Sigh, it has come to this. My question is in the title itself. How many years of your life are you willing to give up for clear, blemish-free skin? Let's put it this way, skin that's so good, you wou...

If it's any consolation, you have age (youth) on your side. You're 18. I wish I was 18 again and there would be loads of time for me to figure out different treatments. Just go enjoy life in college, ...

I drink milk by the gallon and it doesn't affect (worsen) my acne one single bit. I tried cutting out milk for a few months and it did nothing either. I'm just amazed how fast milk has a reaction on y...

Summary: the more I read about probiotics (and about people taking them as supplements), the more I gather that it worsens acne rather than improve it...this is freaky stuff. 1 hour ago, WittySoc...

Very well said. It's 2016. We sent humans to the moon like 50 years ago and they can't do anything for a cyst. It's immeasurably frustrating.

Quick question: you mentioned being on Accutane; how long did you remain clear after getting off it? I'm currently on Doxy but the doctor is only willing to prescribe a month's worth. He said he's not...

I would guess most people here fit into 3 or probably even 2. I don't mean to suggest that people freak out over their own skin condition but terms like 'volcano', 'crater' and 'size of the moon' real...

Thanks for the reply, I was also half-wondering if there's anything to make the antibiotics even more effective. I don't know, maybe eating some kind of food?

It's not hideous. I don't even know where to start looking for the 'dent' you're talking about.

Hi guys, I've heard that it's beneficial to take probiotics while on a course of antibiotics because the latter destroys all the good flora in our gut, thereby causing indigestion, etc. That's all to ...

First things first, who instructed you to go on a 'restricted diet'? Was it your nutritionist or was it something that inspired you on the Internet?
