning...

I'm no dermatologist so I'm not sure exactly the reasons why they would "skip" days instead of just putting you on a low dose everyday, like 10 mg or something? I think it will still be effective for ...

I think it depends on the individual and how the pimple looks. I used to be totally evil to my face and try and pop everything, it was awful. It made things much worse because I'd get more zits in th...

I've heard that acne around the chin and mouth area are likely to be related to hormone imbalances. I don't really know if this is true, even though my hormones ARE kinda nuts and that's exactly where...

BLAHH. I've been sort of on edge and anxious all day .. I don't like taking my benzo medications on days I'm off because I tend to build up a tolerance to them when I take them constantly. It's easier...

Grains, beans and potatoes are really the only plant foods that have much of any so called anti-nutrients in them. Regular veggies (like leafy greens) are totally safe to eat in whatever quantities y...

Even though you're burning the CALORIES in the carbs you eat, you could still be getting loads of inflammation from it. Is there any way you could reduce or eliminate carb consumption and stick to mor...

It kinda looks like keratosis pilaris? But the non-inflamed kind called "keratosis pilaris alba". It definitely doesn't look like regular acne to me. I would go to a dermatologist and see what they ca...

You're not crazy! I've noticed the exact same thing since I've had acne, which is like .. 13 years or so now? There has to be something to this. I've seen rashes and similar stuff appear on other peop...

UHG. I should be past my hormonal breakout right about now, but I still have a few spots that just won't budge. They're not so bad I guess, especially since I don't pick them like I used to. I decide...

Acne that fails to clear past 25 is RARE. Everyone grows out of it at some point. The owner of this website even states so in the info section. It is predominately a teenage disease. If you have sever...

I wonder if the reason people think eggs are dairy is because they are almost always situated right next to each other in grocery stores. There are SO MANY yummy food stuffs you can eat that are rea...

You have acne of course, right? Is it severe? In multiple breakouts? Everywhere? Only cysts? What have you done so far? Has anything worked? Are you on the Nutrition boards for a critique on a few die...

I really think that if possible you should see a doctor about this, just to be on a safe side! Could it be very deep, under the skin cysts? I was on nearly the exact same dosage and length of time as ...

Well I don't think it's anything strange, I mean every doctor is going to try something different. Personally I was on a low dose of 20mg a day and it was extremely effective within two weeks, which m...

You've only been on Accutane for a short amount of time. This is totally normal! Your skin is going to go through several phases before you actually get clear. Don't worry at all. Try to just not pay ...

jojoba oil definitely helped for me! before that, I i used olive oil, which is a bit heavier but so soothing to me. Basically I had to quit harsh products and stick to natural stuff to get rid of my r...

Please don't have her begin treatments like BP and salicylic acid before she has acne. Those two products are an IRRITANT and will almost certainly cause her skin to become red and flaky and dry. If...

I would give it some time! you just cut out wheat, which is good, but it could take a month or more to start seeing a difference. Be strong and hang in there ok? The break out you have now is probab...

I DEFINITELY know what you mean, I had this exact problem while on Accutane! I never really noticed how dry and flaky my skin was until I would try to put makeup on .. it was a mess. Basically the onl...

I concur with most people here, I think the ivory soap is probably not doing you much good. I occasionally use "Grandpas Oatmeal Soap" bar to remove my makeup and it's pretty gentle, you can google it...

I use coconut oil (unrefined, cold pressed, organic) every night. It doesn't break me out. I did a spot test first though just to make sure! I guess it's a hit or miss with people like anything else....

My husband has good genes and does not get any acne and always told me he hopes our beautiful children take after him I know it sounds mean but I actually agreed with him. Ack! I'm sorry but this ju...

I really despise all this talk about how men or women have it worse when it comes to acne. We both have it pretty fricking terrible, just in different ways. Stop trying to make this into a contest for...
