I started using a DE razor, and I've noticed that while getting a closer shave, my face isn't breaking out nearly as bad. I use a Merkur 34C handle with a Merkur blade, Proraso shave soap, and I do i...

I've been a picker since I was a teenager. Somehow, as much as I try to remind myself that they might not get all noticeable, I still pick. This week, I think I finally had a scare that really made ...

I've gone back and forth between wet shaving and electric shaving. I went back to wet shaving a few weeks ago, but instead of canned shave gel and a Gillette disposable (Fusion or Mach 3), I went old...

Some time ago, I forgot my password. I still have the e-mail with the new high-security password, but whenever I try to change it, it just says it failed. I've tried logging out and logging back in....

I wonder if low vitamin D or a lack of sunlight has been affecting me. Been lousy weather the last few weeks, and didn't see much sun. My skin hasn't been doing so well and had some big spots on my ...

I'm starting to think it may have been a significant contributor. I replaced my morning coffee with decaf over the last week, and my skin was improving. Friday I broke down and had a large coffee, r...

I think I was getting too much caffeine lately, I would often have 4-5 cups of coffee a day. Noticed I could still be wide awake at 2 AM, then finally crash and be really slow to get up in the mornin...

While I managed to change my diet, increased fruits and veggies, and I'm reducing refined sugar, I had a little bout with the plumbing not working right, apparently not getting enough fiber. Suffice ...

I sure hope this lasts, a few days into it and I'm already seeing improvement. I had one tiny bump form on my cheek, but some BP has taken care of it rapidly. Even the remnant from a large one I pic...

Thanks all, I'm already seeing the effects since cutting back on the sugar. There is less redness, and the deep ones are going away nicely. I have one tiny whitehead that developed on my chin, but I...

After some epic zits last week, it dawned on me that I had junked out on pizza for lunch at the cafeteria, had spaghetti for dinner, visited the vending machine and had junky snacks, and cut back on f...

Is it true that BP gel will bleach hair? I have a zit on the back of my neck, and I'm afraid to put BP on it because it's in my hair. Anything else I can do for it?

Ugh, major setback last week. I had a huge cyst on my temple, and I went after it. Big mistake. Big mistake number 2, a bump above my ear. I went after that one, making the top of my ear very sore....

Day 4 My face is looking much better. The spot on my neck is going away nicely. I'm starting to wonder if the 10% BP gel I was using was causing more problems than fixing; I was running low and bo...

Day 3 So pleased with myself. I had a sore spot forming on my cheek. One that I would have been tempted to go at. Despite still being a little sore, it never looked like much. Just treating it w...

Day 2 Oh man, today is going to be hard. The spots are not red and inflamed, but they are starting to flake off and they itch. It's going to be a long day. Just call me "slap happy". Aside from ...

Day 1 Made it 24 hours without scratching, squeezing, or antagonizing anything. Yay! I had to slap myself a couple of times when I realized I was about to start touching them. The sore spot behind...

Here goes, I'm trying again to stop picking or squeezing whatever bumps appear on my body. I don't have that many new pimples that form daily, but when they do, I tend to make them very inflamed. I ...

I've noticed this too, recently. I had a sore one starting on my chin that felt like it was down deep, and I found it at work, of all places. I had one start like that that got all nasty, so I thoug...

Thanks all, just venting a little. I had never considered it might be rosacea, but I'm thinking about seeing my doctor anyway. I was in my late teens when I saw a dermatalogist, and he prescribed a ...

Things can be going along great, then all of a sudden I have painful, red spots that seem to start way down deep. I don't really eat junk food, but reading around here I get the feeling I shouldn't ...

Interesting, I have experienced the hard plugs that seem to stick around until I can tweeze them out. Not as many as of late, but I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!

Any news on results?
